I have a friend in Qld who has just moved to a mutual friends rental property (Acreage) He has a cabin cruiser which is a two person job to launch. 175 HP outboard which has not seen action for about ten months. He tried to start the outboard yesterday with the muffs and hose on for cooling. Three hours later he got it going.
Today he was going to launch it to give it a good run. He's only three K's from the sea so I assumed he was going down to the boat ramp.
Nope he decided on the Dam on the property.
Boggy? Oh Yes. 4x4 required ? Oh Yes.
Not a happy chappy especially when I told him the coastguard don't turn out to recover from Dams.
