Hey Pat, if I come up with a new ad for PB can I trade 2 small prizes in on one big one??? I know you and Steve said you really want to build the bigger boats-so I'm willing to take a 37-new or old cabin(I'm not choosy )

Ted

We're leaving for Pompano Beach tomorrow and staying for a week.
We plan on going to AT on Thursday!
Maybe another convert in the making?
Keep you posted!
Jim

That's the way to approach this guys. Keep visiting Pat and Steve.

Dan, how long 'til I can get behind the wheel of your machine??? You know the best boat you can get; someone else's Active Thunder!!!

H2O, it's only in the top 10, but you only saw 3 manufacturers. That doesn't seem like good odds but we're all anxious to hear from you!

P.S. H2O, all our comments were meant to be in jest. I hope you took them that way.

Jafo,

What boats are you looking at besides the Thunder? Once you do drive a Thunder you will never go back to anything else. What size baot are you looking at. Are you posting so we will leave h2o alone?

Miller,
Should be done by late February/early March. Looks like it will be a long Jan and February. Should be splashing her the weekend we get back from Fla picking her up. You may need to bring your ski mask and jacket, but a ride is a ride.

thunderdan-
We presently own a Formula 242LS with twin small-blocks and factory McCleod interior. Nice boat but want something bigger for Lake Michigan!
Boats in the running? 28-32' Possibles are Cigarette Bullet, Formula 336, Hustler 32 and the AT28. Any bigger and I'll be building a new shop!
I like the looks of that '99 AT28 they have with the twin 350 Mags!
BTW, not looking to take anything away from h20, just looking for your input!
Jim

jafo,

The 28 they have there is a really nice looking boat. It really makes the 25 look small for some reason, it looks much bigger than than 3 feet.

You should also check out the 32 AT if you are looking at other 32's. Both of these boats can handle some really rough conditions. Have a good time in Fla, tell Steve and Pat you are there on a dual mission, to check out the 32 and the 28, as well as checking up on the progress of mine. Let em know I have people all over the place.

thunderdan-
The 32AT might be a little out of our price range- the other larger boats I listed are a little older, early to mid 1990's.
My Formula has made me slightly partial to small-block power. I like the efficiency of them. I guess I'm just a little different?
Steve told me yesterday we can always procharge or Whipple 'em! Todd and Tracy ran with Pat and his wife to Key Largo- they said the 28 did quite well!
I'll check in on your boat for you- can't wait to get there. Todd said they'd take good care of us as well!
Got to love this OSO (and AT) family!

Jafo,
The 28 is a sweet looking boat. Those small blocks on that 28 will push that baby into the 70's with efficency. You are right the OSO family is pretty cool and the Thunder family is a pretty tight knit one. We all like to have a good time. We always have room for more.

You are right, Pat and Steve will take great care of you. Have a good time.
