In my previous post I discussed one of Decatur Indiana’s better know companies Fleetwood American Coach.  While the American Coach may draw owners to the Decatur with their luxury motor homes, Thunderbird does the same with it’s high performance boats and yachts.  Thunderbird which produces a line of high performance Formula boats moved its headquarters and production facilities from South Florida to Decatur, In in March of 1988.  Thunderbird has been producing quality high performance powerboats since the mid 1950’s and is still a leader in the boating industry.  In their 50 years of crafting these high quality boats, they have won numerous awards including its most recent : “Boat of the Year” in 2006 by Powerboat Magazine.  Even though Decatur, In is a small rural community, high quality luxury products like Thunderbird’s Formula powerboats help to put us on the national map.
