Just found this thread...I know it's a bit old.

I also own an '89 220 Magnum but has a 4.3 OMC Cobra Sterndrive.

According to the sales literature (the original!):

Fuel Capacity: 48 gal (218 L)
Gross Weight: 3900 lbs. (1769 kg)

I love my 220!

hello , thanks for the information , i haven;t been down on the thundercraft forum in quite awhile, everytime i check it seems kind of quiet down here , we had a chance to sell the boat but no way its just the right size that i can go out fishing in it by myself , love that boat ..

There's an '88 at my boatyard which is apparently for sale...looks like a really nice boat too. (red one :P) Y'all should post some pics of your Thundercrafts! Great Canadian boats.

Here's my '89 Thundercraft 220 Magnum.

Never posted pics before, so here's hoping...

[JBF 1962]

Nice lookin boat Mohawkmtrs! Do you get up into the Kawartha lakes much or at all?

[Mohawkmtrs]

JBF:

Never got up that way...mainly Bay of Quinte, Belleville to Picton,Kingston, Gananoque and the Thousand Islands.

hi everyone , hey mohawkmtrs your boat is white with blue trim the same as ours ,i noticed you do not have the remote spotlight either . it must have been an option , i have the cable going out there and thats it . we go up that way every year , it is beautiful up that way . i like going to the poker runs and looking at the go fast boats , if i ever win the 649 the first thing i have to do is buy bolt castle and then my 26 foot donzi .

[JBF 1962]

Nice area, one of my boat trip dreams is to head down to Lake Ontario, then up the Rideau to Ottawa and back. I'm on Lake Scugog so it's a good journey

Need moooooore boat pics Thundercrafts are the next best thing to a Doral, lol

Hi Everybody:

Canman: Mine had the remote searchlight as well but the cable is the only thing left...they got easily broken and I prefer having a handheld light anyways.

Mine also came with the 12v fridge, cockpit cover (tonneau cover), transom ski hook and external rear deck shower (located on the stern side transom).

When in the Thousand Islands (a 3.5 hr. cruise away from my dock), we usually stay at Canoe Point State Park on the eastern tip of Grindstone Island...WAY better than the Canadian National Parks Islands.

FYI...I've attached the original sales literature for you guys.

hi everyone , thanks for the literature on the magnum 220 , mine came with the fridge but no stove , my wife says thats what restaurants are for . catch you guys later , the wife wants to head to the states and get a couple of new winter coats ..

[Mohawkmtrs]

The "stove" is basically an alcohol burner located above the fridge and next to the sink (it came as a standard feature).

I've used it to make perked coffee after anchoring overnight in a cove while The Admiral sleeps! Works good and she likes to wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee (and Baileys!) and I get to collect the Brownie Points!

[canman]

hi mohawkmtrs hows it going ? on our boat they must have taken the stove out and it has like a cutting board over the hole where the stove use to be . anyway just thought i would stop in and say hi , to cold to go outside and do anything . this retirement life is killing me in the winter .
