I actually had a friend give me a 20" 79 Formula thunder bird and I was wondering if any one has riddin behind one or know how it responds to weight it has a deep v hull! Need some input!

28 yr old boat? your friend is probably thinking..."It's his problem now."

Just kidding, kind of, hope it's in nice shape.
I doubt there will be many here with experience with a 79 thunderbird...I thought I was going to look at a Pontiac.

^^^ That's a good looking boat. Convert it to V-drive and have at it.

A V-drive conversion would be sweet, it could probably be a surfing machine if it were inboard.
