I've always like the cabins in the Formula 38. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Although if cabin is more important than helm, go with the 38 ZX.

Cabin and cockpit on 43 Black Thunder.Half of budget.

Love the cabin on the PowerQuest 380. Spent many nights on Lake Cumberland in comfort and can also take the hard stuff on Lake Michigan. Runs in the mid 80's with 525's. Awesome boat!!!

Sweet boat and the 400SS needs to go so I can go shopping.... :evilb: If Formula would put those Twin 480hp Yanmars like I had in my last 43 Nortech that would be sweet. You would get that 400ss probably into the high 60's maybe 70 and then it would be more fun. I personally like the 400ss for its room and functionality. Ive also had a chance to be on my buddys 48 Fountain cruiser in KW this year, thats one big bad boy.:D |

I've said this before, I LOVE MY BOAT when I'm rafted and overnighting I dont like the speed thats it.... Cruising at 37 and Top speed is low 50's which is great for a cruiser I thought I could deal with it but obviously I need a different boat...:D:D This thread is actually alot of what I'm looking for, I want to do some Poker Runs, Overnighting is a must, and I'm 6'-6" so the cabin will need to be good size in the new boat, as where the size of my 400SS is perfect. If it sells it sells if not it will be cleaned, waxed and ready to go on April 1 on the lift!!!!!!!!!:evilb::evilb: |
I know Sydwayz has chimed in multiple times. . . . :)
You really should look at an Active Thunder. It meets your criteria - speed, price etc. Their cabins are quite nice. My buddy Macklin bought an AT last May. The cabin is stunning! The boat will run over 80 w/ 525's! Formula's are nice too. |

Pics of the 2008 37 Active Thunder Tommy Bahama cabin and the whole boat are below. Loaded, Air Conditioning, Stand-up head/shower, 90 mph with a LIFETIME hull warranty and 5 years of Mercury Warranty = not a bad package.

Jeff, VERY NICE RIDE!!!!
It's been awhile, you are on your 3rd 43' WOW!!! I have to agree, the 43' NorTech has a killer cabin, just a tad bit shy of the 50'. We have been on both the 43' and the 50', lots of room and first class!!! Trond & the boys at NorTech are the best!!!! Originally Posted by Jassman This is my 43 Nortech. The same can be done on a 39 Nortech as well. You pick everything, from materials to the stitching if so desired. The headroom is 6'7" at the tallest point in the cabin or 6'1" at the sink/fridge/micro area. The head is a true walk in head with 6'7" headroom, no step ups for easy entry. Ive had many boats over the years (34-PQ, 38 Cig TG, 42 Sonic, 37 A.T. and this is my 3rd 43 Nortech) and do over night, and Nortech has the plushest cabin and cockpit of them all. Also, like some of the other threads Ive been read where when running hard all the ammenities fall down or apart, totally not true. Never had a problem, extremely solid powerboat, not only for going fast but comfortable as well. Good Luck in your decision. Jeff First class blue water boat!!!!!

here's another point..check out the headliner, not glued to the underside of the fiberglass deck. Headliner material is suspended on rails to give a nice tight finish. Check the stitching out, I purposely went with a contrasting blue stitch so you can see how straight and precise the workmanship is. Jeff

Need more info as far as cabin options...I would think headroom would be a main concern. 38 ft 380 Powerquest "Avenger" has 5'9" headroom in a spacious cabin with alot of amenities
Also whether they want to trailer or not. The best spacious cabin is a Black thunder CORRECTION: Headroom 5' 7" (67") |

Here are the pics of the cabin of my 37 AT. They are all custom and well appointed. If you want headroom, the 39 and 43 Nortech are the best in class, foot for foot.
|
The Black Thunder Sport Crusier has 6'10" of head room at the cabin entrance and 6' at the foot of the queen size bed.

How about this one? I have been impressed with every OL I have seen. |

no head room in the cigs....
NT 43 is a big boat and has a big beam! Sonic and OL also have nice cabins. |

Jeff, Sorry that it taken a little time to get back with you. I mostly lurk vs. posting. Still have the boat, have not done any poker Runs since Lake Cumberland, 2006. My wife was laid up from surgery (up grades!!!!) during the run the run in 2007. We plan are planning on 3 this year, Lake C., Destin in August, and Hopefully, keep our fingers crossed, Key West in Nov. How about you guys, which ones? Any plans for the Miami Boat Show? We fly into Miami on Tuesday, the 12th, leave the following Monday. Let us know, look forward to talking, Robbie
Would love to go to Miami but my dad is on his last few days or week. His bone cancer has just taken ovee, Im going to miss him dearly. We will be in Destin and KW later this year as well,:ernaehrung004: which will be great. Trying also to do Jacksonville, and then all the local one's like TicFaw 200, Royal Purple and a few that the Gulf Coast Offshore guys do over this way. Ill catch up with you guys in destin, talk to u soon. Jeff |

Here is the cabin on my little and old 322 Baja. Pretty big for such a small boat. 5' 6" head room, a head that you can sit in and not hit your head or knees, plus heat and air.
But the engine compartment sucks. |

It is so hard to watch our fathers, who are bigger than life, and our heros beaten down with cancer. It is one of the hardest things in life to witness. My dad is 2 1/2 surviving with esophagus cancer, so far! He is a shell of his former self, before, 6'6", 260 lbs, now 185 lbs. Quality of life sucks, lots of issues. He hates life at this point. I'm happy that he is still here. We will look for you later this year, Destin, Maybe, Royal Purple. Any way, boats take a back seat. Will be thinking about you and your family, God Bless!!! Robbie |
The Powerplay and AT cabins look very roomy for the size of the boat !!!

I just sold the AT and we enjoyed the cabin for 5 years and it did everything that we ever wanted it too, Spent 10 days on it once in Key West. We just recently sold the AT for the Black Thunder and we both hope we enjoy it half as much as we have the AT. My wife still walks by the AT and give's it a big hug sometimes. We just both wanted more space, we spend alot of time on the boat during the summer every weekend. Alot more staying on the hook is starting. You will not go wrong with the AT and the ride is incredible. When the 43 AT comes out , we will be in the market........ in a couple years. Here are the difference in the cabins.
