What do i have here?

[mattb]

Hello,

I just purchased a Thompson. First wood boat and first any boat. There is a plaque on the dash that says its a Peshtigo made boat serial #16157. The number stamped on the transom is L92807. The registration says it's a 1957, although from the transom # it would seem to be a 59. Is this correct? The capacity rating says it 1350 lbs and 70 hp. What model would that make it?

Thanks in advance for any information!

I'm new to the site and to boats so please forgive any wrong doing (dash?).

Matt
