Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum
1973 Pay 'N Pak
The "Winged Wonder" Pay 'N Pak ranks among the all-time great unlimited hydroplanes with 22 race victories. It stands with designer Ron Jones, Sr.'s other big winner, the 1980 Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered Miss Budweiser, which likewise captured 22 first-place trophies.

Moving back to Seattle around the first of the year. hope there is room for me on the restoration crew then. I can twist a wrench or screwdriver where told to, though I freely admit, I am no mechanic by trade. good luck to all of ye!

When the boat was new it did not have the orange "Pay-N_Pak stripe that goes up the vertical wing support. Looking back it doesn't look right without it. Anybody know the timetable/circumstances of when the stripes were added ?

One of my all time favorites. Can't wait to the Pak back on the water.

I was at the Stan Sayers pits for the debut of the brand new 1973 Pay 'N Pak. This home movie was taken from a 8mm movie camera (without sound). The Pay 'N Pak footage starts at about 47 seconds . I had the movie transferred to DVD and then uploaded to YouTube.
