    New Active Thunder 22’ Vee O/B

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.


    Checkmate 16' 140 Johnson
    Hydrostream 17' Vector FrankenRude I
    Laser 480 (?) 21' w/GT 200
    Glastron Carlson Conquest w/XP 2.6

    Wow, beautiful! Love the green. One little niggle is the front hatch. They should've found a way to make the hinge/ hardware recessed. It looks like an afterthought. But overall another beautiful V.

    Very nice looking boat! It will be interesting to see how it runs with the big 4.6 on it!

    Better have some strong anchor chocks in that front hatch for sure. Looks more sit on rather than sit in with those high seats.

    Good to see another single OB v-hull being built, lets hope they avoid the "we are a premium brand" pricing problem.

    I would guess 100k as pictured, ready to run turn key. Will it break 100mph at will?

    overall, the hull lines are great.

    seats as mentioned by pulse - too tall, looks kinda funny.

    Dash especially passenger side looks terrible.

    Glad some manufacturers are still making "smaller" single engine boats.

    ...what's old is new again. seatrialed the first boat for/with harry schoell on an inland freshwater quarry lake just west of his shop, to evaluate it, back in about 1996-97. 260 alpha package & it went 66 mph. same exact speed as the other boats available then with the same engine/drive. then he finalized his surface drive design for the boat & installed one with the same engine. can't be sure, but i think i heard it went the same for speed. he got pat at active, down the street, to build the few that he sold & they magically became active thunders with harry taking his commissions. that was many years ago. maybe pat owns the tooling outright nowadays, who knows...
