Don't really want that motor,rather have a stock 496ho or maybe a 525 , but I could be wrong, not really sure

Thanks for the input

Finally heading out on the lake might not be back for awhile

glad to see you got outa the Profile mode. that would be a great boat for you . I understand about the blower, you could get rid of the blower and probly end up with a real strong bottom end with just a one carb. I have a great motor guy here that could take care of that for you. seems like a real nice boat . you wont find a better offshore in that size. let me know what you do. It looks like a 500 hp with a blower bolted on. could be a very easy swap if they didnt change the pistons see what you can find out about the motor build. Mark... maybe Pat will jump in here if he has anything to add

Tight looking boat! I don't know it personally, but there are no horror stories about 25' Active Thunders!!!!

Cosmic, Did check w/Pat about that used 28?

I emailed them an inquiry but no responce.Still have more places to look but want to look at as many as I can B4 I decide.

Gotta keep the next for awhile, Hope A-bay was as nice as Henderson was, finally got some sun and good temps and burned up some fuel

Mike , Pat was in new york for the poker run this week end. I am sure he will get back to me or you soon. that 25 looks great I wouldnt be to worried about the blower, that can go away real easy.

Tantrum

Thats a lot of money for that boat. PM me if you want to here what I sold last year. You should be able to get into a 28 for just a touch more than what they are asking pretty easy. Now the right boat would be worth the money but that blower scares me as well, Im just not a used blower guy.
As far as AT goes, I think its one of the best V bottoms out there, Profile wouldnt even be in the same league.
Good luck shopping.

Thats what I figured,rather have a 28......

Not worried about gettin rid of blower worried about abuse cuased by it, didn't say how many hrs on it either...find out more tommorow

Those steering rams don't look like top draw.
Otherwise, seems like a nice ride. But i think tantrum is right... a bit much $ for a 25.

This 28 is worth a look as well.
