Yeah I have used the ramp at the end of sloop creek. It sucks but use it when I am in a jam. I am not doing anything to my boat. It ran great all year and just want to enjoy it this season. I know JP. Does he still have that 67-69 camaro with that 509 in it.

Quote: Yep, that is Steve's old boat. When he got it and I brought back my father's boat from Florida we ran one day and he beat me twice, but I would would have liked to have another shot at him, I must admit I had two thrust washers on (yeah I screwed-up) on each drive, so when I went to trim out the I kept dropping speed, I can admit a mistake, looked at the props with Bob Wallace at Offshore Performance in Egg Harbor Twp, think I dropping fuel pressure hence that is why I was slowing down, it was slowing down because I had two thrust wahers, (I did have a fuel leak, but that wasn't the reason I lost nor the reason for dropping speed), it was a good laugh for him, and for me too. I would have liked to have had another shot at him, because my Phantom is all sorted out.

And I would like to run the Italian Stallion Fountain, maybe he is playing possum and really runs 90+, and is holding back on that extra 5 mph in order to drum up a race or two.

Never know unless I get on the water this summer.

Picture of Steve and his son, with my relatives on my boat at Lloyd's creek two years ago, a great day on the water, two 34' Phantoms.
Smarty, ever on the Great Egg Harbor Bay or Egg Harbor River? How about AC or Brigantine? Can't say I've ever seen your boat around.

Quote: Whatever happened to BJ Maher's last Activator? That boat ran awfully good. That son b*tch could run, was too much for the Phantom when the Phantom had 502's now the Phantom has the 540's and I would guess the Activator is still probably way faster.

And C-Spray/Chuck's Mannerfelt .....been reading about boat with the repower, another single engine hot-rod.

That single engine Activator s the type of hot-rod that I like seeing on the water.

Line em-up Stallion ......gotta run em, may not win, but ya gotta try.
There was a red 29' Activator that used to launch at Shady River Marina on the Egg Harbor. Is that the boat your talking about?
