Waterski racing at Gosford NSW Australia.
It was so great to see some form of racing back at Gosford waterfront, also lovely to hear V8 motors roaring 😁😁.
The racers did well to hold onto the back of the tow boats with rough conditions at over 1000hp for some of the boats.
Enjoy 😉

Cool to see they are still racing at the old aquatic club. I used to ride my bike down there 45 years ago and catch the races. Doesn't quite look the event of yesteryear - nicer boats with bigger budgets but it does not always translate to an improvement. Thanks for sharing!!

Sounds so good I always love the mercury pro SX v8 and the mercury racing. Not bad for a 4 stroke I love them.

Hi mate, Yeah, was a good weekend. Had to film a few boats and put a vid up even though it’s not my normal smaller outboard stuff, I love all boats so was super excited 😆. Yeah, the V8 outboards sound great, especially on startup. Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎

Wow I thought circuit ski racing would have been banned years ago as they seem to ban anything that becomes dangerous. I remember the La mans drag there at Gosford from years ago and that got banned.

That 6 blade prop is probably worth more than my boat, trailer and old 80 series

@rosselliott2202 8 ай бұрын

The prop alone is worth $10k plus

@25hpboatracerman 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, apparently the props are about $10000 dollars, that’s very expensive for a prop. cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎

Very nice big $$ there 👌

Hi mate, Massive $$, one guy said he used over $300.00 of fuel in 1/2 hr 😂😂. Some of the boats are about 400k. I’m happy with my little boats 😁 Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎

1985 ish... Missile. Big block. Then blown. Then twin turbo . Always NOS. As a teenager it was always my favourite. Haines SO's were the go for any water condition, or Bullet sandwich hulls....2.4 6pacs efi

Ha, that’s awesome 👏 I definitely remember the Haines SO boats as being great in most water conditions. I will always love the sound of the 2.4 liter 😁 cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎

I got hold of a 6'6" fibreglass tri hull yacht tender to go with a motor i had.... a tuned 1984 15hp Johnson. The idea started when I came across a cut down bronze semi surface 3 blade clever. It was run on a high reving 25hp. I made a steel adjustable jack plate through the transom, bolted to 3 fibreglassed in pine stringers. It ran 1/3 of the prop in the water, catch sprays and custom tube water inlets, and I got 54mph out of it.... in front of Stephan's off shore powerboat crew who happened to be testing on the same day!! 😊 I went past them to get some big thumbs up as I dealt with waves and skipped meters of clean water. The grins were great to see.
