Default 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?

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.

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

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
