"MONSOON" is a coming.........
Just like to introduce ourselves to the Active Thunder family. We’re Todd and Stephanie from Phoenix, Arizona. We recently ordered the new 37AVH. Initially called “Cactus Cooler” we have renamed the boat “MONSOON”. The preliminary designs are now on the LatestNEWZ section of the AT website and we would love your feedback and thoughts. We’re looking forward to bringing such a great product like Active Thunder to the west coast. My wife and I are active members with the Arizona HotBoat Association and look forward to running the new boat in Poker Runs on Havasu and outings to Lake Powell and the Pacific Ocean. The comments in this forum and our trip to the Active Thunder factory during the Miami Boat Show sold us on AT. In fact we haven’t even ridden in a 37 AVH. We only demo’d a 99 Vee when we were there last month, but we know we’ll end up with an incredible boat. Like everyone else we are anxiously waiting the completion of ThunderDans boat to see the new cabin. I know it has been said here before, but I would like to repeat it. Pat and Steve at Active Thunder Boats have been excellent to deal with and would recommend them highly to people considering a new Offshore performance boat. We look forward to meeting some other Active Thunder owners in the near future. If we can make the Thunder Run in the fall, maybe we’ll win something for the furthest traveled. By for now from Phoenix- Home of Year Round boating. It was 85 last Sunday. Awesome.

todd,
what did you think of the 99 vee that you demo'd. my wife and i are heading down next month to the factory and are going to look at both new and hopfully that 99. the new cabins and avh bottom sound alot better but just dont know if we can swing a new one. could go with new 32 but need the space. just was courious to your thoughts on the 99 and the vee hull.

Scott,
We like the ride in the 99. It was our first ever ride in the ocean in a performance boat. So I can't speak of all the technical aspects of the ride. We too considered the 32, but did not want to be upgrading in size again in a couple of years. We out grew our 20', then our 26' in just a couple of years. The new cabin and life time warranty were big factors in our decision. I think the 99 would be a great boat for the price.

thanks for the input,
we have a 32 fountain right now so also dont want to make a lateral move. there is so much good talk about the avh i would hate to get stuck with a vee in a few years as more enter the used market. at needs more people with 37 vee hulls to talk them up. big price difference in the used market with 38 formula step and none step.
who has a 37 vee AT and wants to tell me how awesome it is?
pretty cool graphics by the way
