The ThunderJet Havasu 2008 tops out at 425 hp. Engine specs for the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 ft. 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ThunderJet Havasu 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 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 Havasu 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet Havasu 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 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.
