Any Black Thunders for sale?
Looking for a 43 Black Thunder I can restore and make my own. Subsequently, faded paint, worn interior, faded gauges, are all pluses. NO WATER issues though. Preferably, step version. Trades possible. If anyone has any leads let me know.

Here's a buddies boat. It's listed on a brokers site but as a favor since they are childhood friends. I can put you in touch with the owner direct if you need more info. Not really a project but some updating and engine refresh are on the horizon.......awesome trailer under it too.

Close, but I was thinking something closer to this in the link. Unfortunately, this isn't a step boat. As ridiculous as it looks (especially a 24K rated trailer), it's actually a low hour 500HP's boat that has a ton of potential. With an upper half rebuild, Mitch T paint job, new gauges and interior, one could have exactly what they want.

Looking at the step on these, does warrant the question of how much it really does? Especially at lower speeds like 45 55 and 65mph. When does this step make a difference?

non step 62 mph max, on a good day. That's with going with current and wind helping. Probably more like 58 mph.
