Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Or was Brenda aboard? Just saying!

I was wondering whether a precious Victorian might bite, lo and behold it’s the “El Presidenta “!! On a serious note having a heat exchanger dragging raw water into the fine tubes to cool the contained water within the engine having a water filter is a good safety measure to ensure no blockages.

I think Captain Bob Carter is on the money re quality of water! I have one in Tomboy and after 15 years of use there has been no debris in the strainer and it’s plastic but a quality item. If you get weedy slime like Victoria with their algae blooms then definitely!

Ahoy all! Facebook has reminded me the attached occurred seven years ago!? Great times in great company I hope all the crew are well and happy.
