Yes, they missed another delivery date. What a surprise. Its just like you said. Its been 2 months since they had the damn boat. The messed up the paint again. As you said , if there mouths are movin there lying. I'm disgusted. I dont care if the #@!!*&# boat ever comes back. What a great weekend it was here. Im looking at a Active Thunder right now. Comparing it to a 35 Twin Step that I can buy right. I can get a demo boat for the Run this weekend in Miami. At least they offered my dealer and Fountain won't say sqwat.

AV, I think your right. I've sent emails to them with no answer back. Almost like fountain. The diff is AThunderowners actually love there boats and do not have stories like mine.

Full throttle, sorry to hear about your problems. I think that all brands have their problems. I have owned 3 Fountains, and would buy a 4th. How many AT owners have had 3 ??

I for one have owned 3 Active Thunders.And have a fourth on order.I have been very happy with all 3.And the only problem I had was an engine hatch ram went bad.Active Thunder overnighted me a new one that day.So my experience has been very good.I also know other people who have owned multiple Active Thunders with the same experience.

I had two AT - 25 & 28. I had no problems with the 25 but the 28 AT is another story. Let's talk about AT customer service. I bought the 25AT from a dealer who no longer wishes to carry AT. The 28 AT I ordered from the factory. I was told by Pat that the boat was finished and to come down to the factory (which was a 1200 mile trip) and pick up the boat. When I got there it was not complete (I had to stay for a week). When I got the boat it had problems.
The hull had spider cracks all over one side + the fit & finish was not great + other things. One out of two wasn't bad!

I have a cigarette now!

I wish I had 300K to buy the new Fountain 38 EC.
