1959 Henry Lauterbach 18′ Racing Hydroplane w/Trailer

This striking 1959 Henry Lauterbach 18 Racing Hydroplane is a true vintage gem, manufactured in the era of classic American boat craftsmanship. Originally designed and built by Henry Lauterbach himself, this hydroplane was specifically created to compete in high-speed racing contests, particularly within the 266ci Class. Beyond its racing prowess, the vessel gained further notoriety as it played an integral part in the production of the classic film 'Racing Fever' released in 1964. This classic boat boasts a striking two-tone red and black exterior with vivid gold graphics and striping added during a recent restoration, which speaks to its timeless design elements that are both visually appealing and rich in racing history.
