I'm not absolutely certain about the lineage, but the Talon bottom looks identical to the Maelstrom to me. The Maelstrom looks very much like the Peters-designed Apache cat.

There is a difference between the original Talon design and the Hustler Talon's,Hustler added the center pod and cabin!
37.5 ft long with a 10' 4" beam a very smooth riding boat!.
Here are a few picks of our 377 Talon!

Hustler added neither. Hustler made the entrance into the existing cabin more high tech.And they made it wider.
The original boat that was the start of RR was my 37 Talon with 900 mercs.
It was one of the models that came with a center pod.
There was another Talon up here at the same time that I ran with.
Half canopied...but with no center pod.
Both boats ran 138-140.
Very stable .
Hustler bought the molds in the early 2000s from the original owner and made good cosmetic changes to the interior.
UNITED NATIONS
Ran the **** out of that boat for 4 years beginning in 1999.
The current owner is a friend who is at the front of every poker run it is in.

06-09-2009 10:53 AMIt belongs to one of their friends.
Priced way cheap.
I've run with that boat many times.
Quick.
Owner has run it with his young son, so it has not had the crap beat out of it.
Owner is normal family guy and runs on calm water.
Boat is in good shape.
Call Peter

Sure do. Originally built for R.Chiovitti, owner of a big banana importing company in Toronto and rigged with tripple second effort johnson v8's. Rarely ever used and sat in a climate controlled toy warehouse for years. Rerigged with mercs by RR a couple years ago. Very clean, low hour boat.

06-09-2009 12:25 PMPeters designed the Apache and the Maelstrom. The Talon is SOOOOO similar- even looking at the treatment on the forward edges at the bow- almost identical in how they're angled back instread of being "pointy".
