Like any boat, you have to check for rot. If there's rot you either rebuild it or pass on it.
As far as brand Thompson is one of the classics.

It was well built... 26 years ago. No telling what condition the hull, transom and stringers are in now. If you don't know how to determine that, find someone who can before you spend a dime. Current condition, not the manufacturer, means everything in a boat that old.
