I just got a hold of my first boat. An 18 ft 1968 Thunderbird with a 115HP Johnson motor. As far as the boat goes there are some weak spots in the floor that need fixed and the motor runs great just needs a fuel tank and assembly. I have researched alot of the forums on here about floor replacement but does anyone know any good resources for this particular model of boat. I have done alot of looking online and can find very little in regards to the thunderbird. None so far that have been of any use.
