Anyone know how many of the 29 deviants were built? I’ve been looking for one that is for sale but I am finding zero that are available... if anyone knows anyone that purchased one and may be selling please let me know!
ive looked at a few offshore boats but the normal cockpit size is just not going to work with the family. So I’m looking for a 29 defiant for sale.. the other open bow options that have the mid cabin are not really ideal.

I think the boat that got damaged was the larger 33, but I could be wrong...
Don't forget the original 29’ in shades of pale blue. Twin 300 Verados, always liked that boat.

EDIT: OP, not sure if it’s an auto spell or sarcasm but “deviant” in your first paragraph instead of “defiant”, I like it.

29 Defiant not a 33. 23 year old Dummy driving drunk at 0130 hit the breakwater at Sodus Point, NY. There’s a whole thread and news video in the general boating under nothing to see here, girls, move on...

So I guess it’s safe to assume not many were made and it will be pretty difficult to find one used..
I reached out to active thunder but never heard back.. are they still in business?

You may want to try reaching out to Grand Sport Center, IL who are authorized dealers. I was lucky enough to visit AT when they were rigging the first 29 Savage (light blue). Quality of build and attention to detail are over the top and the price was right for the demo boat but at the time I was also looking for a bow rider or center console and Pat rolled his eyes at making a bow rider so I went with a Renegade CC. The 29 Defiant is named that because Pat did not want to make bowrider. I think the aft layout of 29 boat with green trim was ridiculous and total waste of space but a Defiant with the same layout as the Savage with four bolsters, rear bench and the open bow was the ticket. AT as a company was for sale, not sure if that is still the case. Good luck in your search.
