1938 deck seams, keel sag, ID, and value
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 3:18 pm
I have a 1938? Thompson 16 foot dual cockpit built in Cortland NY. My Questions are
1. I prefer white deck seams. Did any Thompsons have white seams? Would white seams be unacceptable for show purposes?
2. The keel has a slight sag near the bow from sitting on the trailer wrong. Is there any recommended repair methods? is it best left alone?
3. Anyone ever seen one like this before?
4. I am probably going to sell this boat. Could anyone suggest a fair value for this boat?
Thanks in advance for any input you may have.
