Tempo VI
A 20" solid wood model built by Steve Balcer in 2010. 
It is my favorite Ventnor hull as I met Guy Lombardo once at Miami, Florida in the 1960’s 
and saw him race here in Dayton a couple of times in the 1940’s when I was just a kid.

Miss Canadiana
A lightweight wood kit model 24 inches long.
I was lucky to become good friends with Art Asbury during the last decade of his life.
Manufactured by the Osborn Model Kits.

Country Boy
A solid wood 31" prototype three sponson model of the first hydro that Jon Staudacher built in the new millenium. 
         The real full sized Country Boy National Modified hydro was extremely fast in the straight-a-ways but was hard to turn.

X Ray
A 18" solid wood model built by John Jenkins in 2008.
This three sponson model is a very accurate replica of the real X Ray 5-Litre of Mark Burghardt which has won many races.
