Looks amazing! Really gives me some great ideas. I do not have a rear seat in my Offshore but plan to build one and I may just plank the inner walls as well, gives it a very clean finished look. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures!!

Dual motor set ups are cool, keep us posted with pictures.

Joe, It is a very early fish locator, as a kid I remember it sitting in a box in our garage. My dad threw it away, wish I had it now along with the cool marine toilet that was mounted under the bench seat. You can see the locator from the front in the other "Vintage Picture" post. The blac...

Andreas,

I found a pic of your baby on one of my memory sticks. 2008 Minnetonka show!

Here she is in her most recent configuration. 3rd motor a "61" Merc 700 and non color correct red canvas top. I think the red top gives her some sizzle. She has been out of the water for a few years and is awaiting a full refinish. Let the fun begin!

1957 Offshore with her 2nd power plant the mighty "Tower of Power" Merc 1000 in the Summer of "62". My Great Uncle said it was the first like it on the lake.

A-1.jpg My Great Uncle loved to fish so he had the dealer install the deck lights for night fishing and docking. The killer rear flag Glo-Pole was installed by the dealer when he first purchased her. Very cool look at night when the whole pole glows bright white and then is see through during the d...

First Attempt at posting a picture!

I have seen the pictures of your new shop and the offshore you mention on this site. Nice new place to work on your boats compaired to that little garage I visited you at years ago when you lived in Minneapolis. If I remember correctly you had an early 60's Thomson cuddy stuffed in there? How is tha...

Andy, She looks amazing. I have a 57 Offshore and hope to start her refinish soon. Please share more pictures, I really like how you had the interior walls planked, 1st class work. I compare our boats to hot rods, no one is afraid to make them their own. I have a non color correct low rise red canva...

This request goes out to everyone. Please post more pictures of your beautiful boats. I have been a Thompson fan for all 40 years of my life and have been following the Dockside for 5+ of them. This is my 2nd post to the site and you can expect many more. I plan to post pictures as soon as I figure ...
