The model:  Craig Bradshaw built the boat originally and it was bought by Brad from a guy named Roger May in the summer of 2010.  The boat was set up by Brian Buass and runs very fast.  Brian drove it in its CT debut at the 2010 Silver Cup.

The real boat:  Owned by A.A. Snell and driven by Marion Cooper.  The boat's name was changed to Coral Reef in 1958 to to correspond with Snell's company name change from Rocket Gasoline to Coral Reef.  The boat also ran under the names of Miss San Diego, Waferer's Club Lady and Atlas Van Lines.
