Great stuff! Unlimited Hydroplanes are the most beautiful form of motor sport. Big, powerful hulls racing on an ever-changing course, throwing a huge roostertail of water at 200 miles per hour. And a glorious history of famous boats, owners and drivers...people like Gar Wood, Bill Muncey and Chip Hanauer. Nothing like it!
