Did Active Thunder make a 24'
 

Gentleman I work with says he has found one for sale and asked my insight.

I have always heard great things about the Active Thunders,
but I haven't found any info on a 24'.

If they do indeed exist do any of you have any feed back on them good or bad.

Thanks
Jon

25' Active Thunder came from the 24' Cigarette. I don't think they made a 24 model.

I did not know that
 

Learn something new everyday....

I asked him again if he was sure it was a 24' he said yes and it is a 1991.

Maybe it's a 25' and listed as a 24' ???????????


Jon

NADA shows that AT made a 24 from 1991-1993. Listed as being an outboard boat.

22 OB, 25 I/O & OB, 28 I/O & OB?, 32, 33, 37....any more?

Years ago, before the company came under Pat's ownership; the boats were known under Cannon Powerboats and Thunder Boats.

There was a 24' boat at that time.

That boat is/was mine. It is a Thunder 24, same hull as the 25 Active Thunder. It was the 3rd one built and it was built off a cigarette firefox. I had it built and just sold it. Hated to sell it but I don't need 2 boats. I did explain the name change to the new owner. They only built one with outboards for Mike Livorsi.

Here's a picture of the boat.

Great shot!

Thanks Harsin,

I guess he won't have to worry about coming to look at it. :ernaehrung004:

p.s. How did it run out? How long did you own it ?

Thanks

Jon

Jon, I was the original owner. It started out with a 502 magnum, ended up a 565 cu stroker motor. On the liquid filled speedo it showed around 80. I think it ran quite a bit faster than that, but I told people it ran a good 78, I usually ran away from any body that thought they were running 80 easily. One guy swore up and down his boat ran in the 80s so we went out, I let him get going, flew past him and just for fun ran a very large circle around him, he never talked about running in the 80s anymore. My wife and I loved that boat, had a lot of fun on it, now we have a 32 AT, next boat will be a 37 AT. Morry

Sounds like it was a nice HotRod. :D

Where did it end up going to ?

Jon

Bay city Michigan

Morry, Key West this year?:ernaehrung004:

Above info is correct. Started out as a Cannon 24 which became Active Thunder. Same boat, same molds. They were the 1st boats along with the Thunder 31 (Active Thunder 32) that Pat built when he bought the company. The 24/25 is a great rough water boat. Stout V, deep cockpit, narrow beam, and spacious cabin made it stand out. The boat was also successful in the F1 race class..just ask Gordo!!

Hi John We have our room and plane tickets, can't wait. WE had them last year to and a job I had going at the time prevented us from going. Hope to see you there.

They actually started out as Thunder Boats [ Bob Oetringer] Then he sold the company to a guy by the name of Ziggy[ I think that was his name] and he changed the name to Cannon. He had it for a few years and then I don't know if he lost it back to Bob and then Pat bought it from Bob or Pat bought it from Ziggy or if someone else was involved. Oetringer was also selling the Active cats. I wonder who bought the 25 mold and if they're going to do any thing with it.
