I created my own little webpage devoted to THOMPSON BOATS et.al. Take a gander: www.freewebs.com/thompsonboat/index.htm

I've seen your boat(s) at BSLOL events. Very nice site...esp. historical photos. We appear to be similar vintage.

Andreas...

Nice work, but lose the free website host.....website hosting is next to nothing these days.

Free is better than paying! I have NO budget to spend on a website, so free it will be.

Very well done. I have two Thompson boats in my collection both from the Cortland factory. My neighbor John has two Cruisers Inc. in his. Nice to have a reference site. Keep up the great work.

Andreas - the web site doesn't work using Firefox (pictures did not load) and it didn't take me long to get tired of clicking through ads. I opened your page briefly using IE and it looks like a nice site - it's a shame it's "covered" up with all that white noise (sponsored ads etc.).

Do yourself a favour and move your site to here:

http://www.freeservers.com/.

They offer a (free) banner supported site as well, but their code is properly written and works with all browsers. I've been with them for seven or eight years now and have absolutely no complaints. They have a whole set of templates etc. you can use or you can write your own site in HTML if you like - your choice.

In as much as I don't want to rain on your parade, I'm not going back to visit your site as it is now - WAY too many concerns about how the site is hosted and presented (by the host, not by you) . I simply refuse to support sites like that - they're too shifty/sneaky for my liking.

Let me know if you switch - I'd love to spend some time seeing all your hard work.
