The model:  This is a beautiful boat built for Ron in 2014.  It was built from the molds of Craig Bradshaw of West Coast Custom Boats. Craig did an excellent job with the paint and finishing. For the past several years, the boat has been a top performer in CT. Ron has driven the boat to several race wins and the 2018 season championship.

The real boat:  This boat came on to the scene in 2007 with driver Steve David as Oberto's newest and fastest race boat.  The boat achieved national championships in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. After Steve David's retirement, 2013 champion driver Jimmy Shane took over behind the wheel of the boat for 2014 with the same great boat with a new Oberto paint scheme.
