This is Brent's own personal rocket ship.  This boat is powerful and full of potential.  Brent had this boat custom built and has loved this boat since he had a version of it in 1/16th scale way back in the day.  Brent's going to get all he wants out of this one.  It has fabulous detail work on her and looks great on the water.  You can't help but look at it when it's out there.   We expect big things from this boat.

The real boat:  This boat is the first boat to sport a driver canopy and is what many consider the link into the modern era of unlimited hydroplanes as the turbine boats now prevail.  The boat had lots of power provided by a huge Griffon engine, but was never really able to make her mark on the sport.  After many modifications, she basically ran out of time and was eventually replaced by a more modern turbine hull in the Bud fleet.
