Hot Boat

very sad to hear. any clue what year the photo in the first post was taken. my guess is that it must have been collapsing over the years. I have never seen it look that nice before. I would love to have a copy of that photo for my self.

I'm out Jim, I wont be able to make it to the sled run ...I'm having a bunch of work done to the motor so my play money funds are being directed to the boat.

Cool, thanks! Passed it so many times but never knew the name of it... Can't remember the name of the restaurant we used to go to, it was on a barge up near the Newburgh bridge. Can I get 93 octane up there? Last time I was there I went to a gas dock right at the base of the newburg bridge, or maybe it was the next bridge but they only had 89 and I still had my Panther.

I may just have to do that and let you know....I was tossing around the idea of running up there with wife/kid to the torches area for an overnighter... Last year we ran around the bay a lot with the baby, getting her used to the ride (she loves it!) but never traveled long distance... So now that she'll be closer to 3 yrs old, I figure a nice run up the Hudson is much more predictable/calm with the baby onboard!

That area Bear Mnt up thru Newburgh bridges is my home turf . My dad is a member at he Cortland Yacht club which is a little south of Bear Mnt which is a great family spot for overnighting with a pool, clean showers, food, etc & lotsa kids. The barge ( bar ) is called Gully's , there are a half a dozen or so great resturants on the water in that area. As far as 93 octane on the water . I'd say no but 91 is availible . If I knew you were heading up I could get you some race fuel to make up the difference. Give me shout if your thinking about taking a cruise up north "up the mother waters" as my old man calls it.

Here are my girls at 3 & 6... they cant get enough of the boat
