New owners, last 24 months
 

Ok, since our forum is dead with you 'old' owners let's see who is a new member to the cult!

Who bought an AT in the last 24 months? I know all the new ones but pre-owned?

What have you owned and what made you do it?

All new cult members/ posters have 2 AT Thunderwear t-shirts and all weekend passes to the 2015 Miami Boat Show next month on AT.

Let's see your boats!!!!!

Ok I will go first I bought a 1997 25ft Tantrum, 7/30/2013, have always loved the looks and just sold a 2001 Velocity 260 so it just seemed to fall in place. Before the Velocity I owned a 1999 27ft Advantage. I love the Thunder and how solid rides. Can't seem to post pics but could email to someone that can. This is a great forum and community thanks or all the help and support on the questions I ask.

Nice!. Mail them to me and I will post. sales @ activethunderboat.com

pics sent

Sweet! Flight book, maybe the weather will allow me to get down in time to actually make the show this year :) You got my address to send the tix. :)
You already got pix,
but i'll answer the
"What have you owned and what made you do?" Previous boats, Taylor Jet, Ultra Shadow, DCB-F30 (still own)....and why? Wanted something to give me option to go from lake, bay, to ocean -SAFELY and without falling apart-- with the ability to overnight in and keep the wife happy while doing it.

Purchased the Tantrum in 2008 and simply loved it. The boat went everywhere I did. Loved it so much I purchased a Savage from a fellow OSO member. Still have the Tantrum and anticipating the day to put the Savage in the water. I hope to have the same love for both. The next step years down the line is a 33 or 37. There will never be any reason to switch brands. Active Thunder is "Exactly Like Nothing Else"!!!

Well, I bought my boat over 24 months does that make me an "old owner", I don't know. I do know an Active Thunder is the BEST bang for your buck! I have a 97 Tantrum carbed 454 mag, best #'s I've seen is 68 mph (gps) 1/2 tank 2ppl in fresh water. I feel I hit a home run and I'll be hard pressed to sell it. Well, until I can find a 33'. Ideally, I'd love a 33' with 700/nxt's (which to my knowledge has never been built, yet!)

Pat, I know I don't meet your requirements for Miami boat show tickets and thats fine, although I'd love to go for one of those famous "pat rides" I've heard so much about. But really, at least I hope after the show is completely over is to stop by the factory to see where all the magic happens.

Thanks,
RJ

Ok, you kinda qualify. Brand loyalty works and if you own 2, well.....You are kinda like a mormon!

You're in. 2 shirts and tickets.e-mail me your address and shirt sizes! How many tickets?

Miller lites or the beer of your choice at the factory weekdays at 5:00 pm! :drink:

You have to live up there! If it snows you in again we are good a month later for a run! I am ready. Not been boating since KW.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]535716[/ATTACH]Scott, got it. Nice! Where do you boat in NC?

The Savage was within the last two months. That has to be worth a few t-shirts. Brand loyalty...Always!

PM sent (two tickets please)

I live on High Rock lake, boat there and Lake Norman, Intercoastal occasionnaly. The Boat came from California/Arizona. Really excited about trying to make the boat show and t-shirts

Purchased my second Active Thunder around May of 2013. Tantrum is just about perfect boat for me to use on Lake Erie and a lil inland lake closer to my home, trailers easy, handles the Erie slop, great speed and super solid ! Super excited for some Thunder Wear !!

I was trying:D:D

I bought my first Thunder 3 years ago. A 25 Tantrum with a 509. Liked it so much I sold it 6 months later and bought a 01 Savage with a 500efi. Sold it about 6 months ago and hopefully I'll be a 3rd owner and be moving up to a 37 in the very near future. LOVE the boats.

Emailed pics

bought my first AT two years ago from Drock78 . the 25 with the 509 . had to cut the floor out to replace the leaking tank after my 1st trip out with out . 3 days after completing that project i blew the 509 , spent the next few months and several $ rebuilding it to a 513 . used it many times last year and had a blast with it . sold it september and I am hoping in the next year to get a 32 . my buddy gmchevytech liked it so much hes wanting to upgrade from his baja to a 28 .

I painted that boat if I am not mistaken!

So you bought an AT 2 years ago but have no AT now?

That would be correct . Please don't shun me . Really hoping to have a 32 by the end of summer . no later than next spring .

I can't post pictures. Help

Im really hoping that we both have better luck with our next ones Steve!

I bought my 2003 37 AT back in March 2013 and I absolutely love it!!! Stepped up from a 28 velocity

Been boating for 3 years. First boat was a 34 PowerQuest Vyper with 496 HOs. Bought an 09 37 AT last March with 525s. What made me do it was that I was looking for better handling and better rough water ride quality. I have a 4 year old daughter and wife so the amenities were pretty important to them....the head is fantastic, air conditioning is a relief, and the fridge when on all weekend is a plus.

So anyone else going to the show looks like we will be leaving Thursday, would love to meet up with some of you guys

I'm headed down Thur-Sun.

The wife and I will be down there Friday 13th till Thursday 19th.

I guess 816 weeks is too much huh?:)

Oh yea...and 4 days!

Staying at a place on Collins Ave near convention center is this an ok area

Just carry your gun. You will be fine. (kidding)

hi TREX, I know your boat and have rode in it many times. What did you put in it for power?

I put a stock 454 magnum in it for last summer, and now I am building a new motor with goodies

Ha Ha Pat thanks for everything, It was great meeting you and your family we had a great trip and just got back. We ended up staying on Ocean dr. Wow!!!! It sure wasn't North Carolina. Thanks again Scott

Great, nice tyo see it back out on the water

Hey guys, bought my 98 tantrum from a guy on here that lived near me in July of 2014. All started with buying his truck. LOVE this boat. Had a 468 in it with about 600hp. Pulled the motor over the winter and did the top end and put a bds 8-71 on it. Still need the right prop tho but has hit 80mph. Hopefully will touch 90 going from a 22p to a 26 or 28. I would post some pics but don't know how. Am I too late for an active thunder Tshirt????

Just noticed your profile. I don't remember reading any posts. What 37 did you get????

I bought FAST FORWARD.
