Battered & Bruised - But Back To Defend Her Title!


After several weeks of hard work by the Miss Madison shop, The U-6 Oberto/Madison is on it's way to Tri-Cities to defend her honor of the Columbia Cup.  Watch out Villwock, "the shark" is back!

Beacon Is Back!


O.k., now it's time to "stop freakin'"  Bill Cahill has returned as a sponsor this year.  He is teaming up once again with the legendary Fred Leland to sponsor the U-100.  It's good to see this company back on it's feet and back into hydroplane sponsorship.  Kinda makes you wonder how far out is hydroplane ownership for the Beacon Plumbing company owner.  Hmmmmmm...

Miss Peters & May

Peters & May Racing has a new team, a new number, and almost a new boat.  The former U-25 was purchased by the new U-11 team and totally rebuilt over the off season.  You may remember the hull sporting a purple paint job last year and sponsored by...Peters & May...at the final race in Doha.

Painted in Dayglow Red with white, black and gold accents it will be hard to miss.  Most of the former U-37 racing team moved over to the new U-11 team and gives this hull a chance to make it to the winners circle this year.

2010 National Champion
