The model:  This is a refurbishing of Dave's trusty 78 Circus Circus that he raced for a few years with pretty good results.  Dave decided to put the Notre Dame paint scheme on it for 2008 and he did a good job on it.  The boat is still very fast and seems to handle the wind and rough water very well.

The real boat: This boat was one of the many Ron Jones hulls running in the early 1970,s.  Dean Chenoweth temporarily gave up his job with Miss Budweiser to drive this boat.  The boat lost a sponson in one race and was really never the same after being repaired.  This was the last Notre Dame hull owned by Shirley McDonald.
