Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi all,
Just confirming Katrina and I will be coming with Mystress. First run of the season, dragged her out of the garage a couple of weeks ago (the boat that is) and went for a run on Sydney harbour for the fleet review. Great day. Fired up second time and didn't miss a beat.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Cheers!
Neil

Had Touche on the water today testing a prop Dave D had and it seems to work well so the boat and crew of 3 will be travelling to Narrandera next weekend.

First time with my own boat and looking forward to it.

Great stuff Graham. See you there. Wow, another Eddy!

I took your advice today paul and backed up to a boat that hasnt been touched in many years.
I played around today and got it going.
Plenty of patina on this one.

Dave i have spent 3 weeks trying to get Eagle going with the triple su,s and gave up ended up with twin carbs on a walker set up had to make everthing now i have got a cracked exhaust near the manifold and a exhaust leek near the head. Well if i dont get any time this week thats how its going

Ok, after a slight interruption to the schedule, I'm back to needing to check wheel bearings. The motor is in and passed the thorough 2 point test, it runs and the propellor spins.
See you Friday, Dave.

Paul I dont even know if this thing floats and as yet I dont have a Towbar on my car.
Im not doing another trip in that truck with the family.

Just walked past the boat and it looks like the tank has a leak.it just gets better

Paul just wait till the night before to fix everything. Thats what I do.

Keep it up boys, I think Ray might end up bringing the wooden worry seeing you guys are all having his experiences
I note he has been very quite, but possibly amused by your reports!
Cheers
