So, I was wondering? This thread is about 31 Thunders where does the extra foot come from on the 32 A.T.s?

I had drinks with Reggie and he told me how to do it.

Now we know why 'Lil' Haughey's favorite boat is a 29 Fountain.

You pay more for a 32 that is 31'6''
You pay less insurance on a 31' that is 31'6'' then a 32 that is 31'6''
Did you get that.
I have a brochure from before ZIggy time that has Active Thunder Thunder Boats on it.
If Bob O had not built the 31 you would not have the 32 today.
The point of Roll Call is to put a light on the original boats the first ones that Bob built.

Ziggy went to cheaper core material on his boats.

Well actually we wouldn't have the 28. The 32s production was stopped in 2002.

And Ziggy didn't cheap out on the one he built me. It was indestructible. He might have switched to Balsa core and I don't remember what Oteringer was using but as long as the transom and stringers were built from plyrot, what's the difference? You don't cut or drill holes in the hull sides or deck below the water line.

I obviously liked my boat or we wouldn't be where we are today, correct?

As far as insurance you would actually pay less for the slower boat and I KNOW the 32 was .2 mph slower.

A bit off subject(31s) But Pat, your 32 is my all time favorite boat and if someday I get crazy enough to restore a boat it WILL be one of your 32s.
Even if it is a few short, it the best all round twin out there!
