I got to know Lowell through our phone conversations,
talking to him about this 500PRO boat he built
for Dan Kirts in the early '80s
He was pleased to know it was still 'around', and valued.
30 years later it still looks fast. Early 2000 he built a 350PRO replica
that I saw run in FL, c2005, and ran well.
He certainly was one of the innovators in our sport.
