Old News Articles Gods Gift Sinks During Mildura 100 8/4/99 After competing in the Dash for Cash on Saturday, the team decided to try out some propellers. During one of the practice runs, the propeller threw a blade and broke through the hull, causing the boat to barrel roll & sink to the bottom of the muddy Murray. Driver Graham Richie was thrown out at high speed and although escaping serious injury, he was kept in Mildura Base Hospital overnight for observation. The boat was pulled from the water on Saturday night. What was the once beautiful God's Gift, has now been described as having "major damage" & being, "a total wreck". With God's Gift out, the crowd had to go without one of their favourite entries on the Sunday. World Barefoot Videos Now Available!
