The model:  Ken bought on of Gene Melang's Red Man hulls and rebuilt it as the 81 Oh Boy! Oberto. He did a good job on the rebuild and detail work. The boat runs well too. It finished in the middle of the pack in season points, but looked faster each time he brought it out. More time and experimentation will no doubt pay off in 2020.

The real boat:  The boat was originally built in 1973 and was campaigned in 1981 under the Oberto name. The boat was driven well enough by Scott Pierce to earn a 4th place finish in season points behind Miss Budweiser, Miss Madison and Atlas Van Lines.
