Matching a modified vee ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009 against a deep vee ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009 measures 21,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 tips the scales at 215 lbs — 191 lbs less than the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009 at 24 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 carries 48 gallons versus 5 gallons in the ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The ThunderJet Alexis OB Offshore 2009 at 21,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The ThunderJet Luxor Offshore 2012 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
