About 60 years ago I remember them racing in the river at Newport Arkansas. Sometimes they would crack up and you could hear the motor bubbling as it sink into the river. I always wanted one.
I’ve came across some amazing canisters of old racing film mostly hydroplane races and some auto races from 1959-1961 about 8 reels got it from an old collector in Destin,FL but it also has guntersville Al labeled on a couple reels. In a nice old metalLogan deluxe model carrying case. I haven’t been able to watch but did have a projector and before it went out I saw photos of a miss bergdahl (?) not sure but it was something like that. I’m wanting to sell the collection but not sure who to contact any help much appreciated my grandmother I lived with and took care of just passed away and I’m moving back out west if anyone knows a good contact please reply,thanks
Please please please upload it online. I know you said you were wanting to make some profit, but archiving it to the internet will help generations of people interested in early hydroplanes (like myself) see just how far the engineering has come. Archiving old video to the internet is like putting something in a forever museum. Regardless of what you choose to do with the film, it's a really neat find :)
I built one back in 1970 an had a 10hp super hurricane mercury. It was the best time of my life. GOD I MISS THOSE DAYS.
Im looking for build plans for these. Any help?

Normal clothing that gets wet is life-threatening
