Simple paint scheme, solid black/white deck type deal and I want teak flooring (not seadek)........think Playboy style paint scheme. With triple 400's that boat has to be tapping the door on 95 mph!

Put your checkbook where your mouth is. :D

Wonder where the center of gravity is on a boat like that. Surely it's going to tend towards bow high any time it leaves the water.

Love the idea of outboard reliability and offshore looks

They weigh like 680lbs a piece I think.

It's all set up for the Brothers in the islands...no more taking classic boats (Apache/Cigs,etc) and pulling i/o power and slapping a bracket on the back - now the boat can come from the factory. Any issue of CG should be easily remedied.

(BTW - This AT looks more in place than the 42X Cig conversion).... Nice Job A.T!

Ran her hard 2+ weeks in the Gulf. Just got home.

CG is addressed before you build a boat with math and computer models, its perfect.

Bow to props is 38', plenty big for the rough.

Thunder owners won't be surprised, that this is the first boat that I actually looked for big cruiser wake; throttle, launch, pull back, flat in air, time stands still, smooth, land, back on throttle, continue!

Are those 350's or 400's?

Great......Pat takes checks! How about out of state, 3rd party checks?:rolleyes:

Any chance he could get the boat done on a Friday (on a 3 day weekend, any bank holiday will do fine) and launch it with a full tank of gas for me? I will give him the check upon delivery, because I like to sign the checks on the glove box door.....start the boat, start the boat!


Terrible video clip of a great scene (at 3:30 mark).....just imagine Pat playing "Bob from the Country Bunker" and the black and white being an AT, not a police car!

So much for the no beak, no bustle, no bracket tag line anymore! :D

Great build, hope you get lots of hours on her!
