The model:  Brad bought the boat from Terry Harmer and won the ERCU 2010 Presidents Cup with it.  Recently, he had his crew chief, Brian Buaas put the magic touches on it for him.  The boat made its CT debut at the 2010 Silver Cup and showed some real good speed.  Look for more of the same from the Spirit in the future.  

 

The real boat:  The boat was owned and driven by Dave "Salt" Walther.  The boat began life as the Notre Dame in 1972 and ran under a bunch of different names into the 1980's including Northwest Tank Service, Technicolor and Miss Budweiser.
