The model:  This is a striking model that Nelson debuted in 2019. Nelson is a true hydroplane guy. He even has a truck and trailer to tow the boat with. The boat hull came from West Coast Custom Boats and Nelson did a great job finishing the build and detail work. He is figuring out the running gear setup that will work best for it, but he and the boat are a welcome addition to the club.

The real boat:  The boat's owner, Charlie Wiggins, was approached by Larry Oberto to help the company celebrate their 100th Anniversary by running the boat under Oberto colors and sponsorship in the Tri-Cities and Seattle. The beautiful boat was driven by Cal Phipps and certainly turned a lot of heads with it's flashy green and red graphics reflecting the sun's rays.
