I have a 1968 thompson 20' runabout. It has a Eaton outdrive and a 231 Ford Interceptor engine. I am in need of the shifter cable and throttle cable. If anyone has an idea where I might find these please let me know. If you know of someone who could actually make them I would be interested in that also.
Thanks,
Glenn |

called them but they couldn't give me any help. Basically they told me to sell the boat while it was still running. |

found the cables. Actually they are still being made and used in todays boats. Don't give up on your old boats. There are parts out there you just have to be of the mind to not give up. |
