25.01.2022 We regret to inform our members, Volunteers, Sponsors and guests that our next scheduled event being Sunday 26th July 2020 has been cancelled. The committee has made this difficult decision to cancel because the Insurance Underwriter "Lloyds of London" have confirmed that at present, they will not be reissuing any Third-Party Insurance Policy’s for Powerboat Racing at this time due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic. We understand that this decision may cause great inconvenienc...e for you, your team and families and we are sincerely sorry. The committee has all been working tirelessly to provide a positive outcome, although time has been against us and we would not have been able to resubmit new applications to Maritime Safety and Bundaberg Council with adequate notice before the proposed event date. The club is working with our brokers and other Powerboat Clubs across Australia to remedy the situation as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Unfortunately, Bundaberg Powerboat Club was the first Club up for renewal this year and therefore the first to be affected. I would like to thank David Toyer President, APBA National, Rhoda Wojcikewycz, from Mid North Coast Speedboat Club, and Brad Neilson, from Mackay Powerboat Club for their advice and support and we all hope this can be rectified in the very near future. With the help and support of the Australian Powerboat Racing Community, Powerboat Racing across Australia will continue.!!!!!!! See more

24.01.2022 Hi everyone We have had a request from a new racer. He is looking for a set of overhead extractors for a 350 chev. Straight bolt pattern. Let us know if you have anything. Thanks Kathy

24.01.2022 Jason Chiswell’s new 25hp boat is ready for testing!! All we need now is for the propeller to turn up!!

22.01.2022 On behalf of the Bundaberg Powerboat Club committee, we would like to thank everybody for another great Bundy Fun Club Day on Sunday. 38 boats attended covering 8 classes for our first race event of the year, with more boats to attend our May round. A huge thank you to all our sponsors, Zaks Meats, The Battery Barn, Scott Burke Electrical, Swick Automotive and Extreme Marine. A huge thank you to all our volunteers and a special thank you to Peter Spicer for taking on the role of Officer of the Day.

22.01.2022 Bundaberg Fun Day A family affair! Jason Chiswell (dad - 25hp) Joshua Chiswell (behind - 15hp) Hayden Chiswell (right)... Hayden is in practise for his debut in October!! See more

22.01.2022 Well, that didn’t go to plan. Race 1 Jason in the 25hp boat started out of pole 3, all went well at the drop of the flag and managed to pull a few boat lengths... down the front straight, that’s when it all turned pear shaped, hit something on the right rear corner that picked the back of the boat up and sent him side ways, managed to regroup and finished the race in 3rd. Back at the ramp we found that what ever he hit put a hole in the bottom of the boat and the flex from the spin split the deck, gotta say I’m not real happy, but I guess, that’s racing. Josh managed a 2nd from pole 4 and drove well in the breezy conditions with the wind coming straight down the back straight. All in all Josh ended up with 2 x 2nds, a third and a First. A huge thank you to Anglomoil Superior Lubricants, Kim Haulage, Extreme Marine, No Deposit First Homes and Full Contact Tiling. See more

19.01.2022 With the restrictions beginning to be slowly lifted, there has been a few inquires about the 2020 Rum City Classic in July. The event has been cancelled by council. At this stage it is still unknown when large crowds will be allowed to gather and due to the amount of work required to put this event on it would not be possible in such a short space of time. The committee is committed to begin racing as soon as we can and will do our best to get a Fun Day happening as soon as... we are able. Watch this space for Updates!

19.01.2022 BECOME A SPONSOR As the club continues to grow we are always looking for New Sponsors to support each class that competes at our events.

Sponsorship of a class for a club day can be as small as $150.00. Message us, call Kathy on 0411 268 575 or email, [email protected]. Thank you for your support!
