This one was a bit interesting to make, especially with how it ended. If you have seen the original TUGS episode, you may recall that the story ended with Boomer's schooner getting struck by lightning, and then he was rebuilt into a houseboat, which was his happy ending. Salty's Lighthouse had two stories about Boomer, the first adapts most of the original story, which is a majority of what you're hearing here. The second is about Ten Cents telling Zip and Zug about Boomer and in that one, Ten Cents mentions about Boomer becoming a vacation boat. The latter isn't used at all in the Lighthouse Edit version. I would imagine Unlucky Tug found it very difficult to implement the houseboat part into the story since there was no dialogue about that part of the story outside of Sunshine saying "You really look great, Boomer." Perhaps he could have had there be a Captain Star narration that says, "And after Boomer successfully took that schooner out without anything going wrong, he discovered about vacation boats and asked me if he could be made into one. I said yes and in no time, Boomer was made into a vacation boat. Boomer enjoyed meeting new people all the time and showing them around his new home. Especially since his jinx had finally gone." Maybe at some point, I'll try doing that myself.
It did seem odd for me to do this parody video since in my series, I had Lucas from the AoSTH episode, Best Hedgehog, portraying Boomer since, when I first started doing these videos, I had thought that Lucas was the perfect fit for Boomer, and since he was covered in hair for most of the episode due to him not getting a haircut for thirty years since he was locked in Robotnik's dungeon, I used footage of him in that state to portray Boomer for most of the episode, and then at the end, I used the footage of Lucas after Tails gave him a haircut at the end of the episode. However, footage of post-haircut Lucas was very limited since Lucas never made another appearance in the show. He was one of the many one-off characters who only appeared once and then never appeared again. My point is that because Unlucky Tug didn't have the Lighthouse Edit episode end with Boomer becoming a houseboat, I couldn't have this video end with Lucas getting a haircut. I'm not sure if that would be a happy ending to have your hair grow so long for thirty years and then the story ends without you getting a haircut. I did the best that I could though and I hope you still enjoy it.
There is also the factor that Unlucky Tug had added in a scene of Boomer bumping Izzy Gomez into a pear, using footage he took from a sizzle reel. I assumed that footage came from the 20-minute cut of the original episode, which we currently do not have the last time I checked. We only have the 15-minute cut. So, I had to use some extra footage for that scene.
