Udderly Fantastic
Anyone know what ever became of the old race boat "Udderly Fantastic" once campaigned by dairy farmer Andy Trauth?
I believe it was a 35' Motion cat racing in modified class under the unique numbers M-00 (of course).
I think Barry of Cat-Can-Do ran it briefly, but I haven't seen it since the Huron, Ohio race that was stormed out several years ago.

I don't know if Andy still owns it but it is currently in the Paso Robles/Lake NAciemento area (North end of Southern California). I see it running almost every time I"m at the lake. Sounds AWESOME!!

I don't think he's in the farmer end of the business. He owns the dairy processing plan, Trauth Dairy in downtown Newport, KY. Super nice guy I haven't seen in years. As I recall, his son ran a boat the was called "The Udder Boat"

Re: Udderly Fantastic
The Udder Boat was a Phanton that ran in the old A-Class. Ryan Beckley ran with Andy last in Factory 3 I believe. After the Factory 3 boat got busted with aluminum fly wheels in the HP500's in F3 Andy never raced again as far as I remember. That was back in 2000.

Andy hasn't raced since.......he still works at Trauth Dairy but it's owned by a big company. He owns AMT powerboats now and also has SEVRAL dragsters with his two sons, Adam and Anthony.
