Hull #7612

Bernie Little's entry for the 1976 season was this boat, and he ran the "conventional" style hull until 1978. With the construction of the first Griffin Bud for the 1979 season, he sold the boat. The boat ran under a variety of names for the rest of its career, including the U-3 Thousand Trails in 1981, U-30 Miss Prodelco in 1982, U-7 American Speedy Printing Too in 1983, and U-96 Lite All Star II in 1984. The boat was stripped and parts were used to build the #8803 hull, then the rest was hauled to a land fill by Mark and Mitch Evans.

Ron Snyder piloted the boat in all seven races in 1978. It collected one win at the Columbia Cup in the Tri-Cities en route to finishing second in national high points.
