Thunderbird Boat HELP!!!!

[bjnickers]

I just received a Thunderbird Boat for free from a friend. It is about 18 ft or so Tri Hull Bow Rider, I have attached some pictures.

I need some desperate help determining what type of Thunderbird Boat I own.
Need to know where the VIN # is located?
What year it may be? Early 70's I was told.
Where can I get an Owner's Manual.

I would like to restore this boat to it's orignal condition but need someone's help please.

Have pictures and will send if you can help, just supply your email address.

I look forward to anyone's help.

Regards,
Brian

Send me pics of it and I will be glad to help if I can. I have a 68 cathedral. The serial # is on a plastic plate mounted to the left of the motor on the inside of the back wall. To find the motor serial number, let the tilt all the way down, and look under the mount on the inside of the boat. On mine, you have to crane your neck down into the well to see the plate.
