The model:  Jeff built this boat to replace his two-time champion 64 Budweiser hull.  The boat debuted at the 2007 Harmsworth and showed her stuff by winning the first heat she was in.  The boat was sold to a member of PSFEMBC in 2008 and fortunately came up for sale again in 2010.  Brent jumped at the chance to get this nice running boat and it's now back racing in CT.

The real boat:  The boat was the pride of owners Laird Pierce, the father of unlimited driver Scott Pierce, and Earl Noyes.  It was built by Bob Patterson and came from the design table of Chuck Hickling.  It debuted late in the 67 season and performed well with Fred Alter behind the wheel.  The performance gave high hopes for 1968, but the boat never seemed to live up to it's promising start.
