Notes about the Real Boat: A brand new boat for the Ellstrom family in 2014, this livery was raced with Kip Brown as driver. After an accident and Kip suffered a neck injury, Jean Theoret took over driving at the race in Doha, Qatar. Theoret also drove the boat with this livery in 2015. The boat also ran in 2016 as the Oh Boy! Oberto at Tri-Cities and Seattle, with a classic Oberto color and design scheme.
