Vintage Unlimited Testing 2003
The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum took to the water again last Tuesday, 6/24, 
here in Seattle for a test session in preparation for their upcoming appearance in Detroit. 
Three boats participated:


1980, U-1 Miss Budweiser. The Griffon boat, driven by museum director, David Williams.
 


Oh Boy Oberto, driven first by Peter Orton, then by Gale Whitestine. 
I believe this is the same hull that starred in the movie 'Madison' as Miss Madison.
 


1960 U-4 Miss Burien, driven by George Greer; this hull also raced as Tempest and Savair's Probe.
 
 

As usual, Ron Jones, Sr. was in attendance to watch his former handiwork's reincarnation.
