This is a beautiful boat.  The detail is fabulous and it performed great when it was running.  Kinks in the brushless gear forced Jeff to switch back to the Astro 25 with some success in 2004.  Jeff looks to replace her for the 2005 season.  Undoubtedly for another beautiful boat.

Dewalt Tools:  The boat was built in 1988 as Miss Madison and powered by a Turbo Allison engine.  With the help of the Budweiser crew, the boat was upgraded to turbine power in 1991.  Driven by Mike Hanson, the boat had some very strong finishes as the Dewalt.  The hull is still competing and is will be racing in 2004 as the Oh Boy Oberto.
