Love the vintage hydro's, they sound like racers not hair dryers. Please keep posting more videos of the boats. You can learn so much form just watching which boat is sponsored by who at each race..

I have always wondered...Where is all the footage from Sand Point '74 - The Gold Cup?...or better yet...Seafair '73 KING TV?....The one heat from '74 is on YOU TUBE -- Perfect as one would like.......Was all the rest destroyed?

The fastest of the Karelsen boats. But not a winner.

I don't know how it was then, but now days it doesn't matter where you finish, everyone takes home $10,000. One team also takes home a trophy. The team that sells the most advertisements wins. $10K a race probably doesn't cover travel expenses. It is a heck of a show though.
