I'm wondering what I have here. I saved her from a boat burning party a few years back. I'm ready to sell it since my projects are are starting to overtake me.
the metal hull tag reads" Thompson brothers, peshtigo, WI---23850
the stamped hull number is ----N31075
the measurements are approximate as i was working alone
length 18' 4"
beam 7' 6"
gunwhale `19' 6" approximate

This boat is already listed in my database as a 1963 Super Lancer. The hull ID "N31075" indicates she was the 1,075th boat of all models made in 1963. The letter "N" is a code for the guy in the factory responsible for getting this boat out the door. It was not his initial.

Dimensions per the 1963 brochure for the Super Lancer are: 18'-4" centerline length; 19'-11" gunwale length; 88" beam; 74" transom width. The Super Thomboy has the same dimensions. But your's looks like the Super Lancer.

Standard colour was white with copper bottom.

Thanks Andreas

Thanks Andreas, It's in your database because I emailed you a few years back when i first got it. You had asked for pictures to further identify it and i never replied for lack of time. I think I'm going to post this as a winter project for someone, it's deteriorating to fast in my driveway and i hate to see her get trashed. Thanks again, Andy
