Tantrum Stuff
 

Ok, since the weather stinks here I figure its time to search for a few mysteries I am curious about. First off, anyone got any ideas what "Font" is used on my Thunder on the side and top ? Also, does anyone else have their interior with "Thunder Racing" as mine? Lastly, does anyone have a cabin setup with the sink and lil couch and big V like this one ?[IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps81cf4ba1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps4d1a714c.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps2167074b.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps2f631e9e.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps2e13daf3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps4f75a214.jpg[/IMG]

mine is nothing like that . i want some of those flip up screens . 1 thing im curious about on my tantrum . what are the 4 switches under the bench ?

4 Switches are circuit breakers for the large electrical components; i.e. starter, drive and tab trim.

There have been a few different cabin configurations over the years pending original owner options and intended use. That's why AT is a CUSTOM builder; exactly like nothing else.

I have no idea on the font, Pat may know.

Pat had a large stash of the wind deflectors left, but he sold them to the person who use to do his powdercoating. He may still have access to them, but I am not sure. They pop up in the swap shop here on OSO from time to time. Many Cigarette owners take them off when they go to a solid windscreen. There are several sizes out there; so make sure you measure what area you are trying to install them on/in.

O like the sink. I'm curious about the font too, my buddy blew off the one on the port side with the powerwasher..errrrr. My couches are much longer and say THUNDER BOATS on everything,everywhere....And everyone still asks what kind of boat is that?

Yep the long couches were in my first Tantrum.

If you take a piece of paper and pencil and shade over the thunder decal a good vinyl guy with a laser cutter should be able to duplicate it.

Is the v berth longer on the one with short couches? Where did this boat come from? Maryland?

R Addiction! Your sig pic is the back ground on my phone! Hilarious!

Well Hell! That picture gets around! Where do you boat in Md.? I have yet to be out on my AT this season......just got in from the garage, the wife helped me drop in the new engine. Hope to get out in a week or so.

That looks way to clean! When are u going to get that boat wet? :whistle:

Got it running saturday ....needs injectors, have a couple that are stuck, dirty, fuked up! but it does look goood! Come on Young!! 4 posts in 4 years!!! Did you get my text the other day?

I got three of those wind flaps off my 30' Cigarette Mystique, I repainted them yellow and never used them don't need them, built a wind screen instead...

Humm, where did the dang summer go ugh. Well I'm curious if anyone has any decent ideas what the swim platform/transom can safely support ? What I am curious about is if I could safely put a decent jet ski on it when towing, any ideas ? I know the safest choice is probably put it in the bed of the truck but not sure how I would get it out at the lake once there and even then I could only haul the 1 and was hoping to take 2 if my Cumberland Poker Run trip works out. If anyone got any other ideas how to get skis and a boat someplace at the same time I'd be interested to hear as maybe I'm overlooking the easy/best option ?

No, do not put a jet-ski on the swim platform. (I assume you are talking about a stand-up.) Even if it could support it statically; the additional down-force of the trailer bouncing down the highway would cause the most damage and by no means worth the risk.

Best solution would be to rent an SUV and tow them down, or even throw one in the back of the SUV if you only have a single trailer. Some folks have scooter mounts on the front of their trailers, and you could potentially do the same with a couple of stand-ups provided the trailer could handle it the weight; and your tow vehicle the additional tongue weight. Several trailer manufacturers will build combo trailers.

Dont do it! One ski, put in bed of truck you can have a rack made that bolts to truck frame and slides out so youi dont have to go as deep. Down side is your limited to one ski. I would build a rack off the front of the trailer over the bow of the boat. With boat off the trailer, the rack would pivot down/back after pulling safety pins and with help of a winch mounted to front of trailer. I have seen sand rails, quads and skis carried this way. Hope this helps. Jaime

Yep thats bout what I figured and actually I wasn't the originator of the idea it was mentioned to me and I thought humm, might as well ask. Thanks for the info, I do like the modified trailers but not worth the hassle let alone the expense. I have 2 tow vehicles so easier and safer to take them separately just thought maybe someone had a good brainstorming session had a super idea. Dang physics always gets in the way LOL !
