Owner, Mark Schnepf has been in the boat business his entire life. Mark recalls rebuilding engines, painting boats, repairing fiberglass, and every type of marine work he could at a very young age. Growing up in a marine focused family, Mark spent a large portion of his childhood at the Marina with his father and family members. The family owned Marina laid the foundation for Activator Boats Inc. “When I was sixteen years old, I went for a ride in a 70 mph. homemade Deep V. That was it for me,” says Schnepf. Within 1 year he put together his own 70 mph rig. Life had taken a sudden turn, “While my friends were driving their first cars, I was building my own boat”, says Schnepf. In the late 1970’s Mark was building plugs and molds for some local guys which later landed him at Hustler Powerboats. “After a year or so with Hustler I felt it was only natural to go out on my own fully,” says Schnepf. At this time it was 1985 and the 22 Activator was born. Between Ocean Outboard ( a local dealership) and Activator Boats some sixty-five 22 foot boats were built and delivered over a 3 year span. Mark’s early career experience spans a variety of companies such as Hustler, Cobra, Scorpion and Apache. However, it’s his Activator Boats that dominated the factory one class in APBA offshore boat racing for the past few decades. Mark alone brings 45 years of heritage and experience in the custom fiberglass business with design and fabrication of various plugs, hulls and molds. Racing came as a natural progression for the brand, and becoming the world champion was simply inevitable. Specializing in hulls that perform in the roughest most difficult water conditions are his passion and true talent.Life is all about choices, and too short for the wrong ones. Choose Rage and live on. Speed on the water is unlike anything else. One might say it is the “Final Frontier” where adrenaline runs for hours and the experience lasts a lifetime. At Rage Powerboats our builds are engineered for optimal performance, safety and comfort. The recognizable style makes these vessels stand out in a crowd.
