The model:  This is another beauty from Mark Beatty's shop.  This 2-Wing boat's center section wing was shaped in foam and skinned with fiberglass to get the proper shape before melting out the foam with gasoline. The boat handled very well right out of the box, got some testing during off season and is a great performer in 2014.

The real boat:  This innovative design by the Bud crew was to take advantage of the unlimited power prior to the more restrictive rules implimentation.  It qualified well, but was always shelved to defer to the primary boat on race day.  It wasn't until later in 95 when the primary boat was damaged, that replacement driver Mark Evans drove the boat in a race for the injured Chip Hanauer. Later in life, the deck was filled in and the boat was sold and became a successful Llumar Window Film boat for new owner Bill Wurster. It just so happened that Mark Evans was hired by Bill to do the driving.
