The model:  This is a new boat for 2010 that Gene built as an upgrade to the one he had in 2009.  This is his second scratch built version of this boat and you can bet he's put in some of the things he wanted, but didn't have in the first one.  This is a nice boat and it should perform well.

The real boat:  This boat started life as the second Hallmark Homes in 1971.  It then became the Vans PX before running as the first Red Man.
