The model:  Jim bought this hull from Stacy Bradshaw after the passing of her father Craig. He finished it very nicely and is getting his feet wet in the club in 2024. The boat made it's debut and scored points in the Harmsworth Trophy race. Jim's getting some valuable wheel time with this boat and is improving the handling all the time.

The real boat:  This boat started life as the 1960 Miss Burien and first became Savair's Probe in 1965. It competed into the 70s also running as just Probe.
