Honda,
Stacer and Victorian dealer New World Honda Marine recently teamed up with
insurance provider Club Marine to replace a family's boat which was destroyed
earlier this year in the Black Saturday bushfires.
Former
Flowerdale resident David O'Halloran and his family lost everything in the
fires, escaping with only the clothes on their backs.
Taking
delivering of a new Honda BF60-powered Stacer 479 SunMaster over the weekend,
Mr O'Halloran said the new boat would play a significant role in the family's
on-going recovery process.
"I'd taken
our five-year-old on our first ‘father-son' camping trip over Christmas, then
just a few weeks later the fires completely changed our lives," Mr O'Halloran
said.
"The young
bloke has been nagging me since to take him fishing again... it's just far too
much for a young child to comprehend that we'd lost everything.
"Thanks to
all involved, we plan to take our new boat to Lake Eildon or the Western lakes
in the next few weeks and hopefully catch a few trout."
