I am also considering the purchase of a Thompson boat, specifically, a 1990
Adventurer 288 (29' fiberglass twin inboard). If anyone has any experience
with or has owned this model (1988-1991), I would appreciate any information
you can share.

Thanks,
Steve

Thompson's do not have a good reputation. You might wish to read Pascoe's
report,
for what it's worth.

Has ayone heard of problems with Thompsom boats concerning the quality
and
structural safety?

I've read some articles about how Thompson boats were poorly made and
that they
had problems with the transoms cracking and certain models that nose
dived
(submarined) into waves instead of riding on top of them. Any input
would be
greatly appreciated
