Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 ft. 2008 vs ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 ft. 2008 is a modified-V design and the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 is a deep-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.
The ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 ft. 2008 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 carries 160 gallons versus 50 gallons in the ThunderJet Alexis Outboard - 21 ft. 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 is rated for 9 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 TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet TJ Offshore 30 ft. 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 30,0 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.
