Im trying to kick this forum on a little and thought we could all have a trivia quiz. One person asks a vintage boating related question and if someone answers it right then they get to ask the next. Eventually we will have a cool database of our combined boating knowledge.

If the answer is wrong. The previous person gets to answer it and ask another.

Ill go first. Name the two boating brothers who built speedboats at Taren Point? (Full names).

Lets have some fun with this guys. Dave
