The model:  This is a new boat for Gene's second season in CT.  He built the boat himself for 2009 with the help of Mark Beatty.  Gene is quickly figuring out the ins and outs of putting a boat together from scratch.  

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.
