Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey Steve,

Just checking in, I am trying to hookup with the North Shore boys for a run this Thursday to Ct. or Port Washington. I don't think it will work due to work issues. I have a meeting in NYC @ 1000 and then back to Jersey and back to the Island. Things would have to be perfect for me to make it and they never are!

This weekend I will be around but most likely doing family things...I will give you a call. Talk with you soon.

Thank you very much for the compliments Steve. Customer Satisfaction is my main concern ... always has been and always will be.

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey Vinnie,

You and Ron are the best... I have never experienced the kind of hospitality and service Mariner's Cove serves up.... You are by far the best servicing boat dealers, I have come across..... From now on, any referrals I give out are going your way.....
Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference.... It is great to have a NY Metro Fountain dealer who goes above and beyond....

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

By the way ... The Outstanding Resteraunt that Steve is referring to is Called Margarita Island and is located at 43 Canoe Place Rd. in Hampton Bays. Anyone who wished to try them please tell them Mariner's Cove referred you.
Thanks.

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

It was late and I couldn"t spell Margarita..... What can I say.... LOL

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

That's OK Steve, Vinnie was having difficulty with "restaurant"...

Vinnie: Finally got the chance to wring out my 29 yesterday still couldn't manage more than 70 with the old 26 Bravos, I am trying the 28's today. All else worked perfectly...thanks again for finding that difficult problem. Ask Ron where my 35 is!!!

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Yeah I noticed that. My mind sometimes thinks faster than I can type so I mess letters up. Guess I will have to try using that spell check feature at the bottom.


HOOKD ON FONICS WERKED 4 ME!

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey Gary,

When are the three of us getting together to run our boats... We'll do a photo shoot...

Duncan

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Spoke with Gary today Dragon... Looks like maybe next Sunday...

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Duncan...looks good for next Sunday. I will let you all know for sure mid-week. I have to fill you in on our trip to "view" the NYC Poker run...pretty wild! Talk with you both soon.

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Where is everyone?

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Count me in.
Has anyone posted this in the general forum?
It's a great venue for all of us [performance boaters] to "show off" our stuff!
Great idea. See you all there!
Chris

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey nolimits,
I started another thread over on the Superboat forum:

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...9528post999528

My count from the CT river is 3 Superboats, 5-6 total and growing.
Maybe Christian knows of a few more...

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hi all,

Steve (Nolimits) is away on business but has been in contact with the powers that be at Claudio's. They were grousing a bit at our choice of weekends (tall ships), but relented in the end. We were strongly advised to make sure that we show up no later than 1115 for an 1130 docking...anything later will be a problem. Steve assured him we would make it so since it is in our own best interest to do so. Hope you are all looking forward to this run as much as I. See you all then.

Gary

PS Greg, are you still comin'?

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Ok guys, time to wake up.... Went to Claudio's with Gferdon this Sunday and had a blast. It took us 2.5 hours to get there from Islip. What a drive, super boats, bikes and people there. Above all the food was great! Just fantastic a ride. :) Hope everyone is ready to go.

:eureka: It is critical that we get there no later than 11:30. Docking is tight and we will be rafting - so bring bumpers. Dragonfire, you'll need to get the big ones that boats use.... None of those Jetski bumpers.. :eek:

We need to check in and discuss where we are starting from and what the plans are!! Tripps and friends are trailoring their boats (I think to the parking lot of Claudio's :rolleyes: ). Who is on the South run and who wants to meet in Babylon, then Hecksher? Peconic where will we meet you?? What's happening on the North side... WAKE UP!!! Check in.....

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Steve + Gary,
Glad you had a good time..... I'll buy the Big Boy Bumpers.....
How was the wind on the way back???? I just blasted around the bay yesterday...
Drank with Capt Bob.... Went to Argyle with Rich and Leslie for dinner....
Steve , I can't tell you how great it is to have my boat on the lift... I feel like a human again... Not beholding to any one to splash my boat..... Even though I was paying $100 round trip, I felt Like I was on the pay no mind list.....

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Duncan,
The water on the way back was snotty for sure. Mostly head on which the boat ate up. We hit 3 foot rollers and at 55 we had some ocassional air. No slamming at all, but it took concentration.

We went into the ocean via Moriches and came in through Shinecock. Did 58 the whole way over slow motion swells. Couldn't have been sweeter. The lock was open, which saved time. The Peconic was flat on the way to Claudio's. We took the Northern route there and the Southern route back. On the way back, once we turned West, we saw snot. Sucked a little coming in the the Great South Bay from Bellport Bay. Headed southwest, ran the valley and then the flats - it was a breeze....

