Actually, Mercury does now too, due to all their sales because of lack of Yammies. A friend just purchased a new pontoon and had to drive and additional couple hours to a dealer that had a motor that he wanted. He ended up with a 115HP Merc, but would have had to wait indefinately for a 150HP. Between 115HP and 225HP Mercury OBs are hard to come by as that is their most popular range of motors.

Here's the start of what she will look like.

And, yes, it's a light pearl grey. And, yes, it has round deck hatches.

We have entered a new arena and look forward to the end result.

Looking good Pat ! My vote is a big set of Tripples on that bad boy. Cant wait to see it run, keep up the good work. Laszlo

There's no Mercury Outboard supply issue with the larger size engines, that Pat would consider for powering the boat in question. This was last week, and things change daily, so he needs to call Merc when he's actually ready to buy.

The owner of this boat chose the engines for this boat; and they are already delivered and being prepped for this boat.

That said, Active Thunder is willing to consider any engine package that the next owner would like.

We have a "CanDo" attitude about building boats.

Hey Pat, here's Checkmate's newest outboard powered 28' Sportboat. I think you're on the right track building an outboard powered Active Thunder!!

Agreed. Funny though about the 300 XS comments. I like the Verados.

So, any updates of these eggbeater boats?

Some new pics to drool over would brighten my day:drink:
