The model: Steve Dumanis built this boat for Gene's second season with CT.  Gene has been a fan of Red Man boats for a long time and also runs a 73 version in Division 1.  

The real boat:  This is the second boat that campaigned as a Red Man.  Driver Skipp Walter was killed after being tossed out of the boat when it hooked.  This boat started out as the Country Boy back in 1971 and ran under various names until 1983.
