Active Thunder Last-Minute Scratch From Miami Show
Disappointing to see Active Thunder withdraw from the show—we were looking forward to seeing the 29 Savage sportboat up close and personal, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...rom-miami-show.
Heal up soon, Patrick and Casey Haughey.

At least he remains upbeat. I'd be happy to stick Fast At Last in the slip for him to have a presence. She might not be "show" quality quite yet though.

Pat and I talked about this last night.
Here's the thing not in the article: AT is running at full capacity. With boats being built, more orders yet to fill, and 2 new models in development, Pat made the right business decision given the circumstances. As you know, Pat is hands on with every step of each boat.
The 29AT is a runner, not a statue. The slip was going to be dock-locked anyhow; no rides. Opening the doors to the factory, (actually, they are always open) is a solid way to experience all that is Actve Thunder; and arrangements have been made to bring up "active" customers that need to experience the runner that is AT.
And they can go for a ride.

It will be different, yes. It's in final mock up right now, and hopefully some pics soon.
The only reason the last one kept the "bilge" compartment is because the owner wanted to store his large fenders for tying up next to his yacht; as the 33 is his tender.

Thats stinks to lose the money paid for the space as of course that could have been spent for other avenues in advertising your boats. . Possible if you still displayed at the show a few other people could have traded off some time frames to just hang around and pass out biz cards plus show the boat. I would have helped for a half day at least. Just saying. Heck I always like to talk boats anyways plus not my first boatshow for showing boats.
