Re: Super Duper BIG Thompson road trip

Thanks for the update. Sorry for the trouble with the law, rough and slick roads. It is great to have her in your shop with a brighter future ahead of her. There cannot be many of these left. True piece of boating history.

Our 18' 1963 Thompson Super Lancer turns 50 this year yet she still got us to lunch and back today without a hitch. Temps today near 6...

I agree, the response was thoughtful, well written, and spot on. I too greatly appreciate the hours or work of Miles and Andreas to keep our Thompson family boats on top of the water and those of us at the helms informed. No award can match the thrill I get every time I get behind the wheel of one o...

Great. It just looked like it needs some clean-up on the hull paint. All the structural components are okay?
