Default Back from Southern 80

A few of us E-series members went to Southern 80 at Echuca/Moama last weekend. For those who don't know it's a 80 kilometre ski race on the Murray river. Speads reached by these boats at around 180kph!

Us Heading up (SnyperEB, Bomber, EFFalcon and me)


Approves!! Boat at scruineering


Heading to 'Show and Shine'

(Hey' it's a Ford!)

The rest are not Fords but almost all are forced!!


Rotor anyone?


Two waste gates.. with screamers


Lots and Lots of turbos.


Action.


I took over 200 photos!!

LOL. Dad's boat still has enough grunt for skiing, so that's OK. The only issue we have at the moment is that Glenmaggie, where we usually go skiing, as you've seen, is a tad low on water!

Shaun, that 3rd pic looks so wrong. It looks like you're skinnydipping

And what happened to your car?
