i got ya . i was just saying .

I can't wait until Pat turns Active Thunder Boats over to a "Forum Member Owned Company" !!! :drink:

Sell shares like Reggie did, that turned out well :party-smiley-004:

Are any other boat company owners active on the forums?

If I'm not mistaking a 37 AT with the same power will run over 90 . So if that is all true Pat and the guys at AT must be doing something right .

you also have to remember that the 37 has a wide flat pad from the single step to the transom where as a cigarette is a V all the way from bow to stern . the pad give's a flat surface for the boat to run on vs running on a straight V.
look at velocity boats how fast they run with small power but there flat pad is twice as wide maybe more then A.T

37 with 525`s runs 90mph + I can`t wait to witness that for myself.

A 38 TS Top Gun with 525's will run very similar speeds to a 37 AT. The TG is a foot longer and next to no amenities in the cabin.
The dialed in 37 AT's run around 86-88mph. I think a couple have touched 90. The 38 TS Guns run 84-86mph.

It's been discussed before.

Stealin' Thunder ran 90 and change with Herrings. A few others have seen similar. I want to say Frank had the silver/yellow/burgundy one up to 91 at one point.

It's not an everyday speed on every boat, but it can be tuned to do so. Mike's boat should run a consistent 85+ depending on conditions. Pushing 90 with a fully decked out cabin including AC with 525EFI/XRs is nothing to sneeze at.

What's with all the skepticism and drama in this joint lately? Aren't we all in this because we enjoy it?
