The model:  Mark built this boat for 2009 and states this is the lightest boat he's ever built.  The boat has a great ride and is super fast right out of the box.  It debuted with a win in its first race.  This one's a front-runner.

The real boat:  "Wild" Bill Cantrell took his final ride in an unlimited in competition in 1968 driving this boat part time.
