Re: SC fix (pics)
couple emails from dad:
If you have any contact with Jack you need to let him know because he is really the forefather. I just supplied the money. I will comb the files again and see if I can find any others.
and to the model of the Loon, pre-conversion:
I?ve been wracking my brain to remember that. So far I can?t. It was nominally 21 feet long ? really a little less - and was rated at 140 HP. Given that it only weighed 750 pounds ? I think I remember that ? in its native, non Loonified form it was alarmingly fast. We only had tachs so I never knew how fast but there wasn?t anything on the Willamette river that could outrun us. As a historic aside, we found Brown abandoned at the Oaks Park boat ramp the night we brought the loon ? still in native Starcraft form ? in from its first run. He was about ten weeks old and decided he liked us. So he went to live with Jack. A lot of pheasants lived to regret that event. Brown and Blitz were a deadly team. And Brown always got one by himself. He could catch anything in mid air that was so unwise as to break from his point. A point last about the boat. I always thought it was the 21 foot cruiser hull with a little freeboard (and therefore, length) chopped.
