The model:  Bill bought this hull from Craig Bradshaw's shop. It was said to be one the Craig Mullen had made from Henry Marvin's molds and didn't have time to complete. A few years later, after having Mitch Dillard do the paint job, Bill geared it up and started tweaking the ride. He later applied the graphics and raced it at four CT events in 2021. The boat is plenty fast, but rather flighty. Bill is getting it dialed in and we hope to see this beauty on the water during the coming seasons. It's one of the prettiest boats out there.

The real boat:  This boat dominated the unlimited season in 1992 and 93 after Bernie Little's hiring of Chip Hanauer. They won back to back championships those two years and were just getting started. Chip won seven races in 1992 and became the first ever to run a test lap at an average of more than 170 mph in San Diego.
