Nice board, LOTS of info. I?ve been cruising the boards for a few days and about to take a plunge into ownership. Never owned a boat but have been in many over the years. I have an opportunity to acquire a 1970 Thunderbird 18? Comanche tri hull open bow with a i/o 6cyl motor for $1k. The boat is very clean, I plan on using the boat for delta and bay fishing in N CA but have heard mixed comments about the boats ability to ride in rough water. It looks like a pretty deep hull for a tri hull and after reading some of the posts I?m a little mixed about it. It does need a throttle cable, it was replaced last year but now ?binding??? and warranty is out on the repair, otherwise it looks great.
Any input greatly appreciated.
