Unlimited Hydroplanes, some of the most awesome machines in the world. 3000 hp turbines, 200+ mph speeds.
There is still one old school piston powered boat on the circuit, the #U-3 Cooper Racing boat from Posey County Indiana. It runs a twin turbo Allison V-12. Here's a few shots from the July 4th weekend.
Miss Madison finished 3rd in the finals. She is the Oh Boy Oberto boat. Defending national champ, wearing #U-1 this season.
The yellow #U-37 Pizza boat blew over on Saturday while leading a heat race. Driver stable in Louisville hospital.

Nice pictures. I've always wanted to see that. Maybe someday.
