HAPPY NEW YEAR.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The start of a new year signals that all the old vintage hydroplanes and owners, like a very fine wine, are just getting better with age. (Hmm….that sounds good, so I’ll go with that).
\nEvery year new year also brings forth a few more vintage hydroplanes that will be reincarnated back to it’s former glory.<\/p>\n

The latest project seen at John Jenkins shop is a\u00a0blunt nose Jones 145 ci hydroplane vintage (1970?).
\nThe boat is the former TOR-GRE<\/strong> for which is was built for & campaigned by the Barker Family out of western New York state.
\nThe hydro then moved on and became the ANDIAMO<\/strong>\u00a0campaigned by Tony Lamontia in the 1980s (dictionary tells me this boat name is Italian for – “Let’s Go; Hurry Up<\/em>“) .
\nFrom there, it moved on and was campaigned by Jeff Corrigan as WONDERFUL SENSATION<\/strong> and was last raced up into the early 90s when mandatory cell rules were implemented.<\/p>\n

The Lamontia Bros. have acquired this hydroplane and commissioned John Jenkins to restore her\u00a0 as campaigned by their father —\u00a0 ANDIAMO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
