The model:  Tim bought this boat for 2014 from Mike Krone and did a complete refurbish of the paint and replaced the graphic on the boat as well.  The boat looks fantastic and we hope to see it on the water often.  Nice work Tim!

The real boat:  The new 1984 boat showed promise until it blew over and had to be rebuilt.  It came back in 1985 with a new tail and a cutaway section on the outside part of the center section in an attempt to reduce aerodynamic lift on that side of the boat.
