I was taking the pictures as I was working my way through so I have a reference to what it should look like when I put it back together. The memory isn't what it used to be. Digital cameras are a wonderful thing.

Glue
Two weeks ago I was giving my Sea Lancer a good going through for a spring cleaning and I ran across what we all fear - transom rot!!! I sure was glad I decided this was the year for a coat of varnish on the inside, or I might not have found it. After a lot of investigative work on how it is assembl...

Re: Filler Stain
It looks like Interlux is the only brand still being made. I guess I will have to buy that and see how close it is. I am sure I could get it tinted if I need to. Thanks again for the help.

Filler Stain
I am looking for Pettit Z-Spar filler stain #1095 Standard Mahogany. It is a perfect match for my Sea Lancer and I am coming up empty on finding it. It also matches the brightwork on my brother-in-law's older Boston Whaler. I can find descriptions, use instructions, ect. on line but no one has it li...

Re: death of Morrie Rhude
We are sorry to hear of your loss. I did meet him at one of the Rallys, and he was a very nice man.

Re: thompson OR thompson bros.?
Thompson Brothers is a boat built in Peshtigo, Wi. Thompson is from Cortland, N.Y. Most of the time a boat from Peshtigo is just referred to as a "Thompson" unless you are talking specificly about where it was built.

Re: Thompson Rally ?
Another great Rally due to all of the hard work by Andreas, Bill and Mary, and everybody else that helped. Great pictures Ron. I hope you can get the electrical problems figured out on your boat. It was nice to see how far some people were willing to travel for this. The weather was perfect to match...

Re: Changing Trailer tire size
To me it looks like you may have a bent axle. The tire on the starboard side looks to be kicked out. You might want to get that checked so you don't have any surprises and save on your tire wear. As for larger tires, I went from 8" rims to 13" with no problems. All you need to do is check ...

Re: Andreas health report
Glad to hear the good report. Hopefully we will get some warm weather up here to stay so you can get out in the sun and bake out the cough. I got my packet today and will get it back to you very soon.

Re: my 64 sea coaster
I am sure Andreas will pipe in here if I am wrong, but if those are the numbers stamped in the transom it is a 1961 indicated by the first 1. It is also boat number 501 built by Thompson that year (all models included). There should be a letter before and after that would be for who built the boat. ...

Thompson Rally ?
Hi Andreas,
I was just wondering if there are any plans for a Rally this summer. I missed the last one because of some home remodeling.

Re: Depth finder
My sons bought me one of the less expensive fish finders at Gander Mtn a few years ago. The transducer hangs on the transom and it works great as a depth finder.
