Unlimited Bio:

|
Originally built in 1967 as the "Blonde Bombshell" Miss Bardahl. After Bardahl retired from the sport at the conclusion of the 1969 racing season, Bernie Little bought the craft as a back-up hull for his Karelsen designed Miss Budweiser. He entered the boat in the first race of the 1970 season in Florida to fill out the field. It raced as U13, Miss Budweiser II (the "II" designation was applied with regular silver duct tape)!
