Pat seems to think so too! Hope he's right! Steve

Do you have any paint renderings yet?

I do, but I'm not showing my hand!

:worthless_without_p

are there pics yet of 509 sc 33 active thunder?

Nothing yet Tony unless you want to see the white gel-kote, Pat's been devoting most of his time to getting the 37' done. Then I'm next on the AT fastrack :drink: Steve

good to hear that your in process, what engines did you decide on ?

Hey Steve, I like the center entry on your boat its going to be nice.. They should be finished with mine this following week. Thanks for being patient and letting them work on mine.

What kind of trailer did you get?

There was a painted aluminum Myco there and it was a very nice trailer. I wish i would of had Myco paint mine...

You can see some pics of his on another thread about the blue and silver 37 for the Miami show. I think I need to have some discussions with this pat fellow. After a ton of research I think active thunder is the boat for me. I love my 89 30' sonic and it is pristine but I know I want something newer. Not trying to steal the thread at all but could someone tell me what a new 33 or 37 roughly cost? Hard to start saving if I don't know my goal. Congrats on the new boat and I can't wait to see it. Did the green one still not sell?

see if there is a bravo x drive up grade for a few grand its worth it on a boats over 5000lbs. congrats steves boat ran super road nice.

Jeff, I had Manning build an aluminum "tandem" for me since we plan on doing some saltwater dipping. After seeing the painted Myco at Active Thunder I decided to go the painted route since aluminum seems to get funky over time. my trailer is done and sitting at Manning. The pictures look good, but I haven't gotten a chance to run over to Michigan to see it yet. I decided to do a tandem vs. a triple due to manuverability. It's still rated at 14,ooo lbs so I should be fine. Please post lots of pictures when your boat is finished, I think Pat is trying to keep these boats a secret so he won't have to work so much :drink: ! Steve

Speaking of working....what exactly is your job because I want it!

Loved my dual axle Myco. You'll be fine with the tandem Manning, also a good trailer.
Steve

Sounds like the man is already planning on Thunder Run 2011.:coolcowboy:

Sorry for being a post whore but we need OCD here to start a count down to the third weekend in January.

I think that's even a stretch for him...

He hasn't even begun the final count down for JOTJ. :lolhit:

Oh it's nothing for him, he's the king of multi-tasking.:evilb:

Do you need my address so you know where to send the check :drink:. I have considered going with XR's but then I'ld want the 525's to go with them! Do I need them, I don't know, would I like them, you bet. At 430 horse a side I don't think the motor will break the drive, now my in-experience at throttling in seas might! Let's hear opinions on this one, I've gotten several already from friends. My other concern with the XR's is the speed loss from the gears, loose 2 MPH and it might put me under 80 :eek: Steve

Steve, got your motors yet?

New progress????

Hey Drew, No power yet, Pat said he talked to the Mercury rep at the show and they're still talking about releasing them in March sometime. I'm going down to see Pat on Wednesday so I hope to learn more. Steve

Now that's funny

Cool, keep on em, spring is coming!

If I read the title post, the response is: OLD.

Steve is spending his birthday here in sunny south Florida going over cabin and cockpit colors with the boss.

Should have some pictures and details soon!

"OLD"... What are you saying... You gotta put steps in so he can get in the boat? Or some kind of lift?... Hope they are as cool as the new dash! Im sure it will be 6 months for the pictures of that!!:party-smiley-004::evilb::evilb::evilb:


Happy Birthday Steve!!:drink::drink::drink:

+1

i heard the boy cry wolf before... :drink:

So when do we get to see the paint rendering..

Paint rendering done yet?

Steve decided to go with all vinyl. :D

this crap drags on so long you get to where you dont even care.. i know i dont... lol

We're not put on this planet for a long time. We're here for a good time.

correct get on with it....:drink:

It's 12 weeks or better to build a boat and allow the customization and changes. Of course there are overlap times that make it possible for us to build 12 boats or better each year.

I'm sure the customer who just built the last 37 will tell you that he made changes up to the very end and is happy with the boat even if we ran over 30 days on our best guess estimate. And that included designing and building an entirely new dash AFTER he ordered the boat.

If you are looking for some type of immediate gratification and pictures of a boat we are building everyday then you are in the wrong place. There is nothing remotely interesting or exciting about installing a holding tank or installing a bilge pump so I waste nobody's time with such pictures. The bling-bling is always at the end.

We only update when we build to keep the cult involved and to bring the new boat owner in to the circle. If the friendships and bonds formed are boring to you I apologize. Loosen up a little and enjoy the experience. It will be a lot more fun!

Enjoy the weekend!

"immediate gratification" ??? nothing to do with friendships and bonds... as a matter of fact i did start a thread "thanking you" for the pic you do show...im just spoiled around here i guess...:drink:

Understood. I musta read it the wrong way.

I'm not saying a thing till after Pat gets his Easter basket and he gets that "Happy" sugar buzz :bigbird:! Have a great weekend everyone! Steve

Pat, this is one of the most interesting and telling posts I've seen from you. Was this after a ML or two? :evilb:

So true, cause I've been there and done that...

Welcome to the cult! :coolcowboy:

Did the engines show up yet?

I think they said they were one of the first in line for the new 502's in early June.
