A guy has a Thompson for sale that he says is a 2001 265 Torrent. Problem is I cannot find a Thompson boat for sale on any site that is newer than 97 and NADA stops at 97. I know that they went out of business but when, and is it possible that this boat is a 2001 ? And are the Michigan made boats any good ?

Can you get or do you have the HIN {hull identification number}?

Re: Thompson boats

Their fisherman series were good boats. Still lots of them in use here aroound the great lakes. I always thought their other lines were not so hot. I looked at them quite closely back in the 90's and they seemed to have a lot of issues with fit and trim etc. I was specifically looking at their cuddy cabin line.

Re: Thompson boats

Does anyone know of anybody who has a Thompson newer than 1997. I have been on all the boat for sale sights and cannot find anything newer than 1997... Weird.......
