Brigham City is about 20 minutes from where I live. This is probably like about 6 or 7 similar manufacturers around here that tried to make cheap boats for scouting during that same period of time. None of them were well designed and they tended to be very heavy using a thik mat type of glass.
: Hull Identification Number (HIN) search came up with this.
: TCF THOMPSON COMPOSITE ENGINEERNG 156 S 800 W BRIGHAM CITY UT.
: It will need some positive floating if there is none already. Air
: Bags or Storage flotation bags would be good as already
: recommended and some end toggles or loops would be the minimum
: requirements. Throw a simple scab patch on the damaged area and
: play with it cautiously a bit to see if you like it. Personally
: I would not put much time and money into this 35 year old kayak.
: The hull looks a bit canoe shaped. Is the cockpit round or
: teardrop shaped?

: Best,
