    Bend CL
    I'm sure someone will identify it. The person I tried to talk to at the number knows little about it and said she was the only one who lives there. Riley is about 100 miles from Bend.

    I was told what that was and forgot it as you see so few of them.
    There was one down just off that little tag road next to the Columbia were its getting close to Haden Island. It was in a parking area just setting.

    Not to many of those around but I am thinking its only a 14 footer.
    Could be 15 or 16, but narrow like a 14 would be..

    Found the photo, says Thunderhawk but really, no clue....

      The real challenge on this CL listing is finding the town of Riley. Google map shows a post office and essentially nothing else.

        Helmar and Bruce,
        The one in Bend is the the Thunderhawk Sr version which has the narrow walk-thru section......Usually only see 1959 or the 1961 but never a 1960.
        The smaller most definitely is the Jr. version which was made in 14`.
        A glass window of a 16` Glasspar Citation will fit right on the Sr version as I had both boats at the same time and used the Larson to hold the Glass safely while painting the topsides.
        That rear of the Bend hull is way better than the one I rescued from Montlake,half-sunk and with a hammer hole right into one seat chamber.
        That hull also has the hull seam Chopper("Rand" Gun in this age) gunned until smooth and even with rubrail Flange glass wiped out ,it would still had a strong connection.
        Still have the fiberglass seatback forms I splashed while doing the interior but then saved the old ones which had steam-bent Oak strips the upholstery needed so it could be stapled.
        Wish it was 300 miles closer.....
        Jeff Ault found me a red lens off one the Tribes used to tow behind their 4 x4s along the Puyallop River.....
        Go get yours and we`ll race!
