Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 vs ThunderJet Havasu 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 against a modified vee ThunderJet Havasu 2010 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 has a 275-hp advantage over the ThunderJet Havasu 2010's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 carries 48 gallons versus 5 gallons in the ThunderJet Havasu 2010. 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 OS 2011 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The ThunderJet Havasu 2010 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.
