The model:  Curt finished this boat and debuted it in 2019. It suffered from new boat setup gremlins but Curt kept asking questions and making suggested changes. By the end of the season, the boat showed signs of being a top notch competitor, as did Curt. We look forward to good things to come for this combination.

The real boat:  The very large boat, originally designed to run with two Allison engines, debuted in 1957 with mahogany decks. A few years later it was painted white to match the new Miss Thriftway color scheme. Col. Russ Schleeh drove the boat in 1960.
