Where is Activator??
 

Up and running in Bridgeport, CT, Northeast Performance Marine Group / Rage Powerboats just completed their new 28' Sport available in single big block, twin small block configuration or outboard power. Also offering a lifetime hull warranty. Rage Powerboats has recently purchased all Activator boat molds. Currently updating the 22' and 30' models with plans for a 36' and 42' model. Here are a few pictures of the new 28':

Looking good guys! I'll try to stop by this spring with my Dad.

nice looking boats.......good luck.......

Sure does look nice.:coolcowboy:

Nice. Looking forward to seeing the 36 and 42!

Who is Angelo Grimaldi?

Very cool...
and twin SBC? You can squeeze them in?

Angelo Grimaldi became a partner in 2005 with Mark Schnepf; the original owner and designer of all Activator Boats. In 2007 Angelo bought out Mark's interest in Activator. In 2007 Mark then set up shop at Northeast Performance Marine in Bridgeport, CT doing raceboat conversions and custom paintwork. In 2009 development of the new 28' Rage was started. In January 2011 the opportunity arose for Northeast Performance Marine Group to purchase the Activator molds. Thus began Rage Powerboats.

Stormrider, as for twin small blocks...no squeezing involved the boat is 8ft wide, plenty of room.

Nice!

Whoa.... so the 28 is not pulled from the 27 activator?
Didn't know that!
Nice to see another NE builder.
Look forward to seeing the finished product and performance results.

After looking again, the step is different?

Awesome looking boat. So is Mark building these boats? Is the 27' still being offered? Do you have a contact #? I'm curoius about pricing.

Activator hulls and RAGE powerboats
 

Contact Northeast Performance in Bridgeport Ct...they are now called Rage Powerboats.
Rich's tel is 203-912-7581
They offer a new 28' and the classic Activators also.

Very sharp! The best of luck 2 all!!!:coolcowboy:

Just Curious?????
 

Years back I thought there was a Rage Powerboats from the Northeast that was building cats as well. The owner I believe raced years back in the American Express Raceboats. Any connection between the two??

I have a 27' sitting in my yard. I thought the bottom looked different.

Looks Great!

way cool!

I've gone to the shop with Mark several times and the pictures of the new 28 do not do it justice - it has to be seen in person. The tooling is flawless. What Mark and Richie have done with their space is unbelievable. They have built a fiberglass shop, an engine/drive shop, beautiful offices and it is located on the water. Now that they have acquired the Activator molds, they can offer everything from 22' to 40' models. In addition, they have a huge storage facility. As always, everything is custom built and anything is possible from rigging, repair and custom paint. Definitely worth a trip.

Whasn't the old Instigator race boat a 34' Activator? If so what ever happened to the molds for that? Were there any others built.

The old Instigator was a 32' 6 were made and the molds are in storage.

Lets see some office pics lol. No really, I'm moving my electronics shop and want to make my offices nice.:bigbird:

The twins should be a pretty quick ride

looks great! do you have any pics of the finished cabin and cockpit?

Mark, boats look awesome. Your products and designs deserve some recognition. Best of luck; I know I love my Activator!!!!:drink:

Any idea on pricing for a 28' with owner supplied power and drive? I called the factory and no one has gotten back to me?

Thanks

I will call them tomorrow and have them get back to you.

Tom
