No association with Thunder Boats or Active Thunder.

OOPS, I had that backwards, it was Thunder before the active:drink:

This is some literature I recieved from Thunder Boats when I was having a boat built in 1990/1991. I don't know if he really had access to the the Active Marine cats molds or not.

I can tell you all about these boats.


There were three active cats that were built for pleasure. I owned the first black one which was all balsa cored and kevlar. It's name was Trust Me out of Detroit owned by Terry Mullins, I bought it from him and named the boat Tweety's Revenge. The boat in now white and was at lake cumberland marine before liquidators got it. The other two that were pleasure boats was Showtime, and the other was all white with kamma drives.

Last I heard he was traveling the country in a motorhome but not in good health......that was 18 years ago.

And the black one was Bud Drutmans personal boat, Kevlar 49 and polester layup. I put the tunnel back in it for Tague and put some custom 17" extension boxes on it.

There was a boat called Tweetys Revenge here in Spring Lake area for years on a lift Is this the same boat ???

I am glad you beat me to the punch on this one.....

it's the same boat, I am glad the boat went to a good home.

I had the white one with Kamma drives, that I bought from Pete Smith. [Wolverine] The 33' Active was his pleasure cat, as he raced the 37' Active cat. I thought there also was a red 33' Active that Rich Anderson had, was that Showtime ?
Around 1988 ironhead & I put a pleasure deck on Bobs [M-588 COUGAR, M-17 Magic] race deck 33' Active cat. Bob K used her for years as a pleasure boat here on Lake St Clair & down in Florida. Bob sold her, and today ???????

last known lake of the ozarks bib bob talks to the guy once a year and its still a tank

They built the actives in lake bluff then ,and did a good job with them. 32 and 37 and a 29' v bottom.

So where does the 32 pleasure cat that started as FastCash on LOTO and ended up here in Ontario as AhstaLaVeesta fit in. 510's and number 5 drives.

My 33' Active went to Canada around 2003 after the guy I sold to, sold her. I found these pic's of her , I believe when she was in Canada ? Same Active cat ?????

Nope, not it. The one I refer to had a center console, buckets and a side entry to the cabin area.

Have you ever seen my old cat in Ontario ??????
