If I do call them, how many folks would be interested in a slip for that Sat. night? I was thinking running over Sat. AM and come back early afternoon on Sun...
Sounds like four or five boats at this point... Myself, Brendan, Frank, possibly Kev and Jay. Anyone else interested?

I talked with a buddy last night that leaves his 40' cruiser at Brewers in Deep River. Two things came out of the conversation...
He mentioned his props have taken a beating going up and down the river due to the crap in the water. He said at any given point there are logs floating around and even so sitting in his slip at the moment! Like he mentioned, if they're their, it's hard to avoid them. And this coming from someone in a 40' cruiser, so you know he's not running at crazy speeds.
The other thing we talked about was doing a weekend trip over to Montauk Yacht Club. I guess he's been over there quite a few times and says it's awesome. Slip fee gets you full access to everything and claims the night life is great as well. We talked about running over there for Memorial Day weekend, or possibly the 4th of July. He's traveled the world and for him to highly recommend it, it must be a good time! Still thinking about it, but it could be a lot of fun if several of us made a weekend out of it... Might be too hot at night w/o AC for the 4th, so Memorial Day might be a better idea.
Let me know if you guys are interested as well.

I was the only "go-fast" boat at the Marine Basin and my boat got treated like $hit there. They moved it while I wasn't there to a spot with rotted out pilings, and didn't move my bumpers. The boat was rubbing on the bare pilings and the dry wood shavings were all over the boat. I wasn't real happy with the place and will try my hardest to use any other marina over there. I'm sure with a group of boats they'll be better, and i've heard MYC is good.
Anyways it looks like you're trying to go for Memorial day weekend, but from experience I know the 4th won't let you down either. Unfortunately I have to work most of Mem. day weekend, so I wont be able to attend that one.

Yes, I need 2 puke tanks. Oil comin up through the breathers and making a mess.....may switch props to spin in and see if I gain any speed. Also, Bret at Bblades, says he can make the boat run 85+ with a set of labbed 30P Maximus props! ........but they will cost 3400.00 , so 83 it is!
, so 83 it is!Any chance Bret might have a set of loaner props to see what you get out of them? A lot of money, but probably a decent bang for the buck if you want to go faster... especially if you can gain 3+mph out of them. I guess it's lways nice to have a set of spare props on hand as well.

The Sutphen Outrageous should have been delivered to Competition Marine Center today to have them inspect the boat and do a couple of things to it. I need to call them tomorrow to discuss the boat. I registered the trailer last week and FedEx'd the plate to them today. I have someone lined up to deliver the boat with a pickup date of the 9th. A few days later it should in Connecticut.

I went to Montauk last year for the 4th of July. Place was mobbed. Streets were packed, beach was mega-mobbed, lots going on. I had to leave before the fireworks show @night, but it was obvious that it would be a good show. People were heading to the beach to get a spot @ 4pm and the show didn't start til 9.
I was the only "go-fast" boat at the Marine Basin and my boat got treated like $hit there. They moved it while I wasn't there to a spot with rotted out pilings, and didn't move my bumpers. The boat was rubbing on the bare pilings and the dry wood shavings were all over the boat. I wasn't real happy with the place and will try my hardest to use any other marina over there.
