Rob Wilkens at TALON never moved ANYTHING but paper at Talon. Gary Armington built EVER Talon that was ever designed or built and still runs Talon today. Rob was a nice guy and the office manager...
I am not far from englewood if anyone wants me to go look at this boat, I will.

What's the story with that giant crazy lookin' blower?
And this boat is driving me nuts ("a pirate walks into a bar with a ship's wheel sticking out of his pants")... I feel like I've seen pictures of it somewhere recently, but can't remember where. I'll keep looking...

Ryan I can only go by what Rod Tschiggfrie told me as this conversation was only two days ago on the phone. Friend of mine is interested in the Talon
And Rod Tschiggfrie Stated that Rob Wilkens designed the boat when Rod Tschiggfrie ordered the build in 1994. The lay-up, stinger's, and transom
were different due to being built around a #6,........rather than modified
after the fact like most boats.
So anyways Rod Tschiggfrie, said Rob Wilkens would be worth looking up depending how much more info was wanted on the entire boat.
Rod Tschiggfrie as said at that time ( 1994 ) the entire boat was all built by
Women,........because they pay better attension to detail when laying the boats up.
Again this is what he personally told me right or wrong.
Thanks
Jon

Rob Wilkens ran the office / business TALON IS Gary Armington. Most of the girls that worked at Talon also layed up Phantoms and now work at Yellowfin. Gary works on EVERY Talon built. Rob answered the phones & I NEVER saw him get dirty.

Hey I built the moulds for this back in 1988, the first boats were built for the UIM 4 litre class but several were made for 6 litre and many procuced for pleasure, any chance of some pictures of this boat that is for sale.
It was very differant design to the Sportcat 27 which I see also talked about
