Here is an affordable opportunity to enjoy weekends on the water without taking on the cost of a much larger cruiser. This 1989 Thundercraft 24 Magnum Express offers a practical combination of open-air cockpit space, overnight accommodations and essential cruising amenities—all for under $10,000.
With sleeping space for up to four, a private head, an equipped galley and full camper canvas, this express cruiser is well suited to family day trips, relaxed evenings at the marina and occasional overnight adventures. Its included tandem-axle trailer also adds considerable value and provides greater flexibility for storage and transportation.
This two-owner Canadian built boat has been professionally maintained. Its updated cockpit upholstery, interior upholstery and other soft goods are reported to be in very good condition, while the Bimini top and full camper canvas remain in good condition.
Cockpit and Exterior
The step-through transom makes boarding from the extended swim platform convenient. Once aboard, the cockpit provides a comfortable and social layout with a port-side L-shaped seat, forward-facing aft bench and swivel helm seat with a flip-up bolster.
A Bimini top with full camper canvas provides protection from changing weather and helps extend the boating season. Additional exterior equipment includes:
Helm and Electronics
The helm is equipped with the essential controls and electronics needed for comfortable recreational cruising:
Cabin and Accommodations
Below deck, the cabin makes good use of the available space. The convertible dinette and V-berth create a comfortable place to relax, dine or sleep. A separate mid-cabin with privacy curtains provides sleeping accommodations for two additional guests.
The port-side galley includes:
A private enclosed head is equipped with an electric marine toilet, sink and pull-out shower, giving this 24-foot cruiser the amenities needed for longer days and overnight stays aboard.
Power and Trailer
Power is provided by a single OMC 5.7L Cobra V8, rated at 260 HP, paired with an OMC Cobra stern drive. The engine has approximately 1,000 hours.
A tandem-axle boat trailer is included in the asking price, adding significant value to an already affordable package.
An Affordable Way to Start Cruising
Priced at just $9,999 CAD, this Thundercraft offers an appealing amount of boat for the money. Its roomy cockpit, overnight accommodations, private head, full camper enclosure and included trailer make it a practical choice for a first-time cruiser owner or a family looking to enjoy the Great Lakes without a large investment.
