Global Marine Sea Trials the New 'Huntress 444' Featuring Twin TORQUE V-12 Engines and Has Great Success
ELKHART, Ind., May 9, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Torque Engineering Corporation's (OTC Bulletin Board: TORQ) President Ray Wedel is pleased to announce that Global Marine along with their dealer Lake Cumberland Marine has delivered "Color Us Gone," the first Hustler Powerboat powered by Torque Engineering V-12 engines to the end client. "The Hustler 444 fills the gap between the infamous 388 Slingshot and the 50 Power yacht. The new Hustler 444 Huntress is designed and built as a luxurious pleasure boat. Dialing in at 113 mph from the factory makes it one of the top performing pleasure boats in the world."
The Hustler 444 was debuted at the Miami International Boat Show sporting a pair of twin Torque V-12s in the engine compartment. "With the ability to handle staggered motors or comfortably fit triple engine configurations, the larger TORQUE V-12 ENGINES slipped into this compartment with room to spare," says Chip Fendt, accomplished racer and VP at Global Marine. Wedel added "the boat's design and construction allowed for a very simple side by side plug in installation.
"The 444 Huntress is built with luxury and comfort in mind. Our clients desire a level of certainty when they buy a Hustler. That's why we included the Torque motors as our power plants." Fendt went on to say, "The Torque engine is the best motor I've had the opportunity to run. In our five days of set up, not once did the engines stall. Guiding and docking this craft was effortless. While this boat will cruise between 55-85 mph and take the most adventurous owner well over the century mark, longevity is our most important requirement. These V-12s put the pleasure back into performance boating."
The 444 is now in production. Hustler will be taking orders for production slots immediately. The new model will be produced along side Hustler's full product line in the new Grumman Aerospace Facility in Calverton, NY.
Torque Engineering currently offers three models of a lightweight, aluminum, 14-liter (860 cubic inches) V-12 ENGINE for the marine pleasure boating industry. All models are naturally aspirated with advanced electronic digital engine management systems, developing 900 to 1150 horsepower and 1050 to 1150 foot pounds of torque. The TORQUE V-12 engines produce the highest known power for a naturally aspirated production engine utilizing pump gasoline.
