Im a stand up jet ski guy but thought it looked awesome. Just wanted to ask a couple questions

-Are Active Thunder boats a decent boat?
-any "Active thunder" gurus on the forum here? (i have only heard of scarabs fountains, Outerlimits, etc
-Are they still in business?

Thanks a ton guys, excited to join the forum!!!

Definitely call Pat at the factory, that boat has a lifetime warranty so all of your issues should be covered!

Good luck with the new ride!

I've watched this boat for sale for a year or 2!

Seems like a nice project! I was just effraid it had sank by looking at the interior condition... hard to believe only the ''sun'' made the interior so dirty...

But I have not seen it in person so I might be wrong! nice set up indeed!
