The oldest active Vintage Hydroplane on the APBA Vintage & Historic Circuit. F-77 Barracuda is a 1947 Fred Wickens hull built by Fred Wickens in California. The boat is currently owned by my friend Tim Settle. His father bought it as a toy to play with in the early 60's. The boat has been in Tim's family since. It still sits on its original wooden trailer. Both pictures were taken on 5/1/2022. It one of the more popular boats at each race.
