E50 - Hot To Trot
280 Karelson Hydroplane
Owner/driver - Leo Croisetiere
Crew Chief - Ruth
Croisetiere
 In
the spring of 2009, after helping out at the Tavares,
Florida vintage race boat regatta and having a great time, Ruth
and Leo
Croisetiere returned home to New Hampshire and acquired
the 280 Karelson hydro Hot To Trot from Al Craig. They are
now looking for history and photos.
 
 Leo is the engine builder for our
shop, and we finally got him involved with our beloved
vintage race boats. Ruth & Leo run
R&L Engines in Dover,
NH and this is their first vintage hydroplane. They are
very excited, and would appreciate any help on the history of
their hydro. Please send email to
