Re: Active Thunder Pics
 

Yea, the boat was beat when at the repo place. Good to hear that the AVH hull works well in turns. If anyone can do it, it's Tres.

Poker & Run, What AT do you have? Year, Size, Power.....ah hell how about some pictures....Sounds good in the video
:D

BOY! Hearing that sound in the dead of a Minnesota Winter really... SU%KS!

We've got at leeeeast...10-12 weeks of hibernation yet!

Totally changed this boat up last winter. BIG thanks to Customryder for the paint job.

1998 25 Tantrum w/ fuel injected 540 / 620hp

And look what I found when looking through the old Cumberland pics

And what is my g/f doing on your boat by the way?? :D

Maybe next time she'll be in the cabin or at the helm.:evilb:

Probably showing Rich how to drive:eek: Happy Birthday Buddy!!!;)

Uh, you sure you want to go there Rich.:D

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.No:D

Hey ...What about me!!!?:eek: :D :evilb:

from the archives.:drink:

Heres one taken at Bahia Cabana last week on the way back from Miami.

HeHe... that's FUNNY!!:D :D :D

Don't you have a flight to catch ?:evilb:

Uh, I guess you can go down there with but you might want to ask Rich.:eek: :D

I see the throttle is in its normal spot. :D :drink:

Brian,
from one bullsh**ter to another;
I was on Rich's boat w/ Tres. He did not "whip" a 180* turn at 80 MPH. He made a normal turn (more like 50-55mph) and it happend to be 180 degrees. That tturn Tres made was not spectacular in any fashion - UNLESS Active Thunders have issues turning, (which I don't think they do) but you would know better than I.
Just had to buss your chops a bit my friend. . . . . .:drink: :eek:

Thanks for the insight. I was not on the boat; and only had one input from Rich. I guess its all in perception, but Rich said it was intense. I did talk to Tres via PM, and he said the boat did well in his short time aboard. That's a great vote from such an experienced driver; and I know what my boat is capable of.

AT only builds boats on Wednesdays anyhow. :D :D

Would you have performed the same turn in your TS TG?

I heard only Wednesday nites. . . . .

Sure I would have done that turn in my TG. It wasn't all that. Just a turn. But don't forget - it was on Smith Mountain LAKE. It was quite smooth and raining too.
I have taken faster / tighter turns in my TG w/o any issues.
Now that Tres taught us how to turn stepped boats, I wouldn't hesitate to turn the AT or the TG 180* (tight) at speed.

Can't wait to see Macklins new toy!
I think I may be almost as excited as Macklin. He will be the 'go to' guy on AT's in rough water. You river boat guys don't get too much "water" up there. Brian, you had to go to MI to get some bouncy stuff! Saw the video; that looked "nasty".
Of course - in a Cigarette, we'd all be relaxed having cocktails in that kind of water. . . . .:rolleyes: :evilb: :drink:

I run down your way alot more than you think and have never had a problem of any kind.

Nor was any problem implied.
I was just giving Brian a friendly jab.:drink: :evilb: :drink:

Great! That means they may get some more work done on mine tomorrow. :cool:

Hey Jassman! That picture from the "archives" brings back some memories! That was a great trip wasn't it! I'd just like to see any kind of boat other than the barges/junks pushing stuff up the nasty HuangPu river here in Shanghai!:rolleyes:

Tbikini (posting on h20's name!)

Some from the pages of history. The 1st 2 were taken in 10' in Lake Mich. Nasty nasty day that was. the last one is from our sea trial the day it was delivered. That 32' was/is an awesome boat. I sure miss her.

lots of fun boating pics here if you want to view.

Todd, Your link doesn't work....:eek:

OK OK...typo...its fixed now smart guy...lol

The link does work except after its been accessed abunch....i only have limited bandwith available..too cheap to buy more bandwith...have to try again tomorrow

cool shots, i love it when people call me just a lake boater, and i also love it when the people at loto say how rough it is there.:rolleyes:

Todd - the sale of your boat was the best deal ever in the history of OSO imo.......if it came along a yr or so later it would be my boat now.......I was starting a new business and couldnt get it done.......I was hoping you were going to keep it for awhile.......doug

My thoughts exactly...Great looking boat. It went to a good home, Morri will take real good care of her.:D

Its finally going home :cool: :D :drink:

Made to Walterboro S.C. last night :eek:
