The model:   Pete had ordered a carbon hull but due to the time crunch, decided to scratch build the hull myself.  The boat was built, painted, and on the water in less than two weeks.  Thanks for help with the rapid build go to Gene Melang for providing all the wood, and Mitch Dillard for taking time out of his own VERY busy boat program to pull the cowling.

The real boat:  Ed Karelsen built this hull (a duplicate to the Miss Bardahl he had built in 67) for owner Bernie Little in 68 and it was almost immediately successful, bringing the Bud team championships in 69, 70 and 71.
