Very Sus

Had a look at the icebox and seems not to have slime/weed growing on it.The water temp is a lot hotter there than here in Carnarvon and we get weed/slime on after 7-14 days and its even quicker in Exmouth.So after 25 days you would expect to see heaps of it???

Would have been interesting to see them have a crap,"excuse me can you go outside to do that I'm eating my seagull"

One thing...

Yeah, bit sus.

One thing though. Eskies are easier to come by. I was told there was no 406s available in Oz and there is a 60,000 waiting list. Anyone heard the same?

Hmm, sounds like the guy that told me might be off track then. Interestingly, the BCF down Albany have run out. 

Glad I bought one earlier.

At around $400 I take it that was the GMC base model John - the manually activated one?
