All new photos showcasing both current & vintage hydroplanes will scroll across your monitor when you visit the home page.
The SCRAPBOOK has grown by 72 photos. This section of the website has been alot of fun building over the past few years & brings the total of almost 400 boats from photographs spanning the 1940s through the 1980s. Many of the photos in the Scrapbook, were not taken by Phil, but ones he has accumulated over the years that he wanted to share with everyone. If you have never surfed through Phil's scrapbook, you are really missing out on seeing some unique hydros from the grand era of limited-class, inboard hydroplane racing.
We also posted a new WANTED poster. This makes the 66th WANTED poster we have published to date. Those are fun, too.
