The model:  Mark built this boat to combat his nemesis beverage boat, Dale Schroeder's Miss Michelob.  This rivalry has grown between the friends and will likely encourage some fierce, fun racing in 2012.

The real boat:  This boat started life as the Tahoe Miss in 1964.  It was later reconfigured, modified and repainted a few times and ran as the Harrah's Club before Bernie little campaigned it as the Budweiser Malt Liquor in 1971.  The boat raced as Mister Fabricator in 1973-75.