Had a blast... Glad you had a good day too.....

Steve

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Going to Claudio's tomorrow (Tuesday) night after work for a burger.
Weather is looking great! Should be fun!
Peconic, You out there? Your box is full...
We'll be there 6-6:30pm. I'll call if I don't here from you...

Nolimits, we are getting it together slowly. Check my thread on the Superboat Forum...

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Ditto all that Steve said vis' a vis' our run yesterday, it was great! I made the mistake of stopping to let mommy use the head and lost Steve. I proceeded to run on the north side of the bay and the full fury of mother nature...it was a rough run. Even getting the boat on the trailer was a chore. We got home, cleaned her up and collapsed for the evening! Old age is creeping up on me.

Looks like there will be no takers from the north shore in my neck of the woods. I plan to surrender my "Captain of the North Shore Gang" title and catch up with all of you at Heckshire ramp. Looking forward to seeing all of you then.

Duncan: I would have launched your boat for $75.00 a throw...still would have treated you like s**t though!! See ya' soon.

GF

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Port Jeff this weekend?

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

cig1988...I don't understand your question??? The run is scheduled for Sat. 7/10. If you check the thread origin you will note that we were planning two routes which turned into three. South shore, North shore and later Connecticut (Old Saybrook). Unfortunately there have been no takers from the North shore as of yet. Where do you boat...Port Jeff (that is where I primarily launch). Let us know and we will make it happen.

GF

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Don't tease us Cig1988.... We would love to have a Cigarette boat in out midst!! Let us know what you want to do!!

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

I dock out of Mt. Sinai but been trailering it this season. Due to medical reasons I could'nt get the hydro-hoist in this year. The '89 Bullet has been up for sale and really can not make any future plans just in case it's gone. Just put the boat in Newsday last week and not 1 call. Still getting internet call's but alot of tire kickers. Once the '89 is gone I have the '88 Bullet which is shy of 1 engine.
Anyway, I'll be out in pirates cove this weekend, feel free to stop by and tie up if you like. Stan.

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Stan,

I maintain a mooring in the cove as well...29 Fever with splash light graphics. I will look you up and we can chat. Talk with you then...

Gary

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey guys, anyone leaving from babylon area on saturday morning? I will be using tanner park ramp and looking for company on the ride east, the other babylon boyz are trailering out east ( thats cheating tripps!)

Jim

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

OK Gary, see you there. I'm not sure where in hell my mooring is at. Pete @ sea tow keeps moving it on me. @ weeks ago I was in 2' in the northeast corner.
Stan.

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Just my $0.02 ... I think we need to have a driver's meeting like we did last time. We need to know exactly what is going on and where everyone is meeting.

-Vinnie
Mariner's Cove

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Yep.... On the East side of the Treatment plant in front of the Fred Shores beach club (In front of Tripps canal) at 8:30 AM. Look for a 29 Fountain with American Flag graphics..... Anyone else in??? How about you DragonFire???

Steve

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Come on.... You'll test it on the 10th, what else do you needs... Is it true you are towing all the way to Claudio's Parking lot??? :) :) Tell us where you will be and when so that that we can hook up a long the way?? Otherwise we will meet you there...

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Great idea, surprised someone did not suggest it sooner. Let me call Gregg and see what he's got... I'll post later tonight...

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Hey no-limits,
By Bergen point at 8:30 am sat. I will be there !
30 superboat "JESSIE JAMES III"
see ya then

Jim

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

Anybody know a hotel/marina in the area of claudios, we were thinking of spending the night out east and coming back sunday

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

How about you DragonFire??!!

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

jcap,

About a zillion (is that a word?) bed & breakfasts in the Greenport area but, due to the tall ships being in town, my guess is that rooms will be scarce. It can't hurt to call and check. You will also need to check on overnight berthing...Claudio's would be a good start, if not, there are several marinas right there. Another option is Shelter Island, probably heavily booked and pricey, but a nice place to hang out. Just type in Greenport and Shelter Is. on your browser and you will have options galore...good luck and hope to see you next week.

GF

Re: Mid Summer's Peconic Boat Blast
 

tripps,zz,
I'll hopefully be testing on the way to Claudio's.
Pulled the engine last night. Picking up a new gimbal today. Drive comes in on Wednesday. Going to be a mad scramble. But you never know....

jcap, lots of nice places to stay on the boat too.
If you don't find a place, 22 miles to the CT river and the Saybrook point Inn.
You may want to add to your adventure....
