Sorry about that Andreas. I had seen others before and thought it was ok. Lesson learned! I just thought it would be nice to get the word out there to preserve these??

Thanks!

Saw this 21' Thompson on Craigslist in Eastern,CT. Not sure of condition or details, but thought I would share in case someone was interested. Nice to save another Thompson.

I have to replace a few of the old keel rollers on my trailer. They are 12" long, but have a shaft diameter of 1 3/8". Or I've been told they are old Pipe shafts? I can't seem to find any replacements. 5/8" shafts are all I can find on the new rollers. Any suggestions on where to find...

So excited for you! She looks amazing. Sorry I never made it over to see the work in progress. Ever take her onto the LI sound? I'm out by Fairfield all the time. Thompson is running great! Enjoy the fruits of your effort.

Well my steering wheel disintegrated on me today. Plastic just broke off at the center. Anyone know where I get my hands on one? Not sure how the steering wheel changed over the years or between boat models that year. Not looking for a perfect one, but would like a decent one to keep it original. I ...

Unfortunately decided to give up on the 100hp Johnson. Picked up a 1984 115hp Mercury inline 6. Have it on my 67' Thompson offshore and hope to have her in the water soon! Anyone know a good place to sell my 100hp Johnson? Had it on eBay a few times and no bites. Figure I need to find a site that is...

Sorry everyone I have been traveling like a mad man. Actually just picked up a 1982 Mercury 115hp. Very nice motor and it runs!! Anyone know when Mercucry started rating the HP at the prop? The guy I bought the OB from said it was 1982. She is real clean with new power head, rebuilt carbs and rebuil...

Sorry everyone I have been traveling like a mad man. Unfortunately I went ten steps back. I blew another pulse pack! Uggggg!! Not worth another $280. Actually just picked up a 1982 Mercury 115hp. Very nice motor and it runs!! Anyone know when Mercucry started rating the HP at the prop? The guy I bou...

Here is the link to my photo album:

Maybe we can tell from the photos? Thanks!

How would I know which one I have? What are the differences between the two? Would the 150 Hp fall into both types? I will try to post a picture of my boat so you can see my type. It has a big flare in the front, but is pretty flat at the transom. I didn't see that there were two types in my catalog...

Thanks Phil! The OBC plate has 215 as well, but the catalog I have for 1967 Thompson boats shows 180 for OB and 225 for I/O. Just wanted to make sure I didn't put too heavy or powerful a motor on this boat.

Thanks!
Chris

I have a 1967 Thompson Offshore camper that is 21 ft long. It originally had a 1968 100 Hp johnson on it. I have a chance to pick up a nice 1994 150hp Mercury OB. - Is it Too big for my boat? My manual for the boat said it could handle up to a 180hp OB.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!! I plan on trying them out this weekend. John - Question on my High Speed Orifice. If I was running at full throttle and sprayed fuel into the carbs wouldn't I get a noticable change in the engine?? I did that and I only experienced a slight decrease in RPM's. W...

First you should all be happy to hear that I finally got my 1968 100hp Johnson running and on top of that to actually stay running!!! Ok that is the good part. It idles great, but when I give it power it just lumbers along at about 1/3rd the speed. I would think that she should have more power. She ...

Should still work. I tried it and it worked. Try this link:
