Who has the old 25' Active Thunder Racing?
 
1998 25' Active Thunder

There have been a couple of them. Gordo here on the board has the one with the most races probably.

If you are interested in racing a single engine AT, we would entertain popping a new 28 hull for you. DDC maybe? Who knows.

I think T bostick has one, very similar to mine but his stitching says "Racing" , has co-pilot guages and came with a HP500. He is up on lake Erie.

These are pics of his boat. Mine was Chaos by the way, lower pic with a color change, orange.

Just curious where it ended up. We raced it in US Offshore in 1998 & 1999 as Active Thunder Racing F1-36. Has red & grey trim, no cupholders, Throttleman setup on port side.

Currently racing 26' Joker in OPA class 6.

I was reading this and thinking, "Smith Brothers raced it originaly", then I realized it's you looking for your old boat.
Did you find it?

We had you, Neville and the Smith Brothers.

I have a picture of it still in the office. Does that count?

We have picture in our office too. Was curious because an AT owner contacted my crew chief about engine work on his AT from Maryland. He said he bought it around 2000. That is when & where we sold it to finance new business. Thought it funny after all this time it might be our old boat & by coincidence he called our crew chief to work on his motor. (Crew chief works at an auto repair shop in PA, not a boat yard).

Here Is My Old 25 That Was The Smith Brothers Race Boat.

R Addiction 11-29-2011 08:00 PM

The Smith Bros. allowed my wife and I to look at thier boat back in 1999 on a cold rainy miserable day. Its why we had ours built in 1999 and still own it today.

That's it. Was a great boat. We hated to let her go.

I sold it to a freind of mine just 3 miles away fom me when i bought my 32 A/T. He is a nut when it comes to perfection and it has all new interior, had the hull bluprinted, took off the extension box, it will run 75 on gps on our flat river at 700' above sea level so not to shabby. It is now 1 of 4 active thunders in my town because of me. :drink::evilb:
