Cool boat, very unique. The lines don't attract me, but thats not something you see when your in the boat so if everything else is good most will get over it, including me. The deck messes up the aesthetics, but you can see that there is a purpose to them, which is very functional. While odd looking it does create more headroom in the bathroom and galley, which will go over very well with the wives. I remember my family buying a deckboat sea ray and thought it looked ugly, but got over it quick once we spent a day on the boat. Cabin looks very nice and classy, nice quality components used from what I can tell. Cockpit is very well laid out. The one step in the cockpit isn't something I like to see for obvious reasons, but if it creates an extra midberth or some other purpose I can easily get over it. I would also like to see a little more class in the cockpit. Seems very plain jane from the pics......everything from the countertops to upholstery, but also looks very easy to maintain and could by why the onwer wanted it that way. Looks like a wide boat, maybe too wide for the road????? I give them a solid A. Was also very impressed with their 33 with twin OB capable of 70mph. AT is definitely a head of most of the sport boat industry. Good job all around.

I really like the outboards on this boat, Reason is the last 5-6 feet of the boat is returned to use instead of housing engines.

pullmytrigger 04-20-2012 04:32 PM

how fast is it?....according to zillions of previous posts if it doesnt do at least 80gps 90% of the people on here wont even ride in it.

I'm not a fan of Ob's but I gotta agree with you. Especially if your going to use it in salt.

Boat lines are nice, not sure about the egg beaters tho, makes arse end look weird...almost unfinished look-would like it with an (adjustable) extended swim platform like the cobalt. Looks like a wicked boat to entertain like the 330 sunsport and 32 sc from powerquest

Just sayin..

glassdave 04-20-2012 05:48 PM

I really like this boat a lot, I like the outboards to. Bout the only issue I can see is decks styled like this have a tendency to pool water and when wet it looks like you'd be in for a bit of a soaking. I can't see anything but that small little stubby visor thingy in front of the driver that would deter shedding water. Even still that would not keep me from buying one. Love the layout all around.

catinaround 04-20-2012 06:20 PM

Wow, I love it.

Beautifully done.

VtSteve 04-20-2012 06:48 PM

Smart move. They have time to tweak things if they desire. Many people have moved on to CC's, even many getting pontoons and the like as a second boat. This gives them another choice. From AT's standpoint, if they can offer another choice, it keeps them in the family, or perhaps draws new customers.

A cursory look at many of the threads this year would indicate they are pretty well focused on the changing markets.

im going to take a stab at this one..seems the tuneing forks on the towels give it away just maybe,,looks like the side of the boats graffix are photo choped..the sweep of the rubrail looks to be the side of a yamaha boat..Yamaha does make a bigger boat..im going to have to say this boat is a product of yamaha and photo shopped to appear to be a future thunder product..

looks like some type of european boat to me.. nice though.

4195 04-21-2012 09:52 PM

Pretty cool! Nice blend of comfort sport styling and plenty of room. Great party boat!

glassdave 04-21-2012 11:08 PM

I always liked creatively designed aft cabin boats, cant stand v births they are always uncomfortable. This thing really has a kick azz layout.

phragle 04-22-2012 12:04 AM

Im liking it too... I like functional boats, saw the Sessa Key Largo 36 in a mag a couple years ago, one of the most practrical do it all boats I have seen, just seriously too euro in the looks dept.. The new AT does it american style. Who knows, the crossover boat might become the next trend

89scarabIII 04-22-2012 01:18 AM

I love it want one was planning on fountain express but know have another option. Finally a new modern design. Fountain express cruiser and fish boats seemed to sell pretty good I see a lot of them out there.

Does look like a big Yamaha or Seadoo jet boat though.

ICDEDPPL 04-22-2012 10:44 AM

I can`t stop looking at the pics. This thing is awesome!

I think this AT looks more Euro than American, except for the lack of windshield. Those Sessa's show some great design. I hadn't seen them before. The cabin in this AT is better designed than many larger cruisers. Time to take the gloves off, and throw away the cookie cutter designs.

I'd love to see an AT25-28 based on a similar theme to this boat.

Look, I took it for face value, since you have made that same accusation before on this thread, my intent was to show this pretty boat to OSO, Pat AT is a very real guy and has the respect of a lot of us here. Sorry about your loss !
