If bringing a larger horsepower and/or bigger and/or fibreglass boat be aware:

• Occasionally (once every 20 years) the water level gets low – for example just 100mm of water in sections and we may have to float/drag boats across some shallow sandbanks. This is harder in a bigger and heavier boat. 
• If the water level is low, but tinnys can still get through there is no refund available. Hence bringing a bigger boat is at your own risk
• Fibreglass boats: Occasionally the Murray has floating or submerged logs in it, last rally one team hit a log and sustained minor motor damage (they were able to continue). Hitting a log would likely cause more damage in a fibreglass boat.
• You are asked to limit your speed to 60khph on the rally for safety and insurance reasons
• Remember everyone else is travelling in less comfort and speed, don’t look too smug if you blast past them at speed
• It will be more of a hassle docking and tying it up when we get to the towns as space on the pontoons is limited in town, a tinny is a lot easier to pull up on a rocky riverbank in towns than a fibreglass boat
• There is no fuel available on the river, you walk jerry cans to the servo, if you are bringing a bigger boat will use more fuel keep this in mind
