| There were 12 hydroplanes and 1 runabout
representing the Vintage class at this year's Hydromania.
The breakdown was as follows: 2 - Gran Prix, 1 -J class, 2 - six Litre, 1 - 280 class, 2 - 225 class, 1 - 850 class, 1 - Unlimited, and 3 outboards. Six hydros all ran together, on Sunday,

the regular pit area, where the spectators could see the boats up close
and ask questions.
