I have a buddy who has a 1998 25' with a 500hp that Chief Engines did a blower set up on. I think it's around 630HP and runs in the low 80's. He has been talking about selling it. I'm sure he would answer any questions for you also.

i own a 25 with a hp 500 it is a awsome boat. well built
handles great, large cuddy for a 25' boat. mine is a 1998
and it was radared at 79.0 mph. with a 454 mag you should run around 67 mph. i paid 42,000 last year but mine was built for f1 racing it has duel throttles and guages on both sides also has large 30" k planes exterinal hydrualic steering, aluminum pipe
swim plat form. mine is in like new condition on a awsome trailer.
the boat you are looking at should be around
38,000. need any more info call me 570-398-7427 rick.

You are right about that boat being in great shape Rick, the guy that had it before you really took great care of it.

79mph is pretty damn good.....Did you ever have those springs checked? Maybe you can trailer that bad boy down to destin in March???


MARK,

What year is that boat you are looking at? I thought you told me it was a 99 but I forgot?

We have a 25 Tantrum. 502MAG/Bravo 1 = 70.4 on GPS. But then you know what they say, It's not how fast you go , it's how well you go fast. And these boats go fast very well. Unless you don't like to run fast and fly level!!!! If you have any questions Give me a call 610-695-8997. Leave a message.

Dan , It,s a 1997, I think I may have to see if the guy will move on the price?

thunderdan

Mark,

I would. I checked my records and I sold my 25 to Rick for 42k. He got a sweet deal though as I already put the deposit on my 37 and needed to move the boat. That boat had 150 hours or so, big 380 k planes, a nice extended tubular swim platform, external steering etc...

I would try and see if he will move on the price a bit. If not I know that Mike Gordon aka on OSO as "gordo",has the same boat as mine, with freshened 500hp, and is a bit faster for sale as well.

good luck

Dan

As you have already read, the 25 Active Thunder is a great boat that acts like a larger boat in big water, but still a screamer in the calm. I would highly recomend this boat to anyone, but especially to those that tend to run in the ocean or larger waters such as the Great Lakes.
As you also have read, I too have a 25 Thunder that is for sale. I will bring it to the top of the classifieds rather than double post everything, (saves bandwith?).
As with the others, If you have any questions please feel free to call me anytime.
There is a reason why Active Thunder owners are proud of their boats, both old and new.
