Donna is correct, we do have a place in Port Sanilac. The boat will be returning there this weekend after spending the winter in Florida. If you're going to be up that way please PM me. By the way Donna, I think we've decided to keep the boat. We ran down to Key West last week, and had WAY too much fun to let her go.

Re: MI Black Thunders

Tim that is good news, I hope your wife's back is doing better.
Are you still doing the Boyne Thuder run? We have a poker run planned every other weekend in July so I am having trouble talking Mr P into that one. Perhaps if we were able to bum a ride on another boat I could talk him into being a passenger for a change. See ya Donna

They started out as 800sc's and have twin dominator carbs,his main complaint was he had to shift it in and out of gear constantly to keep it idling at no wake speed which made it difficult to control.I showed the guy my fuel injected blown 540 in my boat,he couldn't believe it could idle at 675 in gear and still put out 750 hp! He said the next time his motors were freshened he was taming them down. I am absolutley impressed with the BT 43's and 46's!!!!
Last summer we boated in all the lakes around boyne(lk charlevoix,lk michigan,torch lk,Elk rapids,grand traverse,suttons bay etc)-Absoloutly a beautiful,scenic area!!

The boats name is insatiable. This guy does own an excavating company. He actually does know quite a bit about motors. Both of the motors are supercharged, and with different props he can hit 98 mph.

Ms PatriYacht,
Welcome to the Black Thunder Family. Black Thunder is putting together the annual Miami to Key West Poker run in Nov. I received my invite. If your interested you should call Black Thunder and let them know your a new owner and get the details

In your question about Indian River I'm the one with the black
thunder upnorth next to Howe marine. It's a 96 XT430. I boat more on Lake St. Clair then Burt lake now that my x-wife has the house up there, but we are still good friends I show up there at least twice a year. I am a contractor in New Hudson. See you on the lake
Dennis

Just picked ours up this past week. We boat up at Winthrop Harbor.

Always liked seeing your boat and talking to you,maybe we'll see you on lk st clair this year but we usually take off from port huron and run the length of the river down and back with a lunch stop on the shore were you can watch the freighters go by and see the tall buildings in detroit,Smitty
