any videos of an AT turning/pivoting ?

I would never ever put all that high dollar paint on a boat again either.


I get that... I boat in a chitty little river with bad ramps too. Its a pain getting it off trailer sometimes but once you know all the tricks its no big deal. When I go to the ocean or bay... that's when I would never trade.... it rocks!!! Well worth it!!!

To he honest I just don't like stepped boats. I understand they are faster and more efficient. I have been on quite a few and prefer the feel of a V. I'm pretty sure my next will be stepped and just have to deal with it I guess. Short list is 38 Gun, 36 Glad, 37 AT. Those are the only boats I am interested in unless I go cat. Looks like I'm fωcked any way you look at it haha...

Have pat build you a 37 with no step's " he can due it " and put some ilmor's in it :) or some nice FPT 560 /600 diesel's with surface drive's :)

POWERPLAY J 08-24-2013 08:37 PM

I have eyed up a few straight 37's Mike. Can't afford to go new and would like something from the mid 2000's. Not sure what route I will go. No need for a cabin so a Glad or 35 Motion are the top two pics. Still have a bit before I change it up. I can say I am very impressed with Lazlos 37 so it is a viable option.

abmotorman 08-24-2013 09:05 PM

My list is 37 AT, 37 outerlimits or 43 Black Thunder. Cabin is everything to me. To me a pair of HP 500's is perfect for any of these options. Wait and see....

The bottom is blueprinted and we have her right side up again. We just dropped in the cabin liner for first time fit and 'head-scratching' as to what we are doing at the aft of the liner where it meets the dash bulkhead.

re-tooled the center entry dash as well to accommodate the new, larger GPSs and the vessel view as well as some gauges. All the toggle switches will be up on the verticle panel at the top of the dash and in a more 'waterproof' area form rain and washing.

Are you in a new building? It looks very different in that pic but the one in the Helm shot is the old shop.

If you look at the very top of the picture you will see the 29 Savage plug.

Same building.

BTW Nova looked nice!!!!!

Yup see the plug in the helm shot but not the 1st one. Just looks different. Thanks, Got a way cool 37 Plymouth pick up come'n in soon. Maybe I could get those lesson's on that one :-)

I see you eliminated the foot rest on the drivers side, probably a good idea, didn't work out with the helm placement anyhow.

JUPITER PULSARE 09-17-2013 02:42 PM

The new Mercury Racing 520 might be a good powerplant for the new AT 29!

Gordo 09-25-2013 03:05 PM

I'd like to see it with 800 HP, but am real anxious to see one with a 525 to see how it compares with the competition

That cabin looks so familiar. It's like you squeezed a 37 footer's cabin into a 33 footer. :D

laszlo01 10-05-2013 08:43 AM

Looking good Pat ! What you going to have on display for the Miami boat show ? Looking forward to seeing what you are bringing this year.

FastandFun 10-07-2013 11:42 AM

Pat what would the price range be for one of these 33 with the Mercury 520's

Such depends on what options you want and how wild of a paint job.
AC/Heat?
Fresh Water?
Fridge?
What kind of cabin and cockpit material? *
Stereo mild or ridiculous? *

JUPITER PULSARE 12-03-2013 02:28 PM

Looking great Pat! Glad to see Active Thunder building new boats! Every once in a while I miss the smell of fresh sprayed gel coat and fiberglass dust with my morning coffee!! Have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!! Steve

mobuzz 12-03-2013 06:07 PM

I saw it a couple weeks ago on a surprise visit as well. Thanks for the tour Pat!

Jupiter, I hear you have a new 'neighbor' and fellow power boater with a baby blue 42 Cig with 700s. One of my good friends from SoCal recently relocated to your area in FL.

different "Jupiter" than you were talking to but I have seen the 42X around.........you can count on one hand how many Cigs are around this area and the marina where he keeps it has most of them! :D

mobuzz 12-03-2013 07:43 PM

You are correct, sorry Jup Sun.

If you haven't met him, his name is Kevin. Great guy!

Yeah, I know Jupiter Sunsation also...we cross paths now and then at some of the sandbars...In the past few years there have only been a couple Cigs on boat lifts between Palm Beach Inlet and just north of Jupiter Lighthouse...There was also a pretty bad azz Skater Cat for a while just south of Jupiter and there still is an American Offshore 26..With the overabundance of center consoles in the area, us performance boats stand out like a sore thumb!! With my 28' Checkmate being an outboard powered performance boat I get stares everywhere I go!!! lol

A Skater with 496's??? WTF...It always looked great (just north of PGA on the ICW) but I never saw him run..I haven't seen the 26' American Offshore off the lift in quite a while also....Sometimes I feel I'm the only go fast boat around Jupiter!!
