Near the shore it was 3 to 5'. A mile or so out, it was 8'.

It's been ugly down here for a while. We have a Cobalt 343 with twin 525's and bravo XR's. The cobalt would have handed us a beating in the water we were in today.

Look in the AT section. One of the Members - Macklin has a decked out 37 that is like new (no BS) and I think he is going to put it for sale. Save a few more coins and get a like new boat.

Yup. Thinkin' about it. Also thinkin' I would love to enjoy it for one more season. I've only put 105 hours on her.

BUT...




And yes, Pat's demo rides ARE legendary!

I may be interested if the boat fits what im looking for. Any chance you can direct to some pictures of it. What are you looking to get out of it?

Thanks,
Tom

Pat is a great guy and builds an Awesome boat, I wouldnt hesitate on either an Active THunder, or the Cig. Surprised to hear about the attitude at Cig, but they do get extremely busy with dreamers at the show. If you want to seriously talk to someone about a Cig, PM me, and I can get you in touch with Tim.

I remember way back when they were built outside of chicago..Ziggie use to own thunder which is now called active thunder i believe..i have 2 friends that have the thunder 31's,,the boats are built vary well,i wouldnt mind saving 100+k in this economy...

Ziggy would build you just the hull for 30k but that was in the late 80's or early 90's i forget..

My 32 active thunder will run with any 38,39' boat out there in the rough, they are built rock solid and ride awsome, as well as a fast hull, and deep as any boat made for a safe feeling ride. The 37 will be my next boat and will be my 3rd active thunder.
