The model:  Mike built this model for the 2007 season and used a new material to build it.  The structure is built almost entirely out of a type of styrofoam posterboard.  It also has fiberglass resin over the top.  The boat has experienced some glitching problems.  It is powered by a larger Mega brushed motor with plenty of torque.  He's working through some of the new boat blues, but he'll get a handle on this great looking boat soon.

The real boat:  This is one of the boats driven by the legendary driver, Bill Muncey.  This is the last of the long line of Miss Thriftway's that Muncey drove.
