This photo was taken (yesterday) as it was passing the exact spot where the owner/driver lost his boat last year, after it caught fire and sank. Funily enough the boat was called Blazen. It was great to see him back in action again this year with a new boat. I've added an SBS photo showing his old boat after it was raised from the bottom of the river. (103 days ago)

Cool shot, might bump the contrast just a bit. Thanks for the SBS. Very intreresting/depressing. What are the lines coming off the stern? Reply »

Thanks kyricom, I've adjusted the contrast. I think the lines are just the ribs under the hull. Reply »

The lines off the stern would be for the skier it is pulling, looks like the Southern 80 race to me. Reply »

Certainly was the S80 Solkee. Taken on a straight so it was doing around 200km, towing 2 skiers...those guys are crazy! Reply »

It's a boat race pulling 2 skiers for 80km. The boats are insane. Maybe google it Reply »
