Just bought 37 Active Thunder Triple and have some questions (NEWBIE to Forum)
Hey Guys. New to offshore forum and these types of boats in general. I recently purchased a 1998 37' Active Thunder from down near key west. It has (3) 502 Mags which are lower hour and run great (im sure rough on fuel). Kinda bought the boat on a whim for a reasonable price. Boat needs clear coat (and or paint) and interior work. Im a stand up jet ski guy but thought it looked awesome. Just wanted to ask a couple questions
-Are Active Thunder boats a decent boat?
-any "Active thunder" gurus on the forum here? (i have only heard of scarabs fountains, Outerlimits, etc
-Are they still in business?
Thanks a ton guys, excited to join the forum!!!

Congrats on the new ride! Your boat has been talked about on this forum before. I think a few people were interested in it but didn't want to do the paint and interior work. Lets see some new pictures of it!!

Is the reason for the third motor only the power?? Seems like just more weight and maintance. Maybe just cool factor i guess

Oh yes, buying a used boat is always full of surprises. Two years later I'm still finding surprises in mine but it turns out well when you know you've gone through it completely and know it was all done right. I would highly suggest paying a top quality mechanic to go over the engines and drives completely to make sure they address everything. It's amazing how little things can turn in to big money. Best to start out right with some peace of mind.
