Well....I guess there's hope for the guys (and gals) that still want a single engine Active Thunder!!! Pat, I bet if you built a 28' Savage with a bracket, extended cockpit, and twin 250xs (or 300xs) you would attract a whole new demographic buyer and still have a boat that kicks azz!!! (and gets some fuel economy!)

Someday I will take you up on that. Just need to get a toybox built big enough, now that I got the space.

What would be the trade in value of a slightly used 25' Active Thunder, Low hours, one owner, no stereo? :cool-smiley-027:

Actually, I never installed one. I didn't want Brad to break out into song while we were racing

Gordo,

I think it's time for you to trade up. Remedy is for sale and heading to FL this Friday.

Screw that. I'm living off insurance companies until the banks will give " a brutha a loan...."

You have no idea. Everyone of my finance sources has completely pulled out of doing hi-perf loans.

And the people I talk to across the country are having the same issue so it's not just me.

Our hi-end independant car brokers are taking a dump in fla as well. No sales, too much overhead and lack of qualified (on paper) buyers is hitting hard.

Looking like a cash buyer is the only one buying a hi-perf boat until something changes.....

How about a contract manufacturing arrangement ? I have many connections in some very low cost Countries that could build one of these things for..............well............less.

R Addiction 10-19-2008 08:11 AM

While I'm here I have to say it again......



I Love my 25Tantrum. We just winterized her for the 8th time since we bought her home from the warm state. Has lost some power over the years but what do you expect after 426 hours. She will still run mid to upper sixties thru whatever I point her at and still looks pretty damn good!! Thanks Pat for building us a great boat that still turns heads and impresses us everytime we take her out.:cool:
