Hi,
Despite a few of the guys not being able to make it with what would have been another 5 or 6 boats, then the turn out to our first Hydrofest Funday was nothing short of fantastic.
Its a lot of these sorts of boats for one club to have in its midst. Quantity is one thing but its also backed up with quality.
The full range of boats were covered off from the 6 foot Smokin Joes, T1 Thunder Boats, Electric and a couple of Nitro 1/8 Scale Unlimiteds, Q / 6s and P/4s boats.
Most of the boats hit the water during the day and put on a great display. Some have not seen the water for nearly 20 years so.
There were a few "work in progress" boats of which we anticipate seeing running in the near future.
All in all it was an awesome day and we all look forward to an even better showing with more boats next time round 25th November '23.

See ya all then.
Cheers,
Matt L
