Unlimited Lights

Unlimited Lights are big block automotive-powered hydroplanes that add thrilling action to any show. They look like Unlimiteds, are as loud as Grand Prix, and are pound for pound as fast as any boat on the water.

The Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Association stages a series of events each year, some combined with Unlimited and/or Inboard events. The boats are designed much like the Unlimiteds but on a smaller scale, with stabilizer bar, skid fin, wings and 3-point contact with the water as the boat skims along.
