The boat has affectionately been referred to as the "Mist Madison". Instead, The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum put together a replica of that Miss Madison, using the Savair's Mist hull in her place. The original Miss Madison from that time, couldn't be repaired and restored in time for the movie.

On a final note, here's a little trivia from the movie: -The driver of the miss Budweiser at the time was actually, the late Dean Chenoweth (His surviving family probably didn't give their consent to use his name).

This will be a good movie for the hydro fan as well as a ports fan. It had many good qualities, like the father/son storyline and the city and race team's struggles, like I mentioned. That being said, when I look at the movie overall, I liked it, despite it's faults. I'm not saying that what you saw in the movie doesn't happen, but to me, it's very rare. Miss Budweiser owner, the late, Bernie Little for example, has done this over the years because he has said, it is important to have those boats out on the racecourse competing. Many times I've seen when one race team is in trouble, especially the smaller race "camps" ones like the Miss Madison, I've seen many competing race teams help each other out, by sending their pit crew members to the troubled race camp, or loaning them parts for their boat, so they can race. Although it is very true that there are many rivalries in the sport and it looks good in the storyline, it seems seldom that you see this attitude all the time as was depicted. The "us vs them" attitude in the movie or "David vs Goliath". I assume they wanted to show Seattle, since it has a longtime history in the sport, like Detroit, but they moved it up about a month early, when it usually follows Madison and the date has traditionally been on the first weekend of August. It seems like they insulted Detroit I can see many longtime Detroit hydro race fans are insulted over this.
Peter’s Community and enjoyed working with his hands and tinkering with bicycles. Gastelum was a maintenance man for a local golf course for the past 10 years. He was born on Octoin Fallbrook, CA, where he lived until his passing. If they wanted to show another race site in a big city, why didn't they use Detroit? It was the 3rd race on the circuit that year and it has a longtime history in the sport. Roldolfo Rudy Gastelum, 42, passed away on April 17, 2006. The second race on the circuit was in Chicago. The All red paint scheme of the Miss Budweiser, was not used by owner Bernie Little and the race team until 1994.What disappointed me about the movie was, I sort of felt that Hollywood was trying to alter hydroplane history and facts. For those unfamiliar with the sport, the Gold Cup is the oldest motor sports trophy and is one of the most coveted races every hydro team wants to win. I Also liked the story of how the city of Madison, Indiana's struggle to host the American Powerboat Association (APBA), Gold Cup. Except I used to race wooden hydroplanes with my friends on my parent's lawn and I had hydro pictures and posters on my wall. I especially liked Jake Lloyd's character, Mike McCormick, because in some ways, it reminded me of my childhood. It's easy to tell, that unlimited hydroplane racing is in their blood. I liked the story about father and son's and the love of the sport. Needless to say, I've waited nearly 6 years for the movie. David Catholic Church in Davie.Being an unlimited hydroplane "nut" (I grew up on the sport and lived only 12 miles away from the Seattle racecourse) I've been excited about this movie's release, since I first heard about it as far back as 1999 when I was at the General Motors Cup at Seafair race. Niesel is survived by his three children nephews and nieces and sister, Trudy Seiffert. "The kids in school want to name the kickball field after him," Rovetto said.

Niesel's class Tuesday at Silver Ridge Elementary and told the students that their dad would want them to continue learning and to always put education before anything else - even sports - Rovetto said. "You know what I like about you? You look like you have fun on the court and that's what an athlete needs," she recalled him saying. Niesel inspired Sampson to pursue her interests in sports. "He was so fun and dedicated and motivational," she said. "He is - was - my favorite teacher," said Sampson, tears forming in her eyes.
