If I slow down a little bit with work maybe I'll do it for you. Its not a hard job just a little time consuming. Probably a few hrs of work depending on how accesible it is in there.

Theres defiantely some real Jerks at the launches sometimes.

You just have to try and keep cool and realize, Its not thier fault god made them STUPID.LOL


I know what you mean though, there are guys who just dont get launch etiquette.

I wouldnt get out of boating just because of that. These things happen with boats, the good news is no one got hurt, your family is OK, and your boat is repairable.

CT definately needs to make the waters more accessible to boaters. The lauch in OS was jam packed by 11:00AM with no spaces for parking trailers .

This is why we need a club! 1 group with many members to help make sure our interests are protected in the state.

To help make sure that launch rules are enforced so that lauches dont get washed out and unusable, Morons dont take up the dock all day, Etc etc.

Only an assembly of instate boaters can get issues recognized by our local and state government.

The more who join, the more influence we will have over what happens to boaters in CT.

How do you feel the handling is between a DV and a CAT dan or ken?

I have never even been in a CAT before. I have always heard they are dangerous as hell.

Everytime I have been invited on one it was some Freaking NUT driving it with more money than brains so I decided Id sit it out.LOL

You see things different once you have kids.LOL

That Between the bridges run soudns like a blast maybe we should be doing a Mebership drive there that day. I probably wont have a boat anyway. I might hop a ride with my brother for the day if hes going or even watching.

Once you go cat you never go back unless its an Outerlimits Vee!! To me its much safer running a cat especially at high speeds than a vee. We ran to Newport with some decent chop in the sound and ran 60 without pushing it hard at all. Then the 6ft swells and the boat wakes came and we never had to slow down! On the way back we ran between 70-90 the whole way after the rough **** in the ocean and could of run 100+. The cats just march right through and over the waves and this is only in a 32ft Skater!! Just awesome!!
