My Great Uncle, Jack Sweeney, had a summer Home on Chautauqua Lake back in the late 40s & all the 1950s near Bemus Point. He also had a Chris Craft like this one. His wife's name was "Gladis" and he had 1 Son (Jack Jr.) and 1 Daughter. His main home was in Buffalo and he owned the Genesis (sp ?) Hotel in Buffalo. Any chance you might know of him or his heirs or be related? If so, PLEASE contact me... I'm 77 yrs old and would LOVE to make contact with my family in the Jamestown, NY and Chautauqua Lake area. I can be contacted at email or by phone at (408) 972-2121 if you leave voice message. Thanks. Nick Anderson
Sounded like the idle was set @ 2300RPM? My '55 CC w/a Model K 6cyl is set for 550RPM for idle. I did not see or hear the gurgling of water coming out the pipe either.
