In 1989, the 32 Hustler was awarded Powerboat Magazine's Offshore Performance Boat of the Year, for the second time. Their victory was so convincing, their opponents could not believe a boat could run so fast, the entire class protested, but to no avail, and the Hustler 32 was now the undisputed and undefeated World Champion.
How fast would the boat go with stock 330's? A 32’ race boat equipped with a pair of 330 HP Pleasurecraft engines hooked to Arneson surface drives went undefeated in the Sportsman A, APBA tour and won the World Championships in Key West, Fl. In 1986, the now celebrated 32 Hustler achieved another milestone some experts feel was even more monumental then the 106 MPH clocking with 650hp. With a pair of 630 HP engines, the 32 ran 106 MPH like it was on rails. In 1985, the 32 Hustler would make the high performance offshore world realize that Hustler was the fastest, toughest, best riding V-bottom in the world. The experts loved the speed and handling of the boat, but were even more impressed with its construction. That year, 1984, Hustler won the coveted award from Powerboat Magazine for Product Excellence. For its time frame in history, the 85-MPH was shocking, but the way the boat handled at this speed was even more incredible. This performance was the first national attention Hustler had achieved. In 1984 the 32 Hustler LE was taken to the prestigious Powerboat Magazine performance trials where it shocked the High Performance world with an incredible speed of 85 MPH. In 1982, Hustler had refined the 32 design and it was able to run 74 MPH with twin 330 HP engines and surface drives. This model has won dozens of accolades including numerous national and world championships. The major manufacturers recognized that consumers wanted to go faster but these boats were simply unsafe at these speeds. In the early 80's performance boats were achieving speeds of 50 and 60 mph but encountered tremendous problems chine walking and porpoising. In 1979 Hustler was born because of our need for a faster, safer, offshore boat with more accommodations than anything currently available.
