My dad and I restored one of the original 23' Thunderbird Iroquois that was used in the Flipper program . We purchased our Thunderbird from the Vice president of National Airlines who purchased the boat from Ivan Torres the producer's of the Flipper program . Our boar had twin Mercruiser 120 hp Marine engines with Mercruiser #1 outdrives . My dad and I restored our boat to like new condition . We used our boat for four or five years until we traded up for a Wellcraft Nova . I grew up and lived in Miami Florida for 39 years . I am presently a marine seevice technician and a dealer for Mercruiser products . I know a lot about Thunderbird / Formula marine products , if you ever need any information on your boat or Mercruiser products let me know . Good luck with your boat , there aren't many of these boats left .
