<GASP!> NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

One of the hottest single engine V's on the water and it's a fishin boat ???
I think I need a moment...
The 22' went fishing years ago!

<sniff sniff> But, But, the 25???
The 25 Thunder was never intended to chase fish.
The 25 Active Thunder was a Legend!
It was a Velocity-spanker !!!
A Fountain killer!!!
A Checkmate-smacker!
A Formula-whupper!

(Whupper? forget it. He's on a roll...)

Mike, sorry buddy. The molds were pretty tired.

Kinda like a race horse being retired to a carnival giving pony-rides, isn't it?

What exactly does it mean when you say the mold got "tired?" Do molds lose their shape/rigidity over time?

They get worn out. You can only pull so many hulls from one mold.

The tooling gel goes to **** over the course of time. Those molds were made in 1990.

Another reason to keep my "collectors item". Not another 25ft boat I'd rather be on.:cool:

..............YEAH, but..............new molds could be pulled from an existing hull to keep such a loved little offshore performer alive....with the state of the economy, wouldn't building more affordable single engine boats be a viable option??? They could even run with brackets and egg beaters. I'm sure there are alot of people out there that would love to own a 33 or 37 but just can't afford one (or the gas for that matter). But then again, Pat, what do I know??? I'm still in this stinking car business!!!!

R Addiction 10-04-2008 06:47 PM
Well said Steve. I'd love to be able to go out and buy a new 28 or a 32 straight "V":cool:. Not that I don't love the 33's and 37's its just not in the $$ cards for me right now.:p
