Gee... look what illiterate idiot is back :grinser010:

hEY JO you want to start with me again! I stayed off your case "DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED TOOL"

Oh by the way let me see if you will be there to battle NJ for the speed limits? You have done knothing for the boating industry except shoot off your big ass mouth!

Frank,

Don't think for one minute TD would show up to an NJBRC meeting. Remember he has so many family members in law enforcement that he knows he won't have to worry about a speed limit on the water if one was even to be passed.

Besides,

I think the powerboaters would be much better off without someone like him to be at the meeting to help us with our cause... :eek:

Just look at how many friends he made here. He made so many enemies in NJ that he had to go to Long Island to make new ones. Maybe we'll get lucky and he will move to Long Island.:rolleyes:

Hey Frankie i gotta tell ya...that couldnt have been said any better..Dave is a huge (he he ) asset to the boating community for sure

Bernie I am proud to call Dave a friend. He always had a caring spot for anyone that needed a hand, from the day I met him in 1999 at the Radar Shoot Out in Bayville, I have found a part of boating and a community that has become my part of life, In 2001 when I was rushed to the Hospital it wasn't long before the big guy found out and he was there, I have watched Dave raise money for a family that needed a truck to helping Kids that just wanted a day they can enjoy boating. I know if I ever needed anything Dave would be there to help "He Is Just That Kind Of Person"
"OH TRIPLE CHITLESS" I guess in your life is kissing someones rear must come natural to make a remark like that" A Friend dosen't have to kiss another friends rear because true friends are just that true friends but you wouldn't know that because you seem to have no friends on everyboard you slime your way on " NOW understand you started this war with me big mouth!

WOW what a F ING DUMBA$$ :angry-smiley-038:

It's great that someone that large is such a nice guy :party-smiley-004:

Who's the idiot that wanted to tangle with him?

:food-smiley-007:

Probably the rudest comment I have ever seen on a boating forum thread where everyone is trying to prevent a stupid law, and an unfair prejudice, which will hurt everyone who wishes to boat in the coastal waters of New Jersey.

Do you think you are protected of proving your bull by a speed limit?

Don't Feed The Troll!!!!!!

Now that I am pissed off at this Tripple Crap head for not only being rude, not giving a damn about what goes on in HIS bay or even having the respect to shut his mouth on a thread that Dave is fighting to keep speed limits off the bay. I will have the respect and start a new thread. A Vote To Kick Tripple Digits Off Offshore Only "HE WANTS A WAR HE HAS GOT ONE"

Thanks for the kind words everyone! They are greatly appreciated!

As for the NJN Piece, I thought it came out pretty good. It drove home the message that enforcement of current laws is the answer and not another new law that can't and will not be enforced.

Come Tuesday I will be contacting Senator Sarlo's office to get together with him face to face (just the two of us) to discuss like our positions openly and honestly. Hopefully when I am done he will understand THE FACTS and we can move on together to get more money for the state police marine division.

If not.....the WAR OF THE FACTS will be on!:evilb:

Think about what this thread was originally started about, and look what it's turned into.
I know I'm one of the more guilty of Hi-Jacking threads, but I try to keep it to the Bilge.
This is a pretty serious situation, lives were lost.
And now because of that, we are facing legislation to change our freedoms.
DaveP is fronting a battle to make sure that doesn't happen due to one person doing something stupid.
Applause!!!
Now, another stupid person wants to get in the mix for some face time to support his own cause (whatever that is), and get some attention.
OK, I'll give it to him.
He's got a fast chitbox of a boat.
Congrats.
Not as fast as he claimed, but fast indeed.
Now go away, and lets get back to the important issues at hand.

More people neeed to vote on the get rid of him thread and send it to the Mods and maybe, just maybe he will go away.

I wish we had a Dave P to represent us around here..

Such a tool...

thats funny:drink:

Aside from da interruption, any new reports on the accident ?

The State Police are having a difficult time piecing everything together. There is a possibility that there was another boat that hit the Whaler first. That is trying to be determined.

There was a dive team out at the scene of the accident again last week.

Stay tuned.........

Three NJ State Police boats were heavily patrolling the entrance/exit to F-Cove late this afternoon. There was also a boat named ORION from Point Pleasant, NJ who's occupants had a bad habit of staring at everyone through binoculars and taking pictures with a large lense camera (in F-Cove). The crackdown has begun!

Keep up the great work, Dave P! Your efforts are appreciated.

i saw 2 state police boats flying through the metedeconk heading into fcove with lights flashing around 3pm yesterday...does anyone know what that was about??, hope they dont close that place down

Word has it that Brick is trying to/wants to close it down but they are trying to make it the State Polices job to do so and enforce. The Staties are not interested in having that responsibility so while the political BS goes on, F-Cove will stay open.

IMO, truth be told, the cops need to spend more time in there if it is going to stay open. Way to many underage drinkers and kids on Jet-skis on plane and doing acrobatics in there this year. Used to be a great party spot but went severly downhill this year, again, IMO

regarding the guy on the jetski doing flips all day...it was cool the first 3000 times he did them...its getting old and just gonna end up with that jetski through the side of someone's boat

Is there a link to the news clip?

