With the chance of two storms in Cracker Bay at the same time, we’re all but guaranteed to have some good thundercat surf!
New Ceasar Race Bullet hulls will be here soon and a second batch on their way. Thundercats are definitely picking up steam in the US. It’s an exciting time to be alive. All three of the 2020 Yamaha 50 2 strokes have been claimed but we’ll likely get more in the future, maybe Tohatsu too.
It’s amazing how much more fun people have with genuine South African hulls versus the garbage from US and Chinese manufacturers. I’ve said it many times before, thundercats would have been popular in the US a long time ago if it weren’t for DUX and Seawolf. Many of us have been burned by the quality and customer service of US based Thundercat manufacturers. It’s not every day that an imported product is better but Thudercat inflatable boats are definitely the exception. The only disadvantage in going with South African hulls is the wait to get one.
Fortunately, Cracker Bay Thundercats and Inflatable Boat Racing are making Thundercats great again in the US.
Check out this user submitted link to a YouTube video of Baywatch when Thundercats were first introduced to mainstream USA.
If you haven’t been on a thundercat, you owe it to yourself to find someone with one and go for a ride. We’ve sold hulls all over the US so even if you aren’t in Panama City Beach Florida, we can usually point you in the direction of a nearby thundercat.
The interesting history of Thundercats can be found in Jim Russell’s book ‘Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design‘. Also a fantastic book if you’re interested in designing, modifying or just setting up a tunnel hull boat.
Everyone dies, few people really live life! Get livin!
