Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Dave,
Alan Price got me into wearing those flexible type work gloves.
At first I was cynical, but I use them all the time on the boats and around the farm.
It has saved me so many blisters and cuts etc
(although screwing, palm blisters, and gloves is getting weird but I am serious)

What a great picture!
Note to "self"..........Must get a period tow vehicle one day.
Yes, it was a note to "self" - Don't tell my wife!

Dave,
What a great lot of pics, great to see the others.
Darren

I've got an idea this is a Max Shepherd built boat.
A couple of reasons the 2 vents on the deck and the shaft log.
These things are no means conclusive because they can be retro fitted
There are similarities in construction but I'd have to look at some old pics
I've got somewhere to check.
Darren

Speaking of small measurements.
I asked a wise grease monkey how do you get more horsepower
from a Grey Motor........ he said "Fit a Red Motor"
The same guy just painted my Black Small Block Orange.
The question is, will it make more HP!!!!

Alan Price in Butterbox:
"Hmmm Looks like Murray River Vintage Xmas 06"

We had a great time!
Mia's first steer, in her now favorite boat.
Six laps and she still wanted to keep going.
Good to catch up with everyone.
Luke and his Pa never caught a fish........I wonder why
(maybe a little noisy)

Darren and family

Guys sounds like there are quite a few starters.
Remember as Doc writes it is a test and tune day at NWSC.
so that's what we are all doing.
Maybe I'd better dust off Steinway, now
See you there

Darren

Greg,
Spoke to the Electric Girl he is hoping to be there (not 100%)
I am planning to get there around 10.30am?
Hows that for others?
Darren

No worries Al,
Got any other starters?
Greg,
Should we transfer this to a new topic so others can find it?
