My father built Thunder Boats on Long Island back in the 80's Only 3 were built - all 28' long - a red one, a white one and a blue one. The blue one was outboard boat with Gil brackets and ws sold a long time ago, the red one was sold without any power and he still has the white one - interior is 70's brown, it has small block chevys with volvo drives and yes - it is a mess...so maybe that's the boat - it was the "test" boat... :) If not, this is an interesting coincidence.
here's the boat and please no flames - these are the boats that gave me the offshore bug...I designed the logo at age 12. This venture by my dad led me to own 5 Cigarettes over the years and we had a lot of fun on this boat as well as the blue one. http://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/3326680683.html |
