Black Thunder is Back
 

Received an email today saying they will be at the Shootout and back in production for 2013.

Good to here Black Thunder is hanging in there during a tough economy. Too many high performance boat builders have gone belly up or closed shop!

glade to see they didnt go under.tough times in the boating industry.it would be interesting to see a black thunder run 140.i wonder what kind of power plant,,,,,,,,maybe turbine power?

Im guessing there talking about Saxman's boat

sax man will be doing the shootout with his 43 Bt should do 140mph!!

Coolermans boat is AMAZING! It helps to show why Black Thunders are still in business! Now if only more people slept on their boats instead of hotels and condos they would sell even more! But hey, still nice to have that huge cabin there and ready for the ladies! Plus run 140mph if you want!

Sounds wicked. Look forward to seeing you back at LOTO. Good Luck!

Thanks! Whether or not we are the fastest vee this year, I just want to get that 140, then I'll be a happy camper :)

I love Black Thunders! So roomy! One day it`ll be my next boat, just have to find one with a decent paint job.

BT can build you one with the exact paint you want!

Good Luck!!!

Thanks Wrink!

140 is impressive! I would assume u have already been north of 140 but to do it in the shoot out is awesome

Good luck Jason!

Good Luck

Good luck at Lotto again this year

Good News to hear they're still in biz!

It hasn't been easy for anybody these last few years!


WwW

Who are the new owners?

I bet they can!

There are some new people involved, but the Jenkins are still as much there as before and are an integral part of "Back in Black!"

More details and an official press release from BT should be out shortly.

Thanks!

Good to hear BT opened up the shop again! I think a 46 with staggered or triple 650hp diesels and Arnesons would be the cat's ass!

Stop by the docks at Capt Rons for a free T-Shirt, we will be giving out about 400 of them!

Also, here is the new Black Thunder "Back In Black: 2013" Trailer!

They should update theirs website. Allot of very old pictures. Good for archives just not under available models...

Also should take this one down.
