Yep thats it. John in woodbridge was the previous owner. It handles great, I did some minor stuff to it. Only major problem was a dented oil pan that has some rust so I had my guy pull the motor and replace the pan. some wiring upgrades as well, battery switches, now have two as it should be... Just curious, when you looked at it, what made you not buy it?...Rob

I had arranged with John for me to see his boat last December (2003). We were all set for me to drive down from Michigan and then Virginia got hit with a huge snow storm. John couldn't wait any longer to winterize and we just never got back together in the spring. Do you know if he got the Black Thunder he was looking at?

I dont think he did, unfortunatly his marriage was heading south, So he did the smart thing and liquidated and will get back in later. He has great freinds with boats to use.Last I heard from him, his new business was doing great, he will be back out in time though. I love this boat just have 10ft-itis, I may be heading to FLA in the next couple weeks to check one out.
