"TRUE LIES"

What a blast from the past! ...Was rapt to bump into Mick and his wild T-deck Thurgar at Eppalock recently. A mate was once co-owner (with Mick) of "TRUE LIES" and I have great memories of tearing up the Murray in this old rocket many moons ago. Old mate moved onto a late model jigga but Mick stayed true and hung on to the old girl, he's even preserved that classic oldschool 90's paintwork ...onya champ!

spotted; "KAVS"

        Bit of a coincidence ...When Kav's other Thurgar, "Another KAVS", was spotted it to was engine-less.

spotted; "another KAVS"

"another KAVS" is one boat I clearly remember from my handful of trips to Albert Park as a youngster so it was quite a nice surprise to receive these shots (top two) snapped by champion ASB'er Rick ('HUSTLER'). Spotted in transit while undergoing some trailer mods, Rick reports that her motor was only temporarily out after a minor mishap.
These days "another KAVS" can be seen charging about as an official start boat for the V.S.B.C. as seen in this ripper shot (bottom) kindly shared with us by the noble folk from Downunder Rescue. It's amazing watching these saints from the Downunder team salvaging wayward race craft and the crew get to snap some of the best action shots from their position in between duties.
