It takes a man with big balls the pilot a thin plywood tunnel boat with no safety cockpit…
Check Buck Thornton in the Aronow Unlimited cat competing in the Unlimited Hydroplane class.
This boat was extremely fast and the powerful Hemi engines gave the Mercruiser racing sterndrives a hard time.
This is from the early eighties when boat racing was at all time high.
Thanks Sandy Ross for the first seven pictures and Bradley Huskin for the last one in San Diego 1982.
Enjoy
Edit: This boat was designed and built by Mr. Bill (Billy Seebold)
