1956 Ted Jones 22′ Racing Hydroplane w/Trailer

The 1956 Ted Jones 22' Racing Hydroplane is a vintage boat hailing from the era of yesteryear's high-speed aquatic competitions. Manufactured in Sun Valley, Nevada, this hydroplane was crafted by Ron Jones under his father Motorsport Hall of Fame member Ted Jones' design. It stands out as a product of its time, with a length of 22 feet that enabled it to excel on the water tracks during its active racing career spanning nearly two decades. Notably, the boat clinched the National High Points Championship title in 1963 under the skilled hands of Ted Bohay and Ken Lydon. Despite being refurbished in the '90s after years of service, this historic hydroplane was eventually donated to the Tahoe Maritime Museum. Currently active and offered with a trailer for easy transport, this classic racer offers an exciting glimpse into America's nautical racing heritage.
