On saturday night a homemade houseboat a guy built in his backyard flipped over at mission point in the bribie passage.It looked like a pontoon with a cabover looking camper unit from a small truck bolted on,painted in cammo colours complete with observation deck on top and apparantly even a slipperydip from top off the back.They launched it off a trailer at donnybrook after tyring for a considerable amount time apparantly they reversed down the ramp and just braked heavily to get it off.(I wasnt there but have been told by a few locals)
They then motored off ater dark with no nav lights!!
We went over for a look on sunday arvo and they were using a hand winch to pill it up to the mangroves just north of mission point beach,it was flipped upside down the only thing stopping it from being totally upside down was the railing on the top hit the bottom and held it at an angle,I didnt have my camera and only got pics on my phone and cant load them on here.
Not sure it they have got it moved yet.
Could have been a lot worse apparently kids were asleep onboard when it flipped(Only been told that didnt see for myself)
hey guys that twit lives just around the corner from me, and he is the dodgiest guy i have seen, your right what its made from, i bet thats all you can afford when you don t work its looks wya to top heavy
lol sounds like some of the hobos on the water at rudy mass marina, lol old caravans on top of 44 drums welded together on end. then to top it of a nice 20 johnson on the back, lol
Yeah SKIPALONGS rite I saw this thing being created everytime I drove past it in Deception Bay .It was so tall and all it had under it was a couple of ally tubes .It was the craziest thing I have ever seen.
I've been watching the D'bay one being built over the past couple of years, every time i drove past. Even saw a Hobycat thingy bolted to the front once. Very interesting. Sad to hear it went belly-up.
