Burrows,

 

Attached is a link to a website for Thompson owners.  It may give you a good starting place to find the spec's for your boat.

 

Good Luck!

Another good place to look for info is this site

 

http://www.thompsondockside.com/

 

Andreas, The owner of this site has a lot of info on Thompsons going back to the very beginnings and has a lot of documentation that he got his hands on after Thompson went belly up.  He even had the actual build sheet for my 1986 in his possession.  The site is mostly devoted to the older woodies, but Andreas will help you out if he can.

 

In 77, they were still located in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, things started going downhill after they were sold and the operation moved to St Charles, Michigan.

Are there any distinguishing markings on the boat that look like any of those model names?

So far what I've seen is that it just says Thompson

Is there a Hull ID No stamped on the outside of the Transom?  It would be on the far starboard side.

How about a Coast Guard weight/capacity plate at the helm?  That boat might be old enough that it may have been before they were mandatory.

Didn't even think about looking for it to tell you the truth or I over looked it I will be going back up after awhile I will find out then thank you for all the help
