Madison is set on a river in 1971 Ohio, and tells the tale of two guys turning a beaten up hydroplane into a world beater.

I have a feeling this one will suffer by comparison with the same year's 'World's Fastest Indian'.

Here's a little piece on hydroplaning, and there's some nice vintage footage on UTube..... http://www.thunderboats.org/history/history0439.html

The main reason for this one being here is we don't get a whole lot of old powerboating images, and this isn't a bad one.

See also 'Racing Fever'.....there's an image attached and the poster is on this website.
