Cosmic,

I test drove that 28 with the HO, I was hitting 65 GPS without being wideopen, dealer wouldn't let me open it up. Very fast for an HO.

I believe APMBoats has a 28 with a 525 for sale also. A few of the pictures are wrong but I think it is still for sale, this is the boat on the Active Thunder website.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Funny, the boats from post 2 & 3 have the same paint job and are both in MD? or is the pic of the boat in post 3 wrong, like derek said.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Stormrider,

They actually do have very similar paint jobs. If you go the the Active Thunder website and click new boats and the 28 you will see the one with the 525. The HO has a very similar paint job with slight variations. It looks like they mixed up the photos when posting for the 525. In Tony's post they have the 525 as being in Pompano, I think there was a seperate thread saying it is at Active Thunder factory for sale. Frank Marchione is the new sales manager for AT and was part of APM at one time (or still is) and sold both of the boats mentioned above, so he will have the best info on the 2 boats. I think his number is listed on the Website.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Pat tells me the 525 boat is gone. I am trying to find one for someone else. thanks for the leads. they are hard to come by.{ that is the one that was in maryland the 525 boat now rumor has it that they took the 525 out and tradered it some where for sea ray}

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Wow there's alot of thunder :drink: :drink:

Where abouts is that one w/496 located, and is that a dealer that would take trades????

found it, sent an email.........that could be the one ... :D

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

camp ckem out they dont last long if they are still out there at all. web sites and phone #s all there

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

On em like flies on s**t :evilb:

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

that one w/ the 496 would be nice. especially if you can get some more warranty.
Later on Raylar it.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Yeah it looks sweet but may be just to deep for my pockets,

unless there some wiggle room w/ the price and a trailer...

lookin at a 25 tommorow nearby............... :D

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

I like the 99 25 w 500hp 39k little much but you never know till you ask:drink:

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

What's the story with the flamed 28 in the classifieds? Is this the same owner that advertised it a few months back for 55K?

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Believe it is the same boat/owner

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Mike the 25 looks great in the pics. 502 was a great motor. trailer looks good. seems to be a great pakage make him an offer./// ctadams21 ya that guy has been trying to get rid of that 28 for a long time I talked to him over a year ago didnt what to deal then @ 69.900.00 now look where he is, he doesnt return calls or e-mail

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

I looked at that boat last year. its sold.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT

Re: need 25 or 28 AT

Re: need 25 or 28 AT

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

possibly might be able to get up there sun , give ya a ring if I can :drink: ,family coming up for sat bbq, or I'd be in for sat

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

camp! so did you go test the 25 yet?

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Considering it has a 500HP, and everything that comes on a 500HP boat, that's cheap.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

I thought so.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Tested it on friday, gave him a deposit....................
hopefully drag it home next weekend if all goes well.

has a lein on the title still, any suggestions on payment and waiting for the lein release??

That boat was sweet, ran like a champ, cut throuhg the 3-4ft swells like a knife through butter...needs a few minor things,
couple minor things,oil pressure gauge not wking,water pressure gauge not wking, could use some prop work, 4 blade stainless a little banged up, but still ran good hovered around 68-70 but nongps speedo...

was sold on it the moment I grabbed the wheel ...

Saw a sweet thunder in henderson yest... said it was a 04 37
his name was Greg or Craig I think,thought I was gonna be the only in henderson with one :D

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

great to hear! yes the 37 belongs to greg. he is all over the place with that boat.you can get a certified ck made out to his bank for his payoff bal. and another one for him for the bal. don't give him his till you have a lean release. so glad to hear you like it I knew you would,it will be killer out on the ;ake when it kicks up. good luck and keep us posted. the guages are probly gafrig and can be replaced easily or it could be senders.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Think all the gauges we gafrig, seemed like bad senders,what should that boat have for a prop? came w 3 blade mirage I think, he put a 4 blade on it that was already beat up...

tyring to attach pics..........

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

looks good, the prop? I'm not really sure. someone will ck in and tell ya. I have no experance with the 25. boat looks real nice though. you could PM pat hes active thunder and ask him he will probly remember the boat and what it should have had on it.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

He gave me an article from hotboat mag from 96 on the 25

this boat sounds just like the test boat,502efi 385hp

boat has gil exhaust, mds box, reprogrammed ecm, says its got about 415HP now

mag says the boat was propped w 23" mirage 3 blade

seemed like it handle the 4 blade nicely but first time w/that much hp at the stick :D

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

4 blade should give you more stern lift. you need to talk to R-addction he's got a 25 and has been playing with it for a few years, I think he has a 502 also. Him or Gordo who used to race a 25 and did quite well with it.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

If you're running a 502efi with around 415hp, then I would suggest a 24p Bravo 4 blade, or possibly a 26p Bravo 4blade if you plan to have it lab finished. Your best top speed and overall performance will probably be with the Bravo-4 blade, BUT you might want to try a 22p or 24p Hydromotive Q-IV 4blade if you spend a lot of time in really rough or sloppy waters. .
Also, "IF" it has external hydraulic steering, then you might gain 2-3 mph with an IMCO 2" shortie lower.
Just athought.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

thanks Godo I knew you would be the man. the 25 he is buying is the one in the oics just above. Now what do you think about mine? prop? speed.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Thanks for the info Gordo, wont have alot of cash to play until I sell my other boat......probably keep it the way it is this season......does not have ext hyd steering, think that will be the first thing on my wish list :cool:

if all goes well should have it home next weekend :D :D

Time for some trust, the first cert check going out tommorow :eek:

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Congrats and welcome Camp.

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Thanks hopefully have it home by next weekend, will probably have many questions and will lots of info from all.......... :drink: :drink:

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Welcome to the Elite Fleet Camp. Best of luck with your new boat. You're gonna LOVE it !! Let me know when you're ready to do some "tweaking" I'll help if I can.

Cosmic, Tell me the details of yours and what you're running...

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

I may be wrong but the 502 efi motor was 415 HP from the factory, so if it has exhaust and other stuff it may have alittle more HP than you you think. I have been thinking about this and what you posted and thought something was wrong there. just my 2cts

Re: need 25 or 28 AT
 

Thanks Gordo, I like that "Elite Fleet"
