The boat above is a special one, being it came from the Demon who we lost just over one year ago on the 22nd I believe. I am proud to own these two pieces made by Geoff and they should be here as they came out of Australia

And going with that forum builder theme, I better include this engine. Although it is an NZ made engine, it must still be considered an Aussie engine? or at least part Aussie??  ;)
