Bud boat ?

Andy Greene · Feb 20, 2016

Anyone know anything about this boat - I tripped across it in my travels while working today in Bradenton Fl .

Appears to be a display boat - fixed front canard - but I could be wrong .

Was pretty cool to see though

It's a display boat.

Display. Might be the one that kept popping up on Ebay

How many of those are around ??

Display or not would be nice to have!!!!

It's a display boat. We've had people, over the years say it has raced as a Bud and so on but no. If it was a Winston or similar, the canards wouldn't be solid. I've never seen any pictures or video at a race with that style of cowl. The biggest clue, however, is that Dave Villwock never drove any hull other than T-3, T-5 or T-6 while driving for Bernie Little. It was in T-3 that he almost lost his hand in a Tri-Cities blowover

....and as I recall, the guy who had this on eBay had all kinds of false claims and wanted a stupid amount of money for it.

Not knowing much about unlimited hulls, I agree with a display boat - REAL race boats don't travel with a high $ race prop bolted on (-;
