Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like I'll need to get a tow rig or a slip at a minimum. Hate to admit it, but have never taken the Fountain offshore, so that idea will take some getting used to. How's the Hudson? Being a "lake" guy to date when I hear river (and when I've been at the Hudson) I"m afraid of debris, water depth, etc.

Hey 1st!
I grew up in Florham Park, live one town away now and I am still on the First Aid Squad there. It is a nice hometown community. I think you will enjoy the area. I keep my boat @ Typhoon Service Center in Toms River, NJ. It is about an hour & fifteen minute ride to get there but it is right on Barnegat Bay. The bay has protected waters from Pt. Pleasant (5 miles North) to roughly Atlantic City (40 miles south). The bay is shallow in spots but is fairly well marked and easy to learn. It averages 3-6 miles wide. Feel free to pm me if you need any info on Florham Park or the Jersey Shore.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'll need to put the lake house in Hot Springs on the market and start looking for a slip on the Hundson. I've got to do some house hunting in the Florham Park area as well. Any places you would recommend that aren't too far from the water but still not a bad drive to Florham Park? Or even better, somewhere on the water that isn't a horrible drive to Florham Park? Your real estate prices are pretty scary to those of us here in the central US, so I think a two house setup like I have here (i.e. a house and a lake house) is out of the question based on my income tax bracket. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
