It has started.
 

Waxing the hull mold today for the first 29 DDC single step Active Thunder for lay-up next week.

New deck with a full 12"s bigger in the cockpit.

No fanfare just a bad-azz running offshore machine like the rest of our boats.

Simply a boat which I am building for my daughter so she can learn the sport and enjoy the AT experience.

Now I need a name.

The 28 is the Savage. What should the 29 be called?

Kudos to you!!! Not sure on a cool name but its awesome what your up to.

Very interested to see how this one comes out. What power is going in the first one...525?

I'll think of some cool names this week.

Since the 28 is a Savage ( enraged or furiously angry )

It would be fitting for the 29 to be a Tyrant ( a ruler who exercises absolute power ... ) Perfect for a girl boat...

Cool Boat Name Tyrant Thunder !

Just my first thought. Good luck with the boat and looking forward to see the pics.

Do you see any cc's in the future? Good luck with the new boat.

Simple, name it after your daughter.

29 " Rebel " 29 " Judge " Good job Pat! I'm doing the same thing but it's for me.

Many of you will like the power choice on this one as well. It's another departure. Stay tuned!

Ilmor 710 ? :evilb:

It seems you're going for a good all-around boat.
I initially thought of the "AT Experience", since you already mentioned it.

Something a little less warrior, since you are building it with her in mind, but not feminine, since you'd like to attract a broader audience.

Just throwing generic names out
How about Pompano?


AT Gulfstream
Voyager
Cruiser
Blue Water
Rough Rider
Runner
Finesse
Leopard
Explorer
Blue Water


Just searching for a name that doesn't evoke raping and pillaging and pirates ;)

SIREN. from the Greek mythology. dangerous mermaid like creatures, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. I do like Tyrant too.

What about "Delinquent". I like Tyrant also.

Can't wait to see it Pat. I also like Tyrant.

I'm thinking AT 29 Appetizer. Second choice: Gateway Drug

Is this a brand new mold?

I think I have to go with Tyrant too... Goes well with the theme of the single engine Thunders. (Iknow, there were a couple Savages with twins)

Then they evolve into big twins before going excessive!! :evilb:

I guess its time to pit the captain away!! :lolhit:

29 Strider

The new 29 Active Thunder Hurricane. Moto: The brand new 29 Hurricane rippin up the waters in Miami.

Is the motor Ilmor or a GM LS version ?

Also the 29 Active Thunder Stryker

a few mythical creatures that the names sound fitting... Banshee, phoenix, fury, sphynx, wyvern, and I too like tyrant

Banshee was used on the short lived 22.

How about Rage...

Great suggestion !!

Love Tyrant.. Still thinking up some other names and will post.. I am hoping there is an option for twins!

Perfect for a girl boat??? That stung. :drink:

As long as they are cute.:eek:

Sweet another bad azz active thunder.......Should be a popular size and a big hit.:evilb:

Good luck w/ the new model Pat!!!!:coolcowboy:

Nice. What names has your daughter come up with Pat?

This is fun. Here are some I came up with - some good, some bad and some ridiculous...

Recon
Jester
Vicious
Felon
Fury
Turbulance
Wrath
Commander
Prevailer
Immortilizer
Sultan
Tycoon
General
Honcho
Controller
Forerunner
Pacesetter
Pioneer
Conquerer
Agitator
Chieftain
Top Dog
Panty Dropper

Had to say "Chief" didn't ya? :D :drink:

Cool !

Good Luck with the new boat Pat!

"The Trader" :drink:

actually that would be comical.

Yah, whoops!

The Active Thunder 29 Chief. Hmmmm. Somebody call Bobby.

Audacious

How fitting that you would come up with that.

The problem with Tyrant is they don't last long so I don't think that is a good name for a boat. Boats break enough without giving them a bad name.

great name ideas but engine
 

knowing how much I like the twin set up in my boat, how about a couple 6.2 liters. Plus, as a father of a daughter also, there is a little extra security on big waters.

Damn winter sucks, might have to bring back to Florida for spring break.

I like Tyrant or Agitator.
Is it going to have a bolt on platform or molded?
Sliding cabin door?

mmmm......why do I get the feeling this may be a twin eggbeater boat with a larger cockpit and a bracket for the motors........as far as the name.....there once was the 32' Active Cat...so why not the 29' Active Pat!!!!

Congrats, cant wait to see it. Like tyrant & huricane so far.

Rage would be good, but nordic already has it with their 25

Some egg beaters would look sweet hangin off the back for me!

Starting base price?

Yeah, and if you remember the slogan in our ads was:

"If you aren't driving an Active Cat you are driving a p u ssy cat"

Powerboat called me and asked if I thought it was appropriate.

I said yes.

Mark, you know better! :drink:

Molded as in Sonic, Fountain, Nortech, Outerlimits, Sunsation...... blah-blah blah.?

It's 29. You get 29 feet worth of boat. We probably should call it the 31, or 32, maybe 33 if we were Pinocchio. You lie and your nose grows.

Slider, standard.
