new boat.. see you out there!

OCDACTIVE · 04-11-2009, 11:44 AM

Just bought her yesterday.. Look forward to seeing you all out there!!!!

hazelnut · 04-11-2009, 11:58 AM

Beauty, can't wait to see her on the lake. Congrats.

TomC · 04-11-2009, 12:07 PM

going to be tough keeping it under the limit...

OCDACTIVE · 04-11-2009, 12:11 PM

I will get flammed for this... but whatever... LOL

searay220 · 04-11-2009, 12:23 PM

I hope the gas prices stay low enough so you can enjoy the boat. Just limit the tubing/wakeboarding.

OCDACTIVE · 04-11-2009, 12:27 PM

Thanks.. I agree..... Gas could be very tough.. Good part is I will be trailering it so at least I won't have to fill up on the lake.

Probably not the best boat to be tubing behind. I have a 17 foot fishing boat that would work much better.

I don't think the person being towed would enjoy a rooster tail in the face LOL

jst_4_kiks · 04-11-2009, 01:54 PM

nice looking boat. clean. specs??? i see a procharger on the 500 efi. length, year, tow vehicle?

if it were my boat, need graphics on the sides.

have fun

see ya out there

OCDACTIVE · 04-11-2009, 02:23 PM

I am going to have the active thunder logo (same as my avatar) on the rear side. I like the all white, clean looking.. But who knows maybe something in the future.

It does have a procharger. It is a 1999 active thunder savage 28 feet. I have a F250 so no worries there.

brk-lnt · 04-11-2009, 02:30 PM

Congrats. Looks perfect for the lake, hope to see you out there this year.

jrc · 04-11-2009, 03:04 PM

Excuse my ignorance, but what's a procharger? The headers look like they go straight to the transom so it's not a turbo charger, is it a supercharger?

Never mind the speed limit, how are you going to meet the noise limit?

OCDACTIVE · 04-11-2009, 03:09 PM

Yes to compare it to automotive mechanics it is a supercharger.

I will definatley have to get mufflers.. I thought about turn downs but that will only solve the problem if I am not up on plain around "the man"... So I am going to look for something that is easy to install and remove. No where else I go has noise or any other type of limits.... So just another hassel to overcome.

trfour · 04-11-2009, 09:01 PM

OCDACTIVE, best of luck on your new boat!

jst_4_kiks · 04-11-2009, 11:33 PM

procharger: basically the same as a supercharger as used in a car. procharger is water cooled and a supercharger is oil cooled from the engine oil. like a big air pump that pushes air into the engine intake (boost) for MORE power. small package to make big power. can be put almost any inboard engine.

see the chrome/polished piping coming off the side of the charger going to the intake?

supercharger: needs a intercooler to cool the "charged" air. oil cooled. huge piece on top of the engine.

search the web for more info. thats what i know of them

robmac · 04-12-2009, 09:01 AM

Looks great best of luck with her,look forward to seeing you out on the water.

BroadHopper · 04-13-2009, 05:54 PM

I find putting on the biggest prop that the boat can handle helps keeps the GPH up. Give her a name so that I know its you and i will give you the wave!

OCDACTIVE · 04-13-2009, 06:08 PM

I am putting Active Thunder. The same as my Avatar on the rear quarter of each side. The previous owner had a 5 blade.. big pitch and it caused too much stern lift. There is a 32 on there now which seems to work great.. Not too much prop slip and pushing 86 - 88 mph you really can't complain.

Unfortunately,I guess you'll have to do that on Winnisquam now.

OCDACTIVE · 04-14-2009, 08:00 AM

Or just not get caught...

I highly doubt they are going to be gunning people in the middle of the broads...... But we shall see...

Woodsy · 04-14-2009, 08:23 AM

Congrats on the new ride..... sweet looking boat!

)

Yeah I hear you. This morning was the first day I drove to work in my '09 Honda Accord. Good buys and financing out there right now if your able to purchase what you desire (or need.)

SAMIAM · 04-20-2009, 09:04 AM

Just trying to get a rise out of you.OCDACTIVE.......I had an older 3x2 with a modified big block....sold it and moved to a deck boat......it was fast but pretty noisy.....my neighbors like me now.
I'm just droolling over your new AT...they are a quality boat and I know you'll have a great time with it.Have you had it out yet?

SIKSUKR · 04-20-2009, 10:05 AM

I hate to tell you guys but I think most big PWC's might be the quickest to 45 mph.I'll meet you there!

No way.. She has been trending towards Boston since she was built. She now finally feels at home.. Hey I figure a championship boat deserves a championship team..

Actually now that I think of it........ Sox, Pats, Celts and even the Bruins.. Yup she is happy to be home..
