    The real thing

    I understand most of you are interested in cats but here are pictures taked yesterday by myself of beautifully restored vintage unlimited hydroplanes from the 50's and 60's. Only the Thriftway is a brand new full size replica.

      The one in the Bardahl is the same but all the other boats run an Allison.

                    Thats just awesome. I am not fond of the modle shovle nose hydros...but to see the real thing in action...Very impressive. Id watch them run for hours. I would have paid for a days worth of fuel for a ride!!!!:D
