2001 Hydromania
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, at noon, right before the scheduled races. The vintage display was outside the regular pit area, where the spectators could see the boats up close and ask questions.
