First Outboard-Powered Active Thunder 33’ Hits the Water
 

Have fun and safe weekend on the water, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...the-water.html.

72.3 for twin O/B's on a 33' is damned impressive. I've been saying ever since the O/B technology got to the current level that times will change. 1200lbs lighter than same hull w/IO's, the sun lounge now becomes your shed, better fuel economy etc, etc.
When I bought my first twin O/B 24' Sonic 12 yrs ago I figured that about 25' was the limit for twin O/B power in that day for what I wanted.
W/the new O/B's it's now beyond 30' for twins and 35' w/triples.
Damned impressive.
Now go with 300XS's or E-Tec's and drop another couple hundred lbs and see what happens.
Well done Active Thunder! Now who will be next to follow ;)

That's a great looking boat

Did they extend the cockpit?

Yeah, it really is. It reminds me of an updated and sleeker version of the outboard-powered, closed-deck V-bottoms back in the 1970s and 1980s.

I need to ask Patrick about the boat's fuel efficiency. It should be pretty good.

How much on a trailer? Looks wonderful great job...

This particular owner did not opt for it, but they said you could do it.

Great job Pat,

I Like it!!!!!!!!!
