My Fully Restored Mercury Mark 20H Popper & Hal Kelly Jupiter Hydroplane

This is the 1st test run of my fully restored 1962 Hal Kelly Jupiter & 1955 Mercury Mark 20H Popper. After approximately 9 months of constant restoration work, both the Hal Kelly Jupiter and Mercury Mark 20H live to roar down the lake once more! My father and I are happy to have preserved a piece of hydroplane racing history, so it can live on for many years to come.

I've got more seaflea/hydroplane videos! Why don't you check those out too?
