Hi I’m Tim. Although i’m not new to boating it’s been a few years since I’ve had a motorboat. I just bought a thunderbird model #AP 07 48 I would Really like some info on this boat Really like some info on this boat Like any information I need to get a motor for it I understand max horsepower is 225hp. But that’s all I know. Also where can I get Thunderbird parts? Ie Windshield latch/locks and lights would also love to know what year this boat is. Thank you so much

However I'm not sure it is the right forum for you - this is a canal / river boat forum. I don't think there is any expertise here on fast power boats with 225hp etc. Sorry!

I used to look after a Fairline Carrera that had a Volvo KAD 32 - 2.4l supercharged and turbocharged 170bhp Diesel. Nice little engine to work on that. Fair amount of experience with GM 4 cylinder 3.0L petrol and 4.3l V6 as used by Mercruiser in both boats and FLT'S - the V6s in LPG variant. That said, all the above are too juicy for my pocket 🙈👍 Can't help with the Thunderbird though 😁

I think @nemesis might know a bit about hydroplanes as well.
I had a little hydroplane years ago and did go to a couple of races on Oulton broad but never got into the scene properly.
It did look like a lot of fun.

It did look like a lot of fun. I know they exist, and I have some plans for one which will plane with a 10hp engine (available on request) and that's about it.
