The model:  The beautiful model of the "Gray Ghost" was originally finished by Dan as the 66 Tahoe Miss.  Dan was good enough to change the boat into the 64 version so that another member could race his own model of the 66. Dan does a fantastic job with the finish work on his models and pays great attention to detail.

The real boat:  The proverbial "Gray Ghost" was the 1964 TAHOE MISS, owned by Bill Harrah. She was driven in 1964-65 by Chuck Thompson and in 1966 by Mira Slovak.  The Allison-powered "Gray Ghost" TAHOE MISS was arguably the last truly competitive Unlimited hydroplane to be designed by Les Staudacher.
