Here's a brochure with Runnin Hot . It was a Thunder Boat built by Bob Oetringer, before becoming Active Thunder. It was at the factory when I had a 24 built in 1990, just sold it in 2007 and bought a '99 32 Active Thunder.

I wonder if there is a used deck available or perhaps the one that caught fire? I am working on a 32 (31.6) spectra that I am going to be doing some major deck mods to this boat however before I start it might be worth persuing another deck all together. That would be a job itself though provided one could retro fit it.

here is a pic with the chopped deck

I was there when Bob Harris (the original owner) had the 32' AT "Runnin' Hot" built back in 1989-1990. I rode in that boat several times because he brought it to St. Joseph, Michigan a lot back in the day. It wasn't really built for racing although Bob raced it a few times in South Haven---they actually had a very small offshore boat race there for a few years. I don't know of any times he may have raced the boat in Florida---maybe he did a few times, but I that was a long time ago and I do not recall.

Dan C. owned the other yellow 1990 32' AT called "NO LIMIT"---which is the boat that I now own (since 2001). I rode in that boat a few times as well when Dan owned it. It was oringinally rigged with TRS drives---but from the time I bought it I have re-rigged the boat with Bravo One drives.

FYI, my boat (32' AT) w/tri-axle trailer is now FOR SALE. I pulled my engines out, removed the extension boxes and -2 IMCO shorties and I just had a new pair of very mildly built 482cid engines (dyno'd at 509hp/561tq) built for it by Dave Wesseldyk of WESCO Racing Engines in Jenison, Michigan,...........but I can sell it with or without engines.

I have some photos and more details about my boat in the Active Thunder section...do a search.

I didn't see any 1990 AT's listed?

Yes, you are correct---I haven't really officially listed the boat so to speak because I was trying to get the new engines built for it....between building the new engines, selling other stuff, and running 2 divisions within my company it's like doing a juggling act......but now the engines are built, dyno'd and ready for install. At least it's one less thing I have to do.

I am willing to show the boat to anyone who is interested. For those who are interested in buying, I guess it just depends on how they want to buy it---i.e. with or without engines, or with engines but not installed or...??? Mark
