Both the Bud boats from when Bernie died are still racing today. This boat was converted to a standard design because it just didn’t perform as well as expected. It went on to win quite a few races even. Then with the dissolution of the Budweiser team both the boats were bought by Formula Boats, and races for them for a few years.

The back and forth between the Bud and The Pac (Miss Pay-n-Pack) as well as the Atlas Van Lines were epic. The Bud was faster in the corners, but the Pac was faster in the straights... set up classic and exciting racing that tested the skill of both pilots to get the absolute best out of their machines.
