Like waterlogged said, not many of us thompson owners left.  Also, kind of hard staying on a boating link when there is still 12" of ice. good luck and don't be afraid to ask.

I know the owner had the entire floor completely re-done about 7 years ago. I also have a list of tons of upgrades and new items he put in the boat. What a deal I got! I love this boat and can't wait to hit the water!!! __________________ Joe "NO GIN" 1987 Thompson Daytona 290 Rocky Point, Long Island - NY ------------------------------------------- "Save the Earth, Ride Some Grass!" www.backyardskateboards.com Back to Top    NoGin "Deckhand" Joined: March 01 2009 Posts: 196 Posted: April 01 2009 at 07:31 | IP Logged Quote: waterlogged ya i just found that...also found this thread on the 470's http://www.marine-engines.net/topics/001156.html?motors I read this over again and there is a lot of good information here! One of the first things I am thinking about doing is upgrading to the "car type" alternator kit. Thanks for the information and link! __________________ Joe "NO GIN" 1987 Thompson Daytona 290 Rocky Point, Long Island - NY ------------------------------------------- "Save the Earth, Ride Some Grass!" www.backyardskateboards.com Back to Top
