Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008 vs ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008 against a deep vee ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 500 hp for the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008 and 500 hp for the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 carries 16 gallons versus 5 gallons in the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore - 22 ft. 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
