Hi Kenjet. Not a lot of skinny. All the flood waters trying to escape
It's actually around 1050kms. Driving at night for the first 5 hours in the rain made it easier. Great roads, turbo singing and 110kph on the cruise control. I must confess, I did doze off for a couple of hours with Missus S driving. Had the brakes and bearings serviced. Light truck tyres on the trailer made all the difference to our confidence.
Without the boat on the way home, we did it in a little over 12 hours.

We found a few side chutes for a play. Clark was driving Matt's boat like he stole it (he did...) Matt was driving Steelo's boat.
Amazing how much gravel got pumped thru the scott when Clark was driving...

Here's one chute that got pics.

Matt managed to be in control of the only boat that failed to proceed during the weekend, therefore he is completely responsible.  ff>

Required a brief tow whilst re-fueling in the swift current.

Clark, wishing he was a bikini clad girl, reclining in the bow rider at 50km/h across Lake Blowering.

Photoshop editing welcome...

 you guys invented a perfect redneck sport.  All you need is a boat, a big motor and the desire to do something that might end badly.

Subject to  , if over 750kg you need brakes on the trailer and also towed load must be within manufacturer limits for the tow vehicle.

Problem with  bowriders as I see it Mof is squatters . The one in you're boat might end up becoming a fixture if you're not careful .  :-X    I'll tip off immigration  ;)

Probably end up in Adelaide next !!
