Engine data for the ThunderJet Maxim Classic Outboard - 25 ft. 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ThunderJet Maxim Classic Outboard - 25 ft. 2008 carries 110 gallons versus 48 gallons in the ThunderJet Alexis 2011.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ThunderJet Maxim Classic Outboard - 25 ft. 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the ThunderJet Alexis 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 Maxim Classic Outboard - 25 ft. 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ThunderJet Maxim Classic Outboard - 25 ft. 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ThunderJet Alexis 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.
