The model:  Steve built this boat for the 2009 season.  The boat is light, lively and plenty fast.  It debuted with a second place finish in it's first race.

The real boat:  Built for Bill Boeing and drive by Mira Slovak.  The boat later became U-101.5 Wahoo, broke a lap record with the help of Nitrous Oxide as a Miss Exide and made its final campaign in 1966 as Miss Budweiser.
