Still looking to buy a 25 active thunder
 
Spring is just around the corner fellas. Wondering whats out there for sale, if any. Been searching all winter, very slim pickings. I have to be honest' I'm not all that familiar with these boats. What does one have to spend to get a decent 25 A/T ? The couple of leads that I got guys wanted $30+. Does this sound about right for an 18 - 19 year old boat? Was hoping to spend around $25,000, please let me know if I'm being realistic.

you will be in the 30k range for something nice.

Thanks 93 shooter, that one is mine ! Toyboat991, all I can tell ya is the pre 98's are a lot different than the newer ones as I've owned both. This one won't disappoint if your looking for a clean original 25 A/T.

If anybody is truly interested in a 2018 Tantrum, shoot me and e-mail or give me a call.

R Addiction 03-23-2016 07:36 PM

WHAT!? Bringing back a classic?!

txpilot83 05-30-2016 08:12 PM

I'm sure it'd be out of my price range, but I'd love to see a 2018 Tantrum. Or an older one thats had a factory resto. I saw you posted about 150K for a new savage with a 520, I'm guessing a new tantrum would be in the 130Ks?

JohnAT 06-14-2016 06:07 AM

I just sold my 97' Tantrum, 598 engine, 2 hatches, 2 covers, kept in climate controled shop all its life. Never advertised it, a guy that used to work for me and knew the Boat since New called me about buying it, he came out and bought it on the spot. I got $30,000 for it.

I'll sell you my 1995 for $23,000. Will deliver it to factory. Runs great. Pat can do whatever cosmetic upgrades you want.

txpilot83 06-14-2016 06:51 PM

Man I'd love that. But I need to sell my current boat first to have the cash to buy yours and have it updated. I'm guessing I'd need at least another $20K+ to have AT update the boat, depending on what it needs. Any idea what the overall length is sitting on the trailer? Got any pics you can post? I really like the one in NC that someone on here is trying to sell or may have sold already.

Sounds like a sweet boat. You have any pics you can post? what kind of speed did you see with that 598? That thing must have hauled...

I can't post pics on here, it ran real good low 90's. Was out yesterday with the new owner showing him the ropes, he was impressed.

JohnAT 06-18-2016 06:21 PM

I just hope he takes care of her like my brother and I did.
