| The boats are divided into 4 categories and then
tabled by Hydroplane (by class), then followed by Outboard, Flatbottom
& International. Each category is listed alphabetically by one of the
most unique facets of any motorsports. The race boats were given names!
HISTORICAL
As you read through the biographys of these antique,
vintage & historic racing boats you will see they typically have a
very rich history. The fact that most of these racing hulls had many owner/drivers/name/class
changes in their racing career underscores all the fun boat racing gave
to their past owners. Some of these boats had distinguished careers by
winning Divisional, National or High Points Championships or set a competition
or straightaway speed record. Some, may have never even won a race.
RESTORATION
This category has boats undergoing restoration
work. A few boats were beyond restoration & are being totally rebuilt.
Some of the original hulls don't exist today & are being replicated
by new owners.
PRESENT
The dedication to keeping these old racing boats
going & pride of ownership is very much reflected by their owners today.
This section can include completed restoration projects and/or as-raced
condition raceboats & how they appear today.
