Miss DeSoto stands as a proud symbol of classic hydroplane from the 50's and 60's. Miss DeSoto was powered by a DeSoto Hemi V8, Chrysler's first-generation hemispherical combustion chamber family. These engines were renowned in racing circles for their breathing ability, high compression, and excellent torque at high RPM. With multiple carburetors, polished intake stacks, and custom headers, the DeSoto Hemi in this hydroplane delivered stunning power, perfectly suited for straight-line acceleration across open water.

Now restored back to it original glory days, Miss DeSoto is a proud symbol of classic hydroplane history. Boats of this era are treasured by collectors and displayed at vintage race regattas and exhibitions in and out of the water.
