Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

As some of you would be aware, Dave P was approached by the Boat Show and asked if he could put some of his collection on display. We rolled the boats up to the show on Monday, with two trucks and two cars used to get the seven boats to the show.
The first drama happened just around the corner from Dave's place, he spotted a problem with the duallies on Aggressor's trailer so we turned back. Turned out to just be a low pressure issue, so off we go again.
Got to the show to find that there was a temporary timber ramp to get the boats into the display area. The trucks couldn't go into the area, so we used the Triton to get six of the boats up the ramp. There were some ummings and arrings about Aggressor, she might be too heavy for that ramp. Finally they gave us clearance to go. The only tow vehicle we had was the Triton, so yes, hooked Aggressor up to the back of the Triton and away we went, up that bloody ramp. I think I now have the only LWB Triton in captivity, it stretched a bit with the weight of Aggressor on the back.
Here's some pics of the days activities.

Well done guys!

Thanks for posting the pics Bob. Man it was a ton of work for all of us to get them there and in place.
I couldn't have done this alone.
I think we have put on a good display. By the way the people gravitated towards the stand today I'm pretty sure the collection will leave a lasting impression.
Thanks Bob And Brank for being there.

And this is just your collection?

Bob

Dave is now a star of the big screen. Here's a link to the Sydney Weekender segment of the Boat Show.

Thanks for posting the link Bob.

Well the boats are all home. Pretty stressful week.
The best bit about today was lunch at the pub to relax.
