“Black Thunder ceased production voluntarily as it didn’t envision boats that cost between $500,000 and $700,000 being big sellers—and they were right,”

I think they were wrong, that was the market that was NOT affected! The smart move would have been to start selling big power #6 boats and raise the price to $1 mil!

That was the plan, but unfortunately, the economy had already done its damage and building boats had to be put on hold while Black Thunder undertook some other projects to help keep a few of their longstanding employees working.

Here is some on board footage from our run this year.

We ended up taking top gun manufacturer vee at 128mph, but we unfortunately ran into some engine problems and the motors were not making anywhere near full power.
