I never did it in a fast boat. I've done it in the slow azz fireboat and it takes several hours at 7-9 mph. I said slow didn't I? In a fast boaqt I figure an hour and a half maybe 2 depending where you put in at. I have to put in at Croyden above Philly so I'm figuring 2+ hours. I'd be better to drive down to Willming ton area and put in somewhere down there. I have to look into ramps that I can use. I need good water and a long ramp.

For the record I have been using Delaware city ramp , 3 wide , the best ramp I ever used in the 25 years and plenty of parking . I will be splashing my 32 Skater this year

The Delaware City ramp is fantastic. There is one place on the canal and another few places within reasonable run time to get drinks and food.
