Brand new boat for newcomer John Dyer in 2004.  This was also John’s first 1/10th scale electic boat.  John may be building a new one using the knowledge gained from the first one.

Info about the real boat: This was the former Pay’n Pak that dominated the early 1970’s before being sold.  It was driven by Bill Muncey and almost swept the ’76 season.  The only race they didn’t win that season was the Gold Cup, where they were defeated by driver Tom D’Eath in the Miss U.S.
