The model:  A brand new scratch build of one of Mike's earliest boats. He's run a couple revisions of the same hull and is quickly showing some great performance.

The real boat:  This was one of two cabover pickle-forked boats that attempted to run using twin automotive power in the early 70's.  Neither one succeeded and eventually this one was converted to Rolls Merlin power and was redesigned to seat the driver behind the engine.  It went on to be a very successful Pay'n Pak boat and was later successful as a Miss Budweiser too.
