This is a real nice shot of the 1996 Smokin' Joe's that I will be duplicating. While the Joe's has always been my favorite Unlimited, the 1996 hull is the one I like the best. I actually had started on this version in mid '99 but that boat became the 1997 Close Call (which won Best of Show Competition Boat at the 2000 Toledo R/C Expo) when a good friend & racing buddy talked me into it so he could redo his 1993 Winston Eagle as the 1994 Smokin' Joe's, his only other option.
