Default Black Thunder Returns with 2013 Production

After a five-year hiatus, Black Thunder Powerboats is returning to boat production behind new ownership. The Hannibal, Mo., company, also has opened a dealership/marine center in Lake of the Ozarks. For more details...

Can't wait to see more BT at LOTO. They have a big following at LOTO.

Thats good news! Sweet boats with lots of potential!!!

Coolerman, this is the thread where you need to post links to ALL your videos, LOTO shootout wins, ETC ETC.

Your boat is awesome, it proves how good Black Thunders are, and you deserve to show it off a little anyways!

Alright, better late than never. Here is the on-board footage from the shootout this year.

We ended up taking top gun manufacturer vee at 128mph, but we unfortunately ran into some engine problems and the motors were not making anywhere near full power.
