Dragging this thread back to the top!

A small classic hydroplane resides in the Queensland Museum, what is its name and what is it powered by?

Tumblehome especially with regard to the transom is where the beam of the boat is narrower at the sheer (deck line) than the maximum beam of the boat. Nearly all boats especially our type have tumblehome.
