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.

Hey Larry! The one and only! I knew you were on here but I didn't know your screen name. How's your boat project coming along, did you paint yet?

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.
