GiveBig is May 3th & 4th.
2021 was a challenging year for the Hydroplane community. Luckily the Hydroplane Museum has generous supporters like you who have helped keep us going. One of our biggest and most important fundraising events each year is GiveBig. Since 2011 The Hydroplane Museum has raised over $85,000 thru GiveBig!
This year, GiveBig has opened up the donation portals early and you can donate today!
From now until midnight on Wednesday May 4th, GIveBig and the Washington Cares Foundation will help your money go farther by matching a portion of your donation.
Donating is easy.

Here is a copy of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America's press release:
"The newest Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA) exhibit arrived in a big way today. The 1982 World Champion and Gold Cup-winning
Atlas Van Lines unlimited hydroplane, driven by inductee Chip Hanauer (MSHFA Class of 1995) and then owned by Fran Muncey (MSHFA Class of 2021), is on loan from the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. Huge thanks to David Williams, John Goodman and the incredible team at this outstanding museum in Kent, Washington for lending us this prize, and Jim Hyatt who trailered the boat on its more than 3,000 mile journey the MSHFA. Levy, Cooper and Hyatt are pictured with former IMSA President Scott Atheron, a member of the MSHFA Board of Directors, who was another big part of bringing this amazing treasure to the MSHFA."
Holidays are a time for generoisity
As you plan your year-end giving, please consider donating to The Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum! The last two years have been challenging for everyone, especially a small non-profit that spent most of that two years closed by government mandate. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! You'd be surprised by what we can do with just a few dollars! Even if you cannot contribute at this time, we wish you all the joy and blessings the holidays can bring.
PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO MAKE YOUR YEAR END DONATION

Thank you for the add, I live in West Australia, so do not have a lot of knowledge of these boats, my main reason for joining is to find more information about “Miss Thriftway Too” I’m about to build a Roger Newton plans (DOUBLE SIZED), as I have already done this to “Miss Smirnoff” some years ago that built into a 60+inch fiberglass mold, worked out quite well. I am after detailed photos of cockpit/dash area & the under front middle sponson etc
Thank you in advance for your time & interest in my project.
