We'll run with the Baja any day. I am not picky. I like all fast boats! It will be a little different inside the canopy, but at least I will not need sunblock this summer! As far as the speed difference...no big deal. We'll cruise up the coast together and give the beach dwellers a good show!

Hot Duck, Very nice boat, I like your cover, pretty slick Good luck in your racing career

Cigarette with no question!

I had both boats Cigarette & AT! What do I have now "CIGARETTE” they are the best no question.

I personally would not deal with Pat at AT again!

How would you like to drive 1200 miles to pick up your boat and find out when you got there they had a weeks worth of work left.
OH I left out the best part "I called Pat just before I left for the trip and asked if the boat was ready? Yes come and pick it up!"

This is my dealing with Pat - don't make your decision on this - AT is a nice boat but not in the same league as Cigarette!

Whats up with that?

Go to www.activethunderboats.com look at the first boat under construction on page two . Enlarge the pic of the stringer system and look how crooked the center stringer is . It looks like the atlantic ocean during a hurricane . I feel sorry for the guy buying that boat hold on the wheel tight buddy. Cigs blow AT away hands down

From the info I have collected on the Active thunders and from riding on the Cigs, they are both great boats. I would have to favor the cig now, because I have never been on an Active Thunder.

25 Outlaw,

It looks pretty straight to me. Is it possible that it is distorted because of the way you enlarged the picture, or maybe because of the way the picture was taken? Maybe it is my eyes though, I do have a tentancy to get a bit bleary eyed.

UUmmmmm.........Outlaw, the material AT uses in their structural members is called Mantex and is a man-made material(kind of a soft plastic). It is water proof and cannot rot or warp. There is no way the stringer is "crooked". I also stood in that boat about the time that picture was taken and I can tell you if it is crooked enough to see in that little picture, it would have been real noticeable in person-it was not. Add to that the fact that the guys having those boats built are sooooooo anal and seem to spend half their lives down at the AT factory-don't you think someone would have said something by this time?????

OTOH-maybe that's why Dan hasn't got the motors in there yet-they can't get the mounts to line up.....That stuff about the Eickert motors is just a cover up-Yeah, that's the ticket

outlaw,

That is my boat that is being built right now and while I appreciate your genuine concern for my safety, and that you feel sorry for me, I have inpected the stringer system very closely and I can tell you it is not as as crooked as the atlantic ocean during a huricane, actually it is straight. And yes, I have been down to the factory during each critical stage of the process to check things out, and yes insptech is correct I am very anal about my boat. Once it is done, please feel free to come and check it out. I am in Long Beach Island and belong to the NJPPC club and plan on doing the AC Poker Run in June. I see you are from Malvern so we are not that far apart.

Dan, you know I only mean anal in an affectionate way