I like the strippers.

F-Cove the NJs Lake H on the East Coast :ernaehrung004:

Hey
 

Been very crowded this year. Maybe the price of gas. For those unfamilure with the area.
http://www.f-cove.com/

I never went there but I've passed it a couple dozen times. You go to these anchorage places because they're fun to hang out and the water is calm... the wakes from the jetskis all day long would really piss me off! :angry-smiley-038:

Our local anchorage places have also been packed this year... Seems there's less boating everywhere and more hangin out..

On Sunday we took a trip from Sandy Hook to Freeport Long Island... The seas were calm and it was 85 degree's... We left about 11:30 and passed maybe 5 boats on the ocean all day long....

The kid with the black jet ski that has orange and silver decals needs to take his one trick repertoire to open water before he causes an accident in F-Cove.

GO F@@K YOYRSELF JACK@@F :violent-smiley-021:

It is great to see the State Police cracking down on stupidity on the water.

I was with the State Police tonight and their budget is EXTREMELY tight these days....they are not even sure if they can provide support for the offshore race this coming weekend?

i was out there in the F Cove for a bit on Monday afternoon bout 5ish and saw the staties grab a girl and a guy from a boat and leave with them on board 1 of the patrol boats

The NJ Boat Regulation Commission (BRC) is planned for Wednesday, September 10th at 10:00am. The meeting is being held at:

Martin Bloom Community Pavilion
101 South Huntington Ave
Margate, NJ 08402

For directions, visit www.mapquest.com

In response to the tragic boating accident that took place on August 3rd on the Metedeconk River there have been renewed calls for speed limits on all inland waterways. BRC Chairman, Roger Brown, has indicated that he plans to propose a speed limit at the next meeting of the BRC.

JOIN ME IN PRESENTING THE FACTS!!
Please make plans to attend this meeting!!

This was a terrible tragedy and the NJPPC extends its deepest sympathies to the families involved. However, the facts from this incident must be ascertained prior to considering any proposal with regard to speed or any other additional boating regulations. The investigation is still underway; no charges have been filed and the facts are still being gathered.

Therefore, it is presumptuous to assume that speed was a factor and that a speed limit may have in some way prevented this incident from occurring. The NJPPC is strongly in support of efforts to promote boating safety on the water, education and enhanced enforcement of the current boating laws.

Increased law enforcement is the answer - not speed limits!

Best Regards,
Dave Patnaude
President
NJ Performance Powerboat Club

Its now or never folks !!!

I knew it wouldn't take long before Save Barnegat Bay would restart their push for the 30 mph on all NJ Waterways all at times !

I personally cannot get to the meeting but I sent a care package with Dave P that will most likely open some eyes ! ;)

After the meeting I will let you all know just what it was that I sent......:ernaehrung004:

OK!!!!! We have completed the "TRUTH ABOUT BOATING ACCIDENTS AND WHY SPEED LIMITS ARE NOT THE ANSWER TO SAFER BOATING IN NJ!" 36 pages in length!

This is what I am presenting tomorrow morning to the NJ Boat Regulation Commission as well as printing hundreds of copies to share with every State Senator and Assemblyman to spread the FACTS not some half baked idea by an opportunist politician!

VISIT www.njppc.com and download your copy!

PS...Sharkey thanks for the pics! :cool:

Dave very Impresive

Very well done

Best of luck today

Some good news. 2nd biggest paper in the state just published this editorial today:

http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...6/1029/OPINION

A fatal nighttime boating accident in the Metedeconk River in Brick this summer is fueling the arguments of those who believe imposing a speed limit on boaters is needed to improve safety in and around Barnegat Bay. When members of the state Boat Regulation Commission meet today in Margate, they should do what they did the last time the subject was considered: Vote no.

New Jersey already has some of the strictest boating laws in the country. The problem isn't lack of rules; it's lack of enforcement. Adding more regulations that would serve only to further restrict responsible boaters in both the commercial and pleasure boating communities would be a mistake. The focus should be on improving boating education and finding ways to improve self-policing efforts.

In the wake of the tragic death of Robert Post of Essex Fells, whose 17-foot Boston whaler was struck by a speedboat at 1 a.m. Aug. 3, the environmental group Save Barnegat Bay has renewed its call for a speed limit of 30 or 35 mph in the bay. And state Sen. Paul A. Sario, D-Bergen, plans to introduce legislation calling for a nighttime speed limit as low as 10 mph in state waters.

Boaters who ignore existing boating safety laws aren't likely to act any more responsibly if speed limits are enacted. What's needed are increased resources for the state marine police, a commitment by law-abiding boaters to report those who disregard the laws and a renewed emphasis on boating education.

It makes no sense to impose restrictions on the many for the mistakes of the very few — especially when existing laws are not being adequately enforced.

Dave, it sounds as if some folks are starting to listen. Let's hope it's the right folks......great job. Keep giving them hell.

Excellent ! Good Luck today Dave !
