Dumas Thompson Trawler

[Boogie Man]

Has anyone here ever built a Dumas Thompson Trawler? I bought a used one that is not completed, or really even started. What I need that didn't come with it are all the wood pieces to build the stringers and deck, etc.
I would appreciate any info., tips, advice, etc.

are you still messing with the thompson trawler? I have started one but as you are looking for, I am to looking for any pictures or anyone that has built one, this seems to be a rare bird, I've searched just about everwhere, I even tried to find any actual pictures of some built by thompson industries in titusville, fl but no luck, anyone out there have anything???

You didn't pick up the Jan 2006 issue of Ships in Scale? Great Lakes regatta coverage included a great TT by Ken Guindon.

Thanks for the photo Pat! I'm new to all these forums I've been on, but sure have been learning a lot. This is one the best ones among a few others. I really enjoyed your home page and all of its info and ideas. By the way did you ever recover your Texaco Tanker?
