Yes. In 2002 it looked like the top gun was going to be won by someone not from the lake area. Miss Bud entered at the last minute ran and stole it back.
Budweiser was the main Shootout Sponsor back then.

Hi,
Wouldn't be a good idea. They are built to turn left, not right. They are good in up to 18 inches or so waves and 20 MPH or less wind, but only at speed, they can't go less than 80 +/- without stuffing in bigger water, there is no neutral or reverse, fuel lasts about 13 minutes. Otherwise, cool idea!

Those do make nice wall art.

Found this picture where an old friend of mine has one hanging on his wall. Not sure of it's history, but fits nicely with his car collection...

Its a great collection down here in SW FLA. Its housed in a old Walmart just to give you an idea of how big it is. 99% GM and one of every year Corvette.

Along with Chevelle, Camaro, GTO, and El Camino, many of them BB, 4spd, air cars...

First noticed that Bud H1 turbine parked in back last time I was there. Rick's not known for collecting replicas, especially if he purchased the matching tow truck with it. So I'm guessing that's not the same boat we're discussing...

Steve your a FL guy, ya know the history of this one?
