The model: Ken has been known to perform nice boat conversions. This latest one follows his reputation. He converted his Red Man into this 1975 Atlas Van Lines model. The boat ran well right out of the box and keeps improving all every time it hits the water. Look for good things from this one moving forward. It debuted at the 2022 Silver Cup. Ken has added 3D printing to his skills. The boat's driver and tail came off of his 3D printer.

This boat was designed and built to resemble, and hopefully follow in the successes of, the 74 Pay'n Pak. Unfortunately for Bill Muncey and the team, it missed the mark badly and was a disappointment in almost every way. The boat was replaced after only one season of racing, ironically, by the boat is was built to resemble. Muncey went on to dominate the 76 season with the former Pay'n Pak hull renamed Atlas Van Lines.
