The model:  This finished a close 2nd in season points in 2019 and took home the Div 2 championship in 2021. Mitch sold the boat to Bill McGraw before the 2022 season. The boat is really quick and is expected to remain very competitive. Look for Bill to put it out front once he sets it up the way he wants it. It's a beauty on the water.

The real boat:  This boat started it's life as the 67 Parco's O-Ring Miss and was extensively modified into a turbo Allison powered rear engine cabover boat before it's rebirth in 1978. It ran under several different names and sponsors and got its only win in 1986 as a unexpected long shot, running as Miss Bahia in San Diego.
