Welcome there are a few Thunderhawk owners here.

There is only two models of Thunderhawks there is a Sr. 16' and a junior 14'.
Here are a couple of links.

This is a SR.

Thanks for the info I definately have a JR. I am still trying to find a solution to my rub rail problem. Mine is old cracked and basically shot. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could use as a replacement or subtitute?
Thanks

Thanks to some kind person it was suggested I look at this site:

to get thunderhead rub rail I did and low and behold they actually had the exact rail and have the mold to reproduce it today if you need some.
It ain't cheap but it is an exact match
