I really like Hayes Haven. Nice folks.
I backed the trailer close to the dock and slid the boat off and tied up. Plenty of room on the dock. Still tight finding a place to park the truck and trailer because of all the boats still stored on land but that will ease up as soon as they start going in the water. I paid $160.00 but its worth it to me to get the fresh water flush. Not to mention I have a steel trailer under the larger Sutphen.
After 5pm you can bring your boat to the gas pump dock and rinse off, or there is a special washing pad by the boat lift you can use when your boats on the trailer. When I asked they didn't mention any additional charge to rinse off.
I couldn't see what it was because its still under cover but Jamie, the owner has something atleast 40ft or better with triples in it. Or atleast I think it is his. Someone mentioned at the yard that he goes on some of the runs also.

I usually get it in the center of haddam on my way by, but it's really busy on the weekends and I get a huge attitude sometimes with a 60' rig. Plus it's a p.i.a. getting off the highway and back on. I come from Haddam down rt. 9 right into saybrook, so I can stop anywhere along the way.

Sometimes I think it's worth paying more to just fuel up on the river because its easier. Sometimes takes twice as long because you have to fight with the ruh'tards zooming in front of you to fill up their priuses on the way to church. Just looking for some opinions, this 1st tank is going to be painful cuz I put her away almost empty last year.

Once in awhile if I'm bored at night after dinner I'll hook up the boat and drive to my local Citgo here in East Lyme and get gas. I just as the dude to take the $75.00 "STOP" off and I can get as much as I want. It does help if you speak Indian though.......

I refuse to pay "water gas" prices for as long as I can!!!!! Next boat that will end though..... as I won't be trailering it!

I can never seem to find the 93 on the water anywhere An dthe one over by herbs place always has POLICE boats sitting out in front so I am all set with that place.LOL

Get a shell card go to Old Lyme Dock and get gas you get at least .10 per gallon discount at hte pump then you get cash off the balance on the card. I forget exactly how it goes but ask Dave who owns the place and he will explain it. Not to mention you can get the road tax back by filling out the state form(which I have never done)
