Black Thunder 480 SS
 

Wow, didnt know they built a boat like this. Wonder what kind of speed you would get out of this monster with that setup? The deck is huge, must be like pulling a hull from the mold!

Nice cabin, but that thing is fugly! I'll take a used 50 Nor-Tech for 150k LESS any day of the week. Or just get a SeaRay.

$445,000:bong: 496 HO:lolhit:

Will it even get on plane??

That picture was taken at speed:party-smiley-004:

:evilb:

Or a diesel Formula 400SS. There's a brand new 2008 leftover in Lake Tahoe for $345,000. The BT 480SS cockpit layout just doesn't work for me...

I completely agree. The windsheild is too far back and is at the wrong angle, the rise in the deck starts too late. It looks like someone was building a monster offshore boat and 3/4 of the way through they decided on a cruiser and did a hatchet job throwing it together.

That 48' Cig in the woods looks better than this thing...

That thing is nothing more than a floating ABORTION!!! I ve been in it and it is a monster but PHUCKING ugly. Thats one of those boat that should "disappear"... :party-smiley-004:

This is all coming form a guy thats owned multiple BT's :angry-smiley-038:

That's a goodie!!!:coolcowboy:

I'll bet its a dog too............
 

This thing must be REALLY slow with the 496s.

That thing is so ugly a freight train would take a dirt road to avoid it.

I think they only built one.

Correct

At least they knew when to quit...

I didnt mean for this to be a bashing thread, but I'll admit thats funny!

Not a very pretty boat but to someone somewhere its drop dead gorgeous

I totally agree, just awful deck design.

:evilb:
...:eek:

Reminds me of a converse shoe

:drink::drink::drink::drink::drink:

Just think - some Designer got paid for that!

If it were any uglier Teambaja would have already slept with it.

I was going to buy it but went with this instead.

You still riding around on my shirt tail waiting for seconds?:op:

Yep............:hitit:

I have seen the boat in person several times on a lift right next to our place at LOTO. It is not the best looking boat in the world, in my opinion, BUT, in the "me too" world that we are in today, you do have to give them credit for at least trying. There are tons of things that I have attempted that I have failed miserably at, but if I gave up trying, I also would not have had any successes along the way.

Kudos to BT for at least giving it a shot!

It looks better for sure!

I bet you are one of those people that think all kids should get a trophy for showing up to the games!!

Just kidding with you. Couldn't resist. But seriously someone should have gotten fired over this design.

I don't think that at all. In fact, my wife has always given me chit as I never let my kids beat me at anything. When they got bigger and beat me fair and square, they knew they beat me.

I am just a believer that real entrepreneurs will have many failures to go with their few successes. One just hope that the failures do not overshadow the successes.

I can handle ugly.....but thats circus ugly.

I like it.... :D



Just kidding of course :D

Whhoooofff!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!! :drink:
