Re: Grafton 2009 B2B &/or Jacaranda Festival

Hi Nick. Both dates are close to Nerranderra. If I was to pick one Id go to the vintage boat Regatta. My experience with boat races is if you are lucky they might let you on the water for a very short while. Its a long way for some for a small reward. At the Heritage afloat regatta one speedboat got...

Re: New Boat

Thanks Sunbeam. How are you going with the triple?. This boat was in the trading post a few weeks ago. When I saw the ad I dropped everything and drove up to get it. Sadly my Falcon had other ideas and blew another head gasket. I got the car home jumped into another and 5 hours after I left I got to...

There is a local raceboat here called INvader. It was built in the early 20's and runs an Oakland. It has a V drive in it.
