Straightening the aluminum strip
Thanks Ron for the information. I'm doing this boat in a carport and working out of a shed 10' x 11'. The boat is 14' 7". Since the aluminum is in 3 sections, 2 - 10 1/2' and one 12', I could probably make it work if I can curve it around a little in the shed. That is a good idea. I hope I can ...

Aluminum strip in white rubber rub rail
I'm having a tough time removing the rub rail from my Thompson Sea Mate. With all the staples and screws with out heads on them I am forced to pry it loose, which results in the aluminum insert being bent and kinked. I've only begun to remove about 2 feet of it and hate to go on as I am ruining the ...

1959 Thompson Sea Coaster
Thanks for the quick response! The metal tag for the weight capacity is gone. I do have the metal tag where it was built. It was built by the Thompson Bros. Boat Mfg. Co. Peshtigo Wisconsin. Serial # 22357. I'm just looking it over and trying to decide what I need and what to do next! Some questions...

1959 Thompson Sea Coaster
I just purchased a 1959 Thompson Wood boat in Tawas City, Michigan and brought it back to Florida to restore. The hull number is U21258S 6A. I know the U is the builder and the S is the trimmer. I guess the 1258 is the number of boats in that series. The first 2 has me stumped as does the 6A. Any id...
