We have been hijacking the other threads and talking about Macklins new boat. So i thought i would start a thread for him to officially welcome him to the Active Thunder family.
Congrats Macklin Another Virginia AT
I know you'll never be lacking opinions,advice or banter here
You sure answered my question from the other thread about how the test ride went

Congrats Macklin see you on the water soon

Lucky bastard!

It had to go good. He is ordering a boat. He told me that it was nasty and that they ran between 45-60 for only a few minutes. The Marine Forecast for last Saturday by the NOAA was 5-7 foot with an occasional 8 footer. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY!!!!!

Well, thanks for the welcome guys! I REALLY can't believe I am pulling the trigger on a brand new one!!

We have given some color sketches to AT for inputting into CAD. Should have something next week, which I will post. One of our favorites is the 'Fast Forward' scheme with a completely different twist.

The two Dianes (mine and Pat's) have colaborated on interior colors. Look out!

With my oversight ofcourse.

Should be killer!

It was one of those brutal days that we get very seldom on the lower Chesapeake. Ocean yes, but not often on the Bay. Still, the boat flew level and landed softly....even out of the 10' hole we dropped into.

I sure got what I asked for that day!

Nice to know the boat can safely, and almost comfortably, handle water that big!

I will try and post some better pics of Fast Forward in the AT pic section tonight, its one of my favorites too. Congrats on the new boat, cant wait to see what you come up with.

Active Thunder is a great boat! I was very impressed w/ the 37 at the Miami Show! Congrats!

You'll be happier in the end. You get exactly what YOU want and the build process from start to finish is fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. Whens your estimated delivery date ?

Please post a good side shot here. It will be nice to use it as a comparison.

But then again, who knows what Pat's designer will come up with.
