Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 vs ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 is a deep-V design and the ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 - 300 hp for the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 and 300 hp for the ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 48 gal and 48 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet Landing Craft Cabin 26 ft. 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
