Default Strange boat at lake this weekend

..... So in drip on both Saturday and Sunday, saw a boat I had never seen before. It had to be at least 38 ft.

It was really big and heavy looking.. looked more like a small narrow express cruizer. It had a purple design on it...

Overall a pretty neat looking boat, just curious if anyone knew anything about it.


On a side note, nice getting to meet and chat with some of you on Friday night up at Hookers!

Black Thunder, it has been on the lake for a few weeks now. Goes in and out of Duck Creek all the time.

Matt: 43 BT. We saw it Saturday. Haven't seen one on the lake since we sold ours. That boat is a blast and you can cruise around @70+ (hp500's) plus with the girls making snacks and drinks. Best bang for the buck in my estimation. No water on Grand will shake that thing.

i talked to the owner. Scott Lee or Mark Lee, I cant remeber his first name. Boat came from the east coast. He was launching at hammerhead when I met him. had 500's in it and 6' of headroom in the galley. Boat looked HUGE on the trailer. He was upgrading froma boat theft and wanted reliability and a/c. Nice guy...
