SA test day

[Paul SA]

A few of us SA chaps went out for a test day.
Colin's new boat
Dave turned his runabout back in to a skiff
I took Eagle then the new owner of HI FI decide to come along.
Then i got a phone call from a new member and he wanted to drag up his hydro.
So as it turned out it was a good day of woodies.
I also got to drive my first Hydro the boat is 25 foot long and has got 550hp BBlock
and i can tell you i was a very happy bloke
There is a few photos i hope you like them

Paul. Your life is now ruined. The last thing you will think about before going to sleep will be driving a hydro. The first thing you will think about when you wake up is driving a hydro. Your days will be filled with trying to get your next hydro fix. Sad but true even if you deny it. Welcome to my world.

Definitely a bit of pucker in that first photo Paul, but I reckon that's allowable.
That's a lot of boat with a lot of engine.

I'm officially envious! I had no idea that boat was still around - was that a try before you buy run Paul? It is a very impressive bit of gear.

[Paul SA]

No Bob
Leanne wont let me buy one she hasnt got over the skiff crash yet and any way i would have to buy a 25 foot one now as i have been spoiled.

Also important to note Leanne wasn,t there Saturday either, haha.

Paul - well said a very firm and emphatic denial to put Leanne off the scent. So when are you getting one?
