Sweet looking boat!

We absolutely love our 37'! The guys up here are all pi$$ed off because when the water gets rough (Lake Superior) they get left in the spray! These hulls work! Having come from a 42' Lightening...all I can say is...keep up the great job!

read about Chief and AT on their web-site www.chiefpowerboats.com

It looks to me like AT and Chief may have merged??

When you merge two great boat builder, with two different styles, one common goal, and they create one boat, it can only result in a far superior product

I preferred the Actuve Thunder name and LOGO much better than the Chief name.

I am looking into a new 2006 37' Active Thunder. can anyone give me some info on resale value and overall handling of these boats, any comparison would be nice ?? :D

I have a 2003 37' with bone stock warrantied 496HOs. 72mph every day. 77.5mph best in salt with chop. After headers and labbed props. it should touch 80mph. Mine handles GREAT. You will not find another boat that handles and rides like this one. Lifetime warranty on hull to original owner for all ATs as well... can't beat that.

Sounds like the performance I am currently getting on my 29' with twin 496 Mags. I am however almost finished with upgrading my 496 Mags to Raylar 600's and should be flying in the 90's here very soon. Best and most reasonbale upgrade solution to 496 owners yet !!

We NEVER see these Active Thunders out here on the West Coast, so I am looking for as much info as I can get.

My boat was at Havasu for the first 18 months after it was delivered. The former owner took it in the SCOPE Poker Run. There was also at least one 37AT in the recent SCOPE Poker Run as well.

I invested in 5 year extended warranty from Mercury. Now I am fighting them on a drive/gimble housing failure. I do plan to add the CMI headers sometime soon.

Brian, add those headers, 80MPH would be sweeeeet! on stock black power in a big 37 footer. Then keep it at least 2 years and I wont have to upgrade a thing. HAHA DK

I have to admit. That is ToddW's website. He still keeps it up from when he owned the boat, which I appreciate very much.

This boat recently moved to California. Belongs to a guy named Greg now. Also know of a 32 and a 28 there as well.
