Screamin-
I gotta think that if I whipple em, and whipple em good, I will be in the high 90's low 100's. If you look on the AT website, under latest news, you can see my dash layout. http://www.activethunderboats.com/la...newzletter.htm
I even left an empty space under the compass for a boost guage and drive temp guage just in case.

Jassman,

You can jump in on my parade anytime, brother. It is our parade, with topless women and mardi gras beeds, and ........

H20 and TBIKINI, thanks for letting us know your opinions, Right before I ordered my Thunder, I almost purchased a Formula 382, we loved everything about the boat except the small cabin, graphics, and price, but their resale is awesome. I then went back to Sonic which I am very familiar with, just was on one last week, my buddys 42ss, his 42ss to me is built better than his 386, he had a few flaws in his first Sonic, but still was a great boat, his 42 is much better, but damn slow, 72 mph, his 386 was 76 but has a softer reentry like you stated, just slight. We were ready to buy the Sonic, I was not familiar with A.T. at the time. We have owned Formula, Fountain and my last boat was a 96 Powerquest Vyper with 502s, all were good boats with the Formula being the best. I am glad that I did some more reserch, and the only ones I can thank was the OSO board, kind of like how we met you, there is a large vast of knowledge that can be aquired, as well as bullchit, and everyone thinks their boat brand is the best for one reason or another, listen to your heart, I think through your process of elimination you will pick the right boat for you and your family, their are pros and cons to every boat, to me it seems there are more pros with A.T. than any other boat, We too also looked at PP, Outerlimits,Donzi,Pantera, sonic, and found A.T. did everything that my wife wanted especially in the cabin, and took care of my speed needs, and attention to detail that I required, (remember I build upscale housing) so detail has to be meticulas. I know I goof around alot, but on the serious side option for option, price per price,build quality to me The ACTIVE THUNDER is as fricken close as you will get to Outerlimits and saves you 108K, (please take notice I did not swear this whole post) good luck to you and your family whatever decision you make, either way make sure you stay in touch with the OSO family

I must say this, the Active Thunder lovers seem to be the most enthusiastic bunch on this board...and by looking at all your new paint graphics coming out over the next few months, you guys will get ALL the attention...keep it up, it gives us outsiders something to shoot for!

Hey, Screamin, come on over to the wild side, the more the merrier, the bigger the party, It will be an ass kickin summer. What kind of boat you got

Man, I'm shot. 3 hours testing the new 32 Cat we just finished....HP 500 EFIs and all the toys. The sun and water were brutal today. Hard to believe it's Christmas in less than 3 weeks.

H20 and Tbikini, you know how to reach me if you need anything else answered. Good Luck and I wish you much happiness and sucess with whatever boat you purchase.

Well, Pat give us the details on how that bad puss ran.

Another tough day at the office.

nice revision, Dan. I SAW that! lol

You know I have one of those devils on my sholder, kinda like the one in animal house where the girl is passed out on the bed, you remember that scene? But the better angel won out.

So you had a great ride on that bad ass cat. I gotta get a ride in one of those. It really did look good. So, how do YOU spell pheonix?

Man Im shot, 3 hours testing the new Crown Select 11 years aged whiskey in the brutal sun with the 5 models that I have been interviewing for the new Latex Active Thunder ad. Hey Pat what did your putty cat run, I like the Pheonix graphics and the way the hull runs in your video. I see you guys are selling a HTM sr-24, what do you think of that boat given the size and power.
