Thank you for your daughters picture of Miss America VII. This is a special boat that I forgot to mention. It has a history going back to 1929 when Major Hane Segave set out to capture world speed record. His hydroplane took on Miss America VII. Miss American VII won the race with a world record speed of 94 MPH.
Today Miss America VII has been brought back by Geoffrey Magnuson and a replica was built some 70 years later. It has twin (2) Rolls-Royce engines each developing a 1000 HP. The sound of the engines and the thrill of seeing it run is unbelievable. Come see it for yourself.
