Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Well we have a crew organized for aggressor. Yesterday we spent the day checking stuff. A bit of fuel and a battery and she fired straight up.
We are planning on running her late next week.
I can't wait to drive the old girl again.

Sounds good Dave, where and when do you think? Is there an event on or just because?

Just because. Windsor boat ramp Friday arvo if we can get a drum of avgas at the right price.

Gees Dave I wish that I lived around the corner. I would even chip in for fuel just to see aggressor in action. Cheers Chris

We'll probably hear it in Melbourne!
Good Luck mate, take some footage!

You know it seemed quiet to me when it was running. I must be finally deaf.

It wasn't quiet to me. I was crouched down hosing the skeg bearings. First I was showered with little rust particles from the exhaust, then came the blasts of hot air, then came the loud drone of the aero engine. And I was wearing ear plugs!

Hmm. The only problem I can see here Bob, you being so close to a running Merlin, is that you had ear plugs IN.

Sorry Greg, I couldn't hear you. Can you say that again?

Looks like we are on for tomorrow. Three pm windsor boat ramp. Fingers crossed the weather holds out and she runs ok.
