The model:  Pete ran this hull in 2013 as the Ultra Bold and Dash. After being damaged badly in the last race of 2013, the hull was sanded down, modified and transformed into the 94 Bud.   He added a new cowling, cockpit, wings, tailpipe, tiplets and a unique fin on the right sponson tip, designed to reduce lift going into the turns. The boat had been fast and steady for years prior to becoming the CT 2019 season points champion in Division 3.

The real boat:  This boat represents the first “Red Rocket” when Budweiser broke from the traditional gold, red, and white paintjob.  1994 started with driver Chip Hanauer, but a series of mishaps and crashes kept him out of the cockpit for much of the season.
