The model:  Brent started racing with this beautiful boat in 2021 as a rookie in CT. It appeared at the Atomic Cup and did extremely well, scoring 1050 points, which is enough to put Brent on the front line as a driver. We look for more good things from this combination of boat and driver.

The real boat:  Designed and built in 1970 by Ron Jones, the boat was orginall a cabover powered by twin v-8 Hemi engines. After that didn't work out for them, the boat was modified. They moved the cockpit behind the engine and outfitted the boat with a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. It became a top contender almost immediately, with Billy Schumacher behind the wheel for most of the season. The boat was replaced with a new Ron Jones hull in 1973, was sold to Bernie Little and ran as Miss Budweiser from 73-75.
