Super Brick by mail and within a week I recieved a very nice letter
answering my questions on the Super Brick plus providing me with several
additional designs for power auxilaries that may be able to fulfill my
requirements (Champlain and the WaterVan) You may be interested in these.
If you would like to see these study drawings for these designs let me know
I will upload them to the vault.

Sorry, Michael, I don't have a scanner. The hull it's self is very
similar to Idaho or Wyoming. It falls between in size. Some
interesting accomodation ideas are presented.
I would suggest sending a fax to Bolger and Friends 978-282-1349.
There is no voice phone number available. Include your own phone
number. When I faxed Bolger & Friends, I was pleasantly surprised to
get a return phone call from Phil's wife within a couple of minutes.
After a very informative chat about my intended use, etc., she
suggested Dakota, and a couple of other possibilities. As soon as the
call ended, I received several pages of fax information about the
plans we had discussed. I have found Bolger & Friends to be very
prompt and easy to deal with.

Is it possible for you to provide elevations to the vault?
