“I always dreamed of following in my father's footsteps and piloting a hydroplane.”

Kevin's father campaigned the S-26 Dreamweaver. Today the F-26 carries the family name — and the only Ford engine in the field — back onto the water.

Kevin Smith

Kevin grew up at the race course watching his father pilot the S-26 Dreamweaver — and always dreamed of following in his footsteps. Since 2007 he's been doing exactly that. Out of Peabody, Massachusetts, Kevin campaigns the F-26 in the HRL's Formula F class: the only Ford-powered boat in a field of Hondas, and proud of it.
