We will be hanging around the State Marina area. No real plans yet.

How do you drive 2 boats at once? LOL I'll try to post what time I will be at the ramp if you need a hand.

OK, two sections of the windshields are in. I haven't figured out how I'm gonna finish off the frames where I had to gring out the old ones but they look great compared to what I was trying to look thru before.

Planning a trip down to the Chesepeke bay for the weekend of June 25th and 26th. We usually stay at the Holiday Inn in Northeast MD and put in at the marina next to the Goose. Leaving Philly early that morning since it's only an hours tow from here. Figured I would put this out there if anyone else might want to join in for that weekend. Cruise down to Jellies and spend the day into the evening?

I should be hitting the river after this weekend. Have a funeral to go to and still have to get the third section in this week I hope!

I was out at Neshaminy today. Boat ran perfect. UNTIL I added some gas at Curtins.. I'm not point fingers until I go through some trouble shooting and diagnostics. First time dropping in at Neshaminy, and it has to the PALM SPRINGS of boat ramps. nice.

Man that sucks if it's bad fuel from curtains. It's probly been sitting in their tank since last season. I hope you get it cleared out without too much trouble. That's why I never fuel up on the water unless it dire need. What are you doin up Philly way?

As for me, windshields are in. I still need to finish off the frames but that won't hold me back. I have a check list of minor things to go over while I'm waiting for my props to return from Murphys. 2 weeks I guess?

That cat has to be the fastest boat I've heard of, around Jersey anyway. I need to change my sig because life changed, and I'm keeping the boat in Upper Bucks. Neshaminy is the closest place to to water for me now.

Wave me down if you see me out there. Neshaminy ramp is great. As long as I am theres plenty of ramp even at dead low tide. I've never went off the end. No, I'm not the fastest boat out there. There's some guys around that really know how to bring it and have the power to do it. There's a few new comers this year too Ive heard. I think I can hold my own though and I'm new to the game but learning fast. My pockets are kinda shallow though unlike some others out there. We've got a few of us going down to the Chesepeke Bay on the 25th if your interested?

If you have to buy gas on the water, go to Dredge Harbor. High test fuel that is changed over quite frequently. Even the NJ State Police get there fuel there all year round!!
