Fun day in NJ with OSO Member!
 
While on vacation in NJ, I met up with a guy I met on OSO, "SVL-Warlock" aka Andy and I got a ride with him and my dad last Sunday. Then on Thursday, I was able to hang out at his marina (Sea Village Marina) for the whole day. I got a ride first on a Velocity (dont know the length) and then for the whole rest of the day, Andy's 25' Eliminator Eagle...
It was a fun day! We met up with some people who had a Checkmate and an Active Thunder at the dock. It was a pretty fun day! Nothing beats riding around on a powerboat all day!

Here is the Velocity. It has a supercharged big block!

An Active Thunder had gone too far down the river and basically got stuck in the shallow water, and he was in need of a new water pump, so the Checkmate pulled him out. We had to find those 2 boats, so I was out all day on the Eliminator finding them, and then we met them at a friends dock. It was like a little dock gathering.

Here are the 2 boats..

Where are the photos, they didn't show. You were at my dock if you were with the active thunder for repairs.

That's odd. The photo's should of shown. And yep, we were there, it's a nice dock!
If I am correct, I met someone, was it your wife? She drove a Volvo.

Yes that was my wife, but the volvo was a friends. The jeep in the driveway is her company car.

What boat do you guys run? I saw a Skater with o/b power on a trailer- looked good!

31ameroff 08-22-2010 04:28 PM

We have a 31 American Offshore with 300 merc outboards.
That's a new 28 skater at the marina with 1997 2.5 offshore mercs off of his 24. We had a 24 skater before the 31 AO.
