Fuel for each participant's boat was supplied free by the Shell Company. Wilton McFarlane loads up the Nimrod owned by Burnley Cooper (right). In centre is Rick Cooper.
After fueling, the total weight of boat and trailer was assessed on the weighbridge.
Two of the scrutineers on the job were Gordon Fraser and Jim Hudson.
The trailers were weighed separately at Anzac Park.
Russell Searle and Tony Ensor put the number of their boat in position.
