28/04/2005: "ORIGINAL ALUMINIUM Dive Boat"

Built to take the latest and largest 100 HP outboards, the Tempest 803 was the strongest aluminium boat ever built for divers - who still managed to push the sharp corners of the front seats through the floor. An insane desire to run everywhere at full speed in any sea condition. Not so bad with a 40 HP motor though. THE CREW HERE: John Michael Harding, Tanya Binning, John Allen. Near the Royal National Park about 1965 returning from a scuba dive at Marley Beach.
