Hi all,
Here are some pics of tunnel we run in Australia currently with 25 HP Tohatsu.

Carn mate, post it's numbers and let us know whether the Aus record was ratified

Just for the record - this boat is a one-off "tiger craft" built in the late 90's by Leo Peck. It was designed to run 550cc super sport and in 1999 held the Australian record for this class at 108.5 kph. The boat is now owned by Wayne Mills and driven by myself Steve Scott and is currently racing in 2 classes 25hp in which is holds the Australian speed record at 92.36kph and we are currently working on a 40hp Tohatsu to run 550 which to date so far has reached 101 kph. There you go boatnut - there's the numbers !

Hi John,

Members of Windsor but we travel a bit just to go racing.

Know the area well, used to be involved in the water ski race scene.
The powerboat club used to put on a bit of a show at the end of the Bridge to Bridge.
Father in law used to run a 1750 Bullett called Bullett Express with a Mod VP.
Brother in law ran Topshot in superclass then purchased Top Gun both ran twin turbo big block engines.
Cheers
John
