The model:  This is a conversion of Brent's 66 Miss U.S.  Pete Schille built the Bobtail cowling and Brent did the prep work.  Mark Beatty put on the finishing touches with a nice paint job for 2009.

The real boat:  Bill Muncey was one of the drivers of this boat in the late 1960's with its unique Bobtailed rear cowling.  The boat later became a Miss Timex in 1972.
