1989 Thompson Sea Rage - Documentation

[Songminer]

Just entered the world of boating, trading an old Mercedes for 19' 6" Thompson Sea Rage. It's got all new stringers and a fiberglass deck.. and a rebuilt 4.3 L Mercruiser engine.. but its amazing how little literature and/or manuals are available out there.

Anybody have any good sources for Thompson literature. Anybody have any Thompson advice or skinny for that era of boat?

welcome aboard

your looking for something that DOES NOT EXIST

short of literally one or two manufacturers out of tens of thousands, there is no such thing as a manual for the boat

boats came with a 4-page brochure indicating the pointy end is the bow, the steering wheel makes it turn, the flat end is the stern, and here are the service providers. also packaged with that was the drive manual

regarding Thompson, it was pretty much defunct other than a name by 1968

did they replace the transom while they were replacing the floor and stringers?
