32' Actuve Thunder here on OSO in the classifieds for sale. "Audacity". Boat is aggressively priced in my opinion. I happen to think he's too cheap on it. If I were buying it I wouldn't even haggle on price.

Boat is very well known. Well cared for. Looks like a turnkey boat to me. Any and all history on it can be found here on this site.

I have no ties to boat or owner. Just can't believe it hasn't sold.

Joe - based on my recent experience, I'd call Ed Champion at LOTO and tell him what you're looking for. He is very resourceful. I sent a friend of mine to him a few weeks ago, and he found what my friend was looking for, at the price he wanted to pay, in about 24 hours. It wasn't on his lot nor brokered, my understanding.

Big water or flat water boating?

The 38 PP on the classifieds will crush just about anything you throw at it and look good, feel comfortable and have plenty of room at the same time. Probably built better than anything mentioned her too.

Have you talked to Doc Janssen? He's helped a lot of boaters with back issues.

I agree on the 38PP comment above, and also; there are a couple new 37ATs that you will see on the waters around Indiana this season too.

There is a nice looking twin step T/G listed in classifieds @ 139k - "Double Take". Very clean, could be yours with some negotiating skills!

I think with that budget it's a simple equation.

Patience+negotiation=T/S TG

Also, somewhere in that equation is resale, which will always be there for a clean Top Gun

I pretty much wore out my welcome at LOTO. Going to Havasu on Tuesday. Took that Eliminator out and liked it, didn't love it. Wasn't impressed with it's speed or ride. Might be able to fix it with some setup work. Made an offer contingent on them doing some paint work. Previous owner was pretty rough on her. Looked at some top guns. I have just about decided that I don't need a boat that big, although they are sexy. Would have to buy a new truck probably. I have a 2015 2500 Duramax.
