"SCANDAL"

The BLOWN SILLY gang are at it again with yet another cracker to add to their ever growing fleet. No Whiteley collection could be considered complete without the mega rare F1-11 in the mix so along came "SCANDAL". This controversial hull design was too fast for it's own good which saw them built in very low numbers after ruffling the feathers of fellow competitors ...'is it a displacement or a hydro?' being the common protest.
Can't wait to see this jewel once she's finished, cheers for the pics fellas ;)

"MERCURY"

Mick's old man ran this demon back in the 70's. Would you believe the big block Ford featuring cross rammed manifold and twin 660 methanol carbs is still in the family's possession along with other bits and pieces from the boat ...great pic!  ***Hit the "BLOWN SILLY" label to check out their wild Whiteley's.

"SCATTERED"

Mick & Co. have recently added a second Whiteley Craft to their fleet. "SCATTERED" runs a 350 and the 17ft hull is a lot lighter than "BLOWN SILLY" in construction. She came from a farmer in Dubbo who bought her from off the side of the road that runs along the Hawkesbury back in the day. Would be great to hear from anyone that recognizes her and could possibly fill us in on some of her earlier history ...Cracker boat!!! More gold on the way from this album, check out "BLOWN SILLY" for a treat in the meantime >>> aussieskiboats.blogspot-blown-silly-aka-stirrer.
Hey Mick, ...we'd love to see a pic of the two afloat side by side one day if there's any chance ;)

"BLOWN SILLY" .......aka "STIRRER"

A family heirloom, this wild Whiteley hot rod packing a blown rat is cherished by bro's Mick & Chris. Dad's old girl "STIRRER" was dragged out from under the house after a 15+ year lay off before the fellas performed this stink'n hot rebuild. Unfortunately the original finish could not be retained due to sunlight turning her starboard side pink so the "BLOWN SILLY" guise complete with airbrushing and metal mountain was the order of the day. Traditionalist's need not lose sleep as the fellas plan on returning her to original appearance down the track, it's just that she's still lookin' way too good to repaint.
Bet she's a hairy ride! Best just give 'em a wave out on Lake Moogerah 'cause you wont catch her ;)
