The Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum is the nation's only public museum dedicated solely to powerboat racing. Formed in 1983, our mission is to preserve and exhibit important artifacts from the sport of hydroplane racing. The museum features an incredible collection of vintage hydroplanes spanning seven decades, including boats that have won 17 Gold Cups. The Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum is also the nation's primary resource for historical and educational information on hydroplane racing. Our extensive collection of books, magazines, race programs, newspapers, photos, videos, trophies, and other memorabilia dates back to the turn of the last century. The stories of famous drivers are here as well. Legendary Bill Muncey, Ron Musson, Mira Slovak, "Wild" Bill Cantrell, Dean Chenoweth, Chip Hanauer and other past drivers are featured. Over the years, we have restored many of the most famous Gold Cup and Harmsworth winners to full running condition. They include the Miss America VIII, Tempo VI, Slo-mo-shun IV, Slo-mo-shun V, Hawaii Kai III, Miss Bardahl, Miss Thriftway, Miss Budweiser, and Atlas Van Lines. Most important, these great hulls have been restored by Museum members, people like you who loved the boats and simply could not see them fade away.
