Need info on old boat

[michaelrman]

I was just given a boat that was bought at an auction in Chicago, my father inlaw told me it was a 79, the plackerd on the side of the boat says Thompson of Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It is a fiberglass body no cuddy, and no open bow, it is about 18 or 19 ft I think, with a 90hp mercury which is spotless except the missin air box. I have spent many hours searching the web and can't find anything on it, I've found the history of manufacturer but nothing on this boat. Thanks for your time.

Re: Need info on old boat

Welcome to the iboats.com forum. The experts here can help you with any boat, motor and trailer question. The link below contains one Thompson fiberglass boat. Hope that helps. I have great memories of the Thompson wooden lapstrake boats of the 1950's and 60's. If your fiberglass boat is built as well as their wooden boats, you should have a good one. You might also find some info at: www.fiberglassics.com. However, they are reworking that website and some brands are not active at this time. Good luck!
