Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 vs ThunderJet NE Envoy 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 against a modified vee ThunderJet NE Envoy 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 has a 265-hp advantage over the ThunderJet NE Envoy 2011's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. 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 Alexis OB OS 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the ThunderJet NE Envoy 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet Alexis OB OS 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ThunderJet NE Envoy 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
