No worries. The hannibal building is for rent, but I'm sure that for the right price, you could buy that as well.

What happen to Bob Jenkins, I met him at the Ft. Lauderdale show a few yrs back and I thought he was the owner of BT and he was not an old guy either....

Just time for him to retire and enjoy doing nothing, he has produced a boat that no other manufacture has brought to the performance boating world. I think that someone with ambition and drive could make a go of this and bring Black Thunder back.

With what? Some old supplies? Need all new molds and basically a complete infrastructure

There is nothing wrong with the current 2007+ 46 mold, your prob just pissed you can't afford one! The rest of your statement is pretty true. Black Thunder does produce a unique boat that absolutely no one else has. Could they expand their line....yeah.

Lol. Ok. I wouldn't want one. Just not nice looking imo. That's all

You're also paying for the name. What's that worth? IDK.

Thats cool. Just had to give you a hard time! Unless you have been in a 2007 or newer 46 with the extended cockpit then its hard to appreciate. IMO the Black Thunder is best suited for the michigan type of boater. Up here we all sleep on our boats all weekend. Its hot during the day and cool at night. Very comfortable weather. Where the black thunder is most popular is LOTO but everyone has a condo there so why would you need a floating condo also! What also sucks for Black Thunder is everyone who is in love with them can not afford them. Everyone who would actually use it exactly how its intended can not afford one. And the people with money who can afford one have so much money they either buy a larger yacht, or a really fast go fast, or both!
