Thanks Harsin,

I guess he won't have to worry about coming to look at it.

p.s. How did it run out? How long did you own it ?

Thanks

Jon, I was the original owner. It started out with a 502 magnum, ended up a 565 cu stroker motor. On the liquid filled speedo it showed around 80. I think it ran quite a bit faster than that, but I told people it ran a good 78, I usually ran away from any body that thought they were running 80 easily. One guy swore up and down his boat ran in the 80s so we went out, I let him get going, flew past him and just for fun ran a very large circle around him, he never talked about running in the 80s anymore. My wife and I loved that boat, had a lot of fun on it, now we have a 32 AT, next boat will be a 37 AT. Morry

Sounds like it was a nice HotRod.

Where did it end up going to ?

Above info is correct. Started out as a Cannon 24 which became Active Thunder. Same boat, same molds. They were the 1st boats along with the Thunder 31 (Active Thunder 32) that Pat built when he bought the company. The 24/25 is a great rough water boat. Stout V, deep cockpit, narrow beam, and spacious cabin made it stand out. The boat was also successful in the F1 race class..just ask Gordo!!

They actually started out as Thunder Boats [ Bob Oetringer] Then he sold the company to a guy by the name of Ziggy[ I think that was his name] and he changed the name to Cannon. He had it for a few years and then I don't know if he lost it back to Bob and then Pat bought it from Bob or Pat bought it from Ziggy or if someone else was involved. Oetringer was also selling the Active cats. I wonder who bought the 25 mold and if they're going to do any thing with it.
