One of the first couple of boats built was sold to hahn .To me, it's obvious what he did with it, but don't know any of the facts on what happened, and would never ask , but I do know that this is a pic of a 50' thunder, not a hann on his website. Thunder boats (active thunder when in ill.)have been around a long time and build quality boats. If I could afford it, I would buy one just to have a 55+ footer cc. Thats like 3 flats boats end to end

Bob has been in business a lot longer than nortech. There is no wood in his boats and the glass work is awesome, the nortechs have wood in their stringers etc. I have no affiliation with thunder except it is close by and he gives me great deals on parts, etc. You have to see the 50' in person to appreciate it and they have been built for 5 years or more. Maybe this could be your next boat, but only a cummins could pull it, right.

Just to clarify history, Active Thunder is not Thunder Powerboats built in Il. Thunder Powerboats was 1989-1993.
Active Thunder Boats is a trademarked name that I have owned from 1994 until today. We have built approx. 200+ boats since inception.
I bought the molds from the investor/ owner of them since the company was in arears of their commitment to repay.
The hull molds and decks I bought have since been replaced and are gone.
And there is your history lesson for today!
