Just saw on Facebook today that the Nankervis boys at Bendigo have begun the restoration on the famous hydroplane Tiger. There are some photos here https://www.facebook.com/nankervisboats/photos_stream Tiger is a Griffith Cup winner and at one stage was the Australasian record holder at 138.08 mph. The last time that I saw this hydro was at the Nankervis shed at Eppalock. They still have the original engine, complete with supercharger which was fitted in front of the engine. This is a landmark restoration and will be really well received when it hits the water. Let the momentum continue to roll.

The site isnt loading. Cant wait to see this boat done. Way too many historic boats lost their engine to go into cars.
