The model:  Pete built this boat in 2018 and raced it for the first time in 2019, finishing a close 2nd place in season points.  Dan Clark added the boat to his fleet and started racing it in 2021. Dan then retired the boat and eventually sold it back to Pete in 2024. Pete geared it up again and promptly drove the boat to a Seafair win on a windy Waughop Lake. It was the first race he entered with it after getting it back, nice!

The real boat:  This most successful Miss Bardahl won three championships in a row from 62-64 with Ron Musson driving. It was later replaced by the ill-fated cabover bardahl in 1966.
