Anyone else launching at LL state park besides me?

The ramp is a ***** (not usable) at low tide. Might have to check the tide chart prior.

Exit 14B off the NJ Turnpike for those of you that have never been there before.
I think it's still around 10 bucks.

Thanks Hot Boat. Im may possibly along in a friends boat for the Poker Run. If not, I will meet with you guys with my boat and definatley need 93 octane. Hopefully fill up on the trailer before launching. If so I will need a name or phone number of the launch area to call for exact directions from Long Island.

The launch ramp is at the Peekskill River Front Green. It is the City of Peekskills river side park right off of Rt 9. It should be on most maps. When you cross over the railroad tracks to enter the park turn to the left. there will be a guy that will give you a ramp pass. I think it is a $25 fee. Its a great launch set up even for large boats.

Good, since my Sonic 30SS is in Miami, I'll pull up to the raft up (depending on wind conditions) in my other yacht: a ten foot inflatable with electric trolling motor! I'll bring extra beer for ballast.

Maybe you give that nut in the little red boat a run for his money! What was that, a 14 footer? Ran last year or the year before?

His name is Tim Sharkey. He is an OSO member and his screen name is Sharkeymarine. The boat is a Bullet he built himself and he is a SUPER NICE GUY!

Yep, what Shane said. Tim is a super nice guy, not to mention having a big set of brass balls to run that minioffshore at the speeds he did, safely!!

No jokes about my inflatable Rolling Thunder, or I be chasing you in my inflatable with tasers attached to the electric trolling motor. <gg>
