Pat @ Active Thunder built a 28' AT for a guy who wanted a surface drive with Ford power. Pat built the boat with full interior, wiring, dash, paint, etc, and the owner finished rigging the boat himself. It turned out awesome. Now that Pat has cut over to the 29' Active Thunder with the DDC single step, I can see a newer version being twice as awesome.

28 Howard seems to be one of the most capable in terms of speed and it sounds like that is what your after. Laveycraft another good west coast boat. Hustler 266 Rocket

Yes, I saw that. Pat also has a 22' Active Thunder as well, but he hasn't marketed it in the past few years. I'm certain he'd build another one though. He built one for Harry Schoell which had a Pulse Drive on it back in the day. https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...ee-running.jpg This one was obviously an OB configuration. It was repainted and I came close to buying it several years ago. https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...ler-rearsm.jpg |
Have you looked at Tuff Marine. TUFF Power Boats - Extreme High Performance boats by Tuff Marine. |

Looking for a new speed boat. 25' - 27' with small but accessible cuddy. No CC's. Prefer inboard with surface drive. I've tried most builders listed on this site. The ZT 275 by Checkmate is as close as I have found to what I'm searching for. They are no longer taking orders. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks |
x2 Velocity, Scott will build you exactly what you want!!
