Ted Jones, the father of northwest hydroplaning built many raceboats throughout his career.  Stanley S Sayres recognized the potential in Ted Jones and hired him to build the limited hydro Slo Mo Shun III.  After realizing the potential and attending a race with Ted in 1948, Stanley S Sayres contracted with Ted Jones to design and supervise the construction of the Slo Mo Shun IV.  This would prove to be such a success that it would catapult Ted Jones and Stanley S Sayres into national stardom. This site is dedicated to Ted Jones and will print excerpts from magazines, newspapers,  personal comments, and the complete IRS lawsuit with Sayres vs US Govt
