I'm seriously looking for a deckie for 2010 - have everything.. literally.. you just need a helmet, wetsuit, lifejacket ( which I have if you're an XL ), booties and gloves..

If you're upto - and around 80-90 kilo's - then i might have a ride for you..

PM me, and i'll hook up a time.. I'm planning on doing the january races, and I've been working on the boat over the last few days..

Pick ME Pick ME!!

Okay I'm a tad underweight. But I'll happily eat more

I'm a pdrc member, so is chance.. he races also.. ( he might even put his boat in the water this year.. )

There's nothing up on the website yet, havent recieved any emails about it...

My boat's still on the horses, I've spent the last couple of days sanding and priming ready for a fresh coat of paint - after the brutality that was the 2009 descent.. we got absolutely battered..

Pick ME Pick ME!!

heheheh... no worries

I've got caillin trying out on the deck to see if his knees can hold up.. but I'll pencil you in for a backup should he pull out

[pjay]

Scrutineering usually starts at sparrows mate, 7-8am iirc. If you're an observer it usually kicks off much later.

Line up is usually:
- Juniors
- Bath Tubs
- 8's
- 10 standards (fuck all of them anywho)
- 10 sports

[pjay]

Who's in ?

Is anyone interested in sponsoring a race team for this year ?

[Jimbo]

In. Paddling though.....
Could you do me a favor and try not to mow me down on day 2 :-)
Will be on a big blue spirit prs.

Cheers
Jimbo

Jimbo, here's my new solution to the ' paddler problem ' and those pesky kayak's you all insist on leaving floating in the river..

So i've devised a way to get them to go down a bit easier..

[Jimbo]

Har har......
Wrong end of the boat though isn't it. By the time you've gone past i'd have thought it was too late.
Perhaps a little paddle modification is required, something like this maybe

Zombies, power boaters, can't see much difference in it :-)

Chris I do believe you have to catch the paddlers before they become a problem ....just sayin

And that prop looks like it might work better than the last one you used trying to get up Glen Avon rapids

[fonzy]

Hey Eukanuba what paint scheme you using this year? that grey and white cammo was very easy to spot on tv

[Jamathi]

any of you have a spare Mariner 2 cilinder lower leg that you want to offload?

[Eukanuba]

Zombies, power boaters, can't see much difference in it :-)

Nah, the nose tends to bounce over them pretty easy.. it's just that the bits left over tend to float - even when they're full of water.. so you've gotta make smaller pieces

Oh, that's gotta be AJ from McIver's boat - always a smart ass aincha

Well, we'll have some fun this weekend bro - after you boys put your pink washing up gloves on

You liked that huh ?

If this new sponsor doesnt come through, it'll be a camo scheme - definitely.. might be urban, could be something more ' zing '.. suggestions ?

Maybe i should paint the bottom too?

But here's a question - did you make channel 9 ? cos i did

[Eukanuba]

Jamathi, can you give more info ?

How many horsepower is the head, do you need the trunk - or just the gearbox ?

I have a couple of spare 8's sitting in the shed..

Not for me again I've been too busy riding my pushy again no paddling. I am going to do a lower murray trip on Saturday in the play boat though
