Hi all. I just took title of a 18 foot 1968 Thunderbird Cathedral Hull Cuddy cabin boat. I'm very excited about getting this boat in ship shape and out on the water. I definately have my work cut out for me though. It is an outboard model with no motor. The max HP on the ID tag says 250. Does anyone have any reccomendations for motor size? 250 seems like a lot for a boat this size, and would be strechting my budget. Also there are some stress cracks across the top of the gunwale just forward of the transome. They look like there just in the gel coat. Is something to be concerned with? The boat will be following me home on Monday. Once I get it home and cleaned up I can post a lot of photos. Looking forward to receiving any advice or comments from all the Thunderbird experts.
