David Tuckfield was out on the water off the coast of Mandurah, south of Perth, last Friday with his wife Kunya and 14-year-old son when they spotted the shark lurking beneath the surface.
The great white, which Mr Tuckfield estimated to be about four metres long, swam right up to the side of the boat, opening its mouth up wide and using its razor sharp teeth to chomp down on the boat's outboard motor.
The shark continued circling the family for an hour, giving them a Good Friday they'll never forget.

"Wednesday has started off rainy, even leaving us with a waterspout. The moment was captured by one of our most faithful followers", read the tweet posted by TorreviejaOn.
The waterspout which was of a significant size lasted between 15 and 20 minutes, following a swat swell which began to appear at about eight o'clock in the morning and has covered practically the entire coast of Orihuela and Torrevieja. The rare phenomenon did not reach land, meaning that no person nor property was damaged.
The waterspout happened sometime between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Monday evening on the lake near Bellingham.
Officials say a video showed the waterspout quickly dissipated as it moved onshore.
Although the NWS said it did not cause significant damage, it did move two small boats and patio furniture along the shore.
Sources said the bear attacked Devaram's face with its paw and gorged out his eye. His jaw also broke in the attack. The bear caught Devaram from the head and started dragging him towards the jungle.
