Thunderbird Products

Thunderbird was started as a boat company by Woodie Woodson in 1956 in Miami, Florida. The primary design for Thunderbird boats originally consisted of a tri-hull or cathedral hull design.

Thunderbird was purchased by Alliance Machine and Foundry in 1961, later combined with Formula Boats, and then sold to Fuqua Industries as Thunderbird/Formula in 1969. Vic Porter purchased Thunderbird/Formula from Fuqua in 1976. Vic and his children still own and operate the company today. Formula is now the brand of boats sold, and Thunderbird is the company name itself.

A Thunderbird boat was featured on the original television series "Flipper".
