The model:  Mark tested this new boat during the off season, but didn't put it into competition until the Atomic Cup in 2011 where it performed admirably.  This is another pretty boat from Mark's shop.  At this point it is unknown if it will get the nod or the boot for 2012.

The real boat:  The mighty "Green Dragon" dominated competition from 1963-1965, winning three straight National Championships with driver Ron Musson.  This was the third, and arguably the most successful Miss Bardahl of the group.
