2026 Thunder Jet 229 Rush OT

The 2026 Thunder Jet 229 Rush OT is a 22.75-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing and recreational boating. Powered by a single 225 hp Mercury outboard, the boat delivers responsive handling with a 14-degree Delta V2/3 hull design. Mercury's Big Tiller includes power steering for added control, and the 30-inch transom accommodates the engine comfortably.

The boat's layout centers on an open cockpit with fishing-focused amenities. A bow-mounted trolling motor prep package is ready for installation, and gunwale rod lockers port and starboard keep tackle organized. The helm features SmartCraft gauge upgrades and courtesy lighting. Twin bilge pumps and a dual battery setup support extended outings.

Accommodations include multiple seating options: a fish seat with arm rests, an additional premium seat, and a dedicated fish seat with extra arm rests. An aft sink basin and wash-down system support day-trip functionality. A port swim step with undermount ladder provides convenient water access. The boat rides on a galvanized EZ Loader trailer for transport.

Additional appointments include a sound-dampening package, graphics upgrade with raised logo, and a Mercury outboard extension kit that raises the engine height for better handling.
