H1 Unlimited called the new boat “one of the most technologically advanced Unlimited hydroplanes ever constructed” in a news release Wednesday, saying it is a “composite craft, utilizing carbon fiber and other advanced materials.”

The agency also says Tesla made safety updates after the recall fix was sent out, including an attempt to reduce crashes caused by hydroplaning and to reduce collisions in high speed turn lanes.

In Garfield County, Okla., severe weather destroyed some barns, felled trees and sent cars hydroplaning into ditches, but no one was injured, said Mike Honigsberg, the emergency management director for the county.

Two- and four-cylinder hydroplanes, averaging 8 feet in length and weighing 400 pounds including the driver and engine, sped along the river reaching speeds approaching 60 mph.

The nation’s only public museum dedicated solely to unlimited hydroplane racing, the nonprofit reaches beyond pure recreation to benefit children and wounded veterans, as well.
