The model:  Bryan bought this boat from Dan Clark for 2013 and earned a podium finish at the Atomic Cup with it.  His plan is to eventually convert the boat into the Shu-Shu, one of his favorites, when he gets some extra time to work on it.

The real boat:  This boat was a former Notre Dame and Shu-Shu that was bought by Bernie Little for 1967 after the accident destroyed his primary race boat and took the life of Bill Brow.  New driver, Mike Thomas surprised everyone by driving the boat to a British Columbia Cup win.  The boat was replaced in 1968 with a brand new boat built for Bernie Little by Ed Karelsen.
