The model:  Nels had this boat built in 2011 as a sister teammate to his 63 Tahoe Miss.  The boat was fast and seems to handle well.  David Newton purchased the boat in 2019 and made a few improvements of his own. The boat performance has improved and we look forward to seeing it in 2020.

The real boat:  1966 Gold Cup and National champion driven by Mira Slovak “the flying Czech”.  In the year of so many accidents and fatalities in the sport, the boat held together well and had blazing speed from the Allison Turbo when it was needed.
