When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the ThunderJet Alexis 2010 and the ThunderJet Luxor 2010 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 325 hp, the ThunderJet Alexis 2010 has a 300-hp advantage over the ThunderJet Luxor 2010's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Bottom line: The ThunderJet Luxor 2010 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The ThunderJet Alexis 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.
