Boat Statistics
The model: Mark had bought this hull from Jeff Campbell a few years back and never finished it. He decided to modify the sponsons a bit and paint it up as the Oly. Mark raced it for a while in 2010 before selling it to Dan. Dan was behind the wheel of the boat for the first time at the 2010 Gold Cup. The real boat: This boat was formerly the Valu-Mart and Weisfields before being sponsored by Olympia Beer. Billy Schumacher drove the very successful boat and had a realistic shot at the Gold Cup Championship and season title in 76 until the boat lost a sponson during the Gold Cup and missed two races. Instead they were left running a leased backup boat and watching Tom D'Eath win his first Gold Cup and Bill Muncey's Atlas Van Lines walk away with the season championship.
