This is Just my two cents, & I don't know a lot about the different types of machines but as for the max, for being the newest of the three to already have needed an engine swap, re-wiring, and having A fractured hull, well that just doesn't sound good to me... Sounds to me like it was Rode very hard and put away wet. As for the hustler, to be honest I never even heard of one until joining this group and i have been drooling over pictures of the members toys ever since.. I really want one of these as a "toy" ! they look so sleek compared to the other machines and I've seen people make them fast. As previously mentioned ,The Argo has your best chance for resale value, and depending on what you want to do with it they make one hell of a solid machine. Look at how many of them are still in use 30 + years later ... It all comes down to you though mate, what do you want to do with it, how much work can you do yourself and how much are you willing to invest. Definitely keep us posted though because I'm curious which way you're going to go.
