They were rebuilt an this winter I will go through and repaint them. http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3272/8n5j.jpg Ha...

What does it have to do with Thompson and anyone know any history of it?

I decided to skip the blue backgroung for the logo right now I like the clean look without it. The boards on the inside were added because the wood inside was weathered and I di...

Re: Is this the Offshore model?

I would like to know if anyone has any specific info on this boat that I should be aware of. Unfortunantly it won't be quite original because of the condition but I wanted to have it fixed up to keep it in the family. The floor was completly rotted out. http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9027/thomps...
