It ran like 66-68mph with the power in it..

What happened to the guy that was running Active Thunder before the company was purchased. I think he had a unique name like Ziggy or something.

The company was Cannon Powerboats and his name was Ziggy.

I bought the molds from the guy that owned them which was neither Ziggy or Bob Oteringer. Then I changed the name and trademarked it a little over 20 years ago.
