Pat is a great guy and builds an Awesome boat, I wouldnt hesitate on either an Active THunder, or the Cig. Surprised to hear about the attitude at Cig, but they do get extremely busy with dreamers at the show. If you want to seriously talk to someone about a Cig, PM me, and I can get you in touch with Tim.

The guys at outerlimits on the other hand were very excited to talk to us.
Pat from active thunder impressed the heck out of me. Nice guy, knows a ton about boat construction, and judging buy the monster smile on his face during the test drive.. This guy LOVES what he does!

Hey Rick, it was first thing Sunday morning, and we were the only guys at the booth. The guys ignored us for 15 mins, then when we got sick of waiting to be approached and asked for help, we were treated like an inconvenience.

That surprises me, but maybe they were all a little tired from Saturday night in south beach
Not making any excuses for them, just wanted to let you know that if you are serious, I will set you up with the guy you need to speak to
Also, not trying to steer you from Active thunder at all either, The quality, ride, and speed of both boats are all top notch, if I was in the market, it would be a tough choice for me, since they are both great boats, and I have connections in both places.Rick

Affordability seems to be key in this market now. Resale value doesnt mean sh!t lately. Lots of Cigs going cheap ! Can prob get a used Cig for not much more than a AT.

Ok guys,
Just came back from the Miami show. Got a ride in an active thunder. Man, what a great riding hull. I'm trying to justify buying a boat for twice the money? So, what does everybody else say? Anybody with experience either way?
Just an FYI. The guys at the cigarette booth were dicks! We went in looking at outerlimits and cigarette, and ended up very surprised by the active thunder. He was also the only one that would take us out in the ocean, everybody else said it was too rough.
