The model:  Another interesting boat from Pete.  The boat is very unique in design and very light weight.  Early indication is that it's going to be a very competitive boat to deal with.  The thing looks really cool on the water too.

The real boat:  The Winston Eagle "Lobster Boat" is one of the only boats designed by Jim Lucero that you could consider a design failure.  The boat never lived up to expectations and was eventually rebuilt into a more conventional hull.  It had a tendency not to track in a straight line and was really difficult to drive.
