Not sure as of yet. Went out last Sat. (went for a good ride to Tims's 1 then back to Gilligans and returned to Cobb Island) bypassing working on the Searay. So we need to get that boat ready to go in soon. Might try to fit in both if we can arrange it :D:D

Did you just get the AT? Post some pics. Do you put in at Smallwood?

ENFORCER24 04-22-2009 11:51 AM

I might try and get the boat wet saturday , if the boating gods smile on me and i get my steering issues worked out

but if Bill calls me for a hand on getting his searay ready for water i WILL put that on hold and give him a hand and boat on sunday.

dang Charlie , if i wasnt working the bugs out of my boat these next few weeks i'd love to run with ya down to seabreeze , i still daydream about the 100+ in your Eliminator last summer , that was a blast.

ThruHull 04-22-2009 12:56 PM

yea I got it in Feb, from RI. check out the New boat on the Potomac thread.
I live a mile from Smallwood but I usually launch at Goose Bay, but i do go out at smallwood sometimes ,mainly test runs, weekdays, and to go to Tims I.

OK, I'm pretty sure we met before at the radar run and in the Mattawoman.

I launch at Goose Bay too, but there's usually less drama (waiting) at Smallwood. Plus, I get the season pass for $75 and it's good at ANY MD State park. I hit Sandy Point and Point Lookout ramps occasionally.

My Addiction 04-22-2009 08:03 PM

yea. i remember.
My name is Nick.
Ill see ya out there:ernaehrung004:

my uncles name was Ronnie, you met him at the poker run last year, he just got a 38 te , no cnc props , Charles and Ralph got the 42 lightings, they should be getting them this weekend as well, i almost talked Charles into getting 1075's instead of 700's until he found out the cost to work on them.

Linster 04-23-2009 04:46 AM

I plan on getting out on Saturday as well, bringing a friend of mine from Richmond, Excursion

Ok....I was confused, didnt think you ever said anything about being related to the two couples that bought the 42/700 boats in St. Maries. Was coming over to the Patuxent to meet you guys, county paper says sobriety check points Fri-Sun....think I will stay on this side instead of trailering over to Solomons. But since you dont drink.....you could come to the Potomac:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

45sonic 04-23-2009 04:09 PM

You guys are NOT making it any easier for me to work on the Searay this weekend. Maybe if I can get started early Sat morning and get some things accomplished we'll come out and play.
