The 2004 Hustler 388 Slingshot is a 38-foot high-performance boat built on a fiberglass stepped-hull design engineered for speed and agility. Twin Yanmar diesel engines producing 800 horsepower drive the boat through Arneson ASD8 surface drives, which lift the propellers out of the water to reduce drag and improve handling at speed. The boat reaches a cruising speed of approximately 52 mph and a maximum speed of nearly 70 mph.
The hull features a stepped bottom design that enhances performance while maintaining stability across the water. Custom graphics and aggressive lines accentuate the racing heritage of this Poker Run Edition model. The cockpit incorporates Gaffrig instrumentation, hydraulic steering for responsive control, and custom McLeod upholstery. Bolstered captain seats provide security during high-speed operation, with ample seating for passengers throughout the boat.
Below deck, the cabin offers modest but functional space for essentials. The electrical system supports shore power, and the boat is equipped with GPS speedometers and depth gauges for navigation. The construction uses quality marine-grade materials and Kevlar hull layup designed to withstand high-speed operation and maintain durability with regular maintenance.
