The model:  New for 2010 from Mark's very productive shop.  He decked the boat with real mahogany and did a great job with it.  The boat seems to run very well and should be a good performer for him.

The real boat:  This is the first Miss Thriftway driven by a young Bill Muncey in 55-57 before being destroyed in one of Muncey's many amazing incidents.  This boat was designed by Ted Jones and is an identical hull to the Shanty I.
