   It has a very unique design and Mike did a great job of building it.  I've been told that he actually climbed under the tarp and took photos of the cockpit while the aged boat sat outside waiting to be restored.   In 2004 the model immediately became a club favorite among drivers.

About the real boat: 

This is an unusal design and gave the Slo-mo’s a good run in the early 50’s. The boat is now being restored by the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum.
