history on this 1999 37 active thunder with 625 chief ?
 
I know active thunder family is a small community and many knows the history of almost each boat produced.

this boat is 8 hours from me.was it built with these chief? any good or bad ? is this the same boat mold as radioactive?

Looks like a good price that's for sure.

That boat has been listed for sale for quite a while. Don't know anything else about it though. Prob would run low 80's with that power in straight bottom.
RadioActive is a 2003 and a stepped AVH hull. I think RadioActive also has the taller deck which gives about 4" more cabin height.

that's how it looked like about the deck but I was not sure! 4 more inches is always important! sellers claims 90 mph. did this boat ever was ''owned '' in florida? or was it sold straight to the great lakes area?

I'd be shocked if that boat ran 90 with 625's, it might run 85 on its best day.

Yeah...no way no day on 90 mph. Mine will do 83 with 525s...I don't think you will get 7mph out of another 200 hp...and I have a stepped hull...

What about the blue 37 in the classifieds. Says 95 with 600sci's. Is this hull any different than yours?

Yeah...the stepped hull boat WILL run that speed...don't think the straight-bottom will...

I didn't look at the boat in question, but a 37 (with the AVH hull) will run right around 92-95 with 600's. So yes, 95 is certainly possible, especially if those 600's have been tweaked in anyway.
