A note from the author
I hope my words expressed through this article created some interest in these beautiful hydroplanes and the gentlemen who created them. 
A big Thank You goes to all the vintage and current inboard raceboat designers and builders. Additional contributions were added by many restorers and past owner/drivers for sharing with me with some of your experiences and knowledge of these great raceboats.  And of course, this article would have never been attempted without the unrelentless help, guidance, photographs, and inspiration provided by Mr. Phil Kunz.
