3.5 outboards aussi

Are you looking for another one?

Hahaha should I come shooing at Wayne's boat yard?

Thinking about looking for something else. I've had the VS1 for a long time now and had a villain before that.

 

[Kris Flynn]

Hey buddy, if you like wood (so to speak)I have a special set of sponsons to adapt to your center section for some testing!

 

[ozbryan]

I am willing to sample your wood (so to speak) hahahaha

All right Aussie outboard people, the rule submission for A O/B sport tunnel to replace B stock O/B tunnel is now up for a vote from the membership. The vote form is on the AMPBA site now, and it's proposal number 4.

Please get your votes in and don't assume it will just happen without your input!

Tim.

David, Check with Brad Spencer on here. He's got something like what you are asking about.

 

[Tim_Duggan]

Thanks to Tim D for lending me his boat, was great fun to race it!

And you beat him with it as well.........you're a bad man!

Wasn't hard to do, I didn't finish a single race with it.

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Happy Birthday Kris!

 

[BradSpencer]

Hope your not working too hard, have a good one Kris.

Hope your not working too hard, have a good one Kris.

Kris, work hard.... I don't think there has been a day that he hasn't answered the phone each time I call.

I guess it is hard work being the office boy. At least you get aircon and time for boat designs. That could be classed as hard work...

All the best once again mate.

Talk to you on the weekend.

Dave

Happy Bitthday Kris have a great day!

 

[Kris Flynn]

Thanks guys, wasn't a bad day at all

 

[Tim_Duggan]

So what was the run down on the Caribbean masters guys?

 

[BradSpencer]

Great racing and great conditions(except for the last heat of A OB).

Alot of proven racers and boats in the field, however the Moyle Breakthrough machine in 3.5cc outboard was the standout in my opinion. He won 3 out of the 4 heats with excellent pace and handling. The 4th and final heat presented some very windy weather and choppy water, my Lynx/OS did a Bradbury which chalked up enough points to take the win for the weekend.

Impressive mix of hull/engine combos as below:

1. Stirton Vision/Nova
2.Cox - Vision/Nova
3 Moyle - Breakthrough/Go
4.Flynn - Vision/Nova
5.L. Flynn - Vision/OS
6.Cortis - Breakthrough/K&B
7.Spencer - Lynx/OS
8.Cronk - Cobro/OS
9.Marshall - Vision/OS
10.Kessing - HTB/Nova

Congratulations to Kris Flynn who took home the bacon in B(7.5cc) outboard.

 

[Kris Flynn]

Boy, that must hurt having to say that Brad haha...i saw the trophy from the last time we battled it out 2 years ago...it was nearly like that again!

BRING ON THE NATIONALS!!!!!!!!!!

That Breakthrough handled the conditions nicely, i know his pain of winning 3 from 4 and dropping heat (way too often i might add!!!!). it is amazing how much the conditions change from 1 heat of 1 OB to the second, as our heat was not too bad in the 4 round

and that i bet Louise by 1m to the finish line which gave me more points to beat here for the 3rd place tophy in A OB and she got 3rd haha
