Topsy Enhancment


In Bundaberg It was decided that due to the next stop being a coral lagoon - Lady Musgrave- that Turby being all inflatable my not mix so well with the sharp coral so we tested the outboard on Topsy... when the mighty 4hp Suzuki was lowered onto the transom the flex could be seen and the cracking heard, and this was before we even tried to start the motor, so some modifications were necessary. Luckly we were anchored in the Burnett river right in the middle of town and there were free powerpoints by the bbq's, we we packed up the grinder and glassing gear and let loose on Topsy. As can be seen the transom was reinforced with racing carbon fiber!!! Success we can now use the outboard on Topsy (all be it very carefully)!!!
