A friendly reminder to please be safe and courteous out there on our Aussie waterway's, especially during this busy festive season..I'm sure we've all done our safety checks on the rigs,. Slip, slop, slap and all that ...and show a bit of leeway to 'ol Jack in his tinnie if possible...Wake'sters, please consider me and my little old raft also :-) Have fun and don't forget to send in your boat snaps. Cheers

"GREENBACK"

quaint aussie bush engineering at it's best ...love it!

Fortunately this Merlin Sabre has found herself in amongst some very capable hands. Claude, Luke, and Matt have some great plans in store for this old girl, a resto which ASB will be following closely. The fellas have had their eyes on her for quite some time. The previous owner's use in the one area for 25 odd years saw her become somewhat a local identity. This chap originally purchased her secondhand as a bare hull and trailer from the Bendigo region where she raced locally powered by a sidevalve Ford V8 in her heyday.
Be sure to call back in to check on her progress through 2013, I'm sure she'll come up a treat.

GOOLWA POWERBOAT PICNIC 2013

So you think you have the fastest ski boat on the river, it's time to put it to the test.
This event is like a drag racing street meet, but for boats.
There is an oval course set out, and it's 'run what you brung'.
All powerboats welcome.
