 This is a small, round nosed boat that will be running on 14 cells.  Should be exciting to watch.  The boat saw a lot of action in 2004, but may be retired when his new boat arrives for 2005.

Info about the real boat: Built in 1975 with turbo Allison power.  As the Candyman, she ran with twin 454 Chevy engines.
