32' looks like an Active Thunder? Cannon made Thunder boats before Pat at AT bought the molds in 1995. I looked into buying a 94 with 525's out of TX years ago. I did a little research and the only issue I heard about was something with the cockpit floor. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No photos but its a 28ft with twin small blocks. the interior looks good just one of the worse looking engine compartments I have ever seen!!

What year is the boat? Active Thunder did not build a 28' boat until 1999. The first one built had twin Merc small blocks...

Default Thunder Boats

Thunder Boats was started by Bob Oetringer,he sold the molds and they eventually became Active Thunder. Bob can be reached at [email protected] and is located in North Ft. Meyers. He is one of the good guys out there and does a great job on anything he works on. Bud
