The ThunderJet Alexis Classic 2010 carries a rated maximum of 325 hp. Engine data for the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 20 ft. 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet Alexis Classic 2010 carries 80 gallons versus 50 gallons in the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 20 ft. 2008.
