I posted this to Facebook (and Instagram), but since many of you aren't on FB (and only one of you I'm FB friends with) I thought I'd share here. It's our latest restoration at the
Hydroplane & Raceboat museum
This picture turned out to be fairly popular on the interwebs.
Nothing like testing a vintage thunderboat in a thunderstorm.

My FB gallery of the test session is here (it's public so you don't have to be a FB friend, or even a FB member to see it):

Nice. Looks a lot like my Radio Controlled "Miss Becks" hydroplane I built and still run on the lake in Pa. (the kit was the Atlas Van Lines Hydroplane. I built it in the late 1970's).

Funny how I read that as thunderBOLTS.
