Looking for New England Based People
Just wondering if anyone is in the New England area. Just wondering because next summer like to get around to a few more area and people with speed boat litte get-to-gether and have some fun around the bay or in the ocean. I like to go to block and Martha's Vineyard Day Trips or Over night anyway
let me know thanks all Mike |
Re: Looking for New England Based People
There's a bunch of us that run around Long Island Sound. It's no push to get us out to the east end of LI either.

Re: Looking for New England Based People
Block Island 4th of July every year.
We raft up in salt pond. Its a great time! Consider yourself invited! Gerry |
Re: Looking for New England Based People
We go to block a couple times each summer...it must be crazy on the 4th... do you overnight or is it a day trip for you?
i try to stay away from block during the season, but getting a group together over there for the 4th sounds like a pretty cool idea... |
Re: Looking for New England Based People
I'm in between Mt. Hope bay and Narragansett bay all the time. Usually drop in at Somerset ramp.

Old harbour is packed and the ferry wakes will kill ya. New harbour is where we have the big party! We call a Cab before leaving the mother ship they pick us up right at dingy beach. As you know its a great time. So what ya say a plan for 4th of 2007? |

Re: Looking for New England Based People
Hey whats goin on guys love the turn out that sound sliek it will be. Also i would post a pic but in the middle of a boat transer. Had a 222 stinger big block but looking into something a little bigger for the ocean. Was thinking of a 24 SS Switzer (90) or a 242LS (90) Formula. Also any suggestions would be greatly appriciated
Thanks Again Mike |

Mike as for your search, I would stay with the better known brands...the quality of the Formula or the Scarab will be better than the Switzer. I've seen these brands up close... If it were my money, I'd go with the Formula. |
