This Thompson is located at Graef's Marina in Somer's Point, NJ. I almost took her a while back.

she is absolutely gorgeous and was reportably built for Mr. Thompson, himself.

The planking is good cedar, and it appears to be in good shape, with the exception of some ice damage.

I would look at her as needing a compleat refastening. Beyound that, most of the work needed seemed to be cosmetic. The engines where there last time I looked. I dunno if they run or not.

I thought she was more like 30 feet!! she has like a 20 foot cockpit!

Graif's is located on Maryland ave, across the creek from my cutter's slip. just inland and between Longport and Ocean City, NJ

Really nice boat - wish she was in my neighborhood:D

Us southern boys don't see many abandoned boats lasting too long.
