there was a lot of police presence near harbor park...

I just got an email from Billy (NPBA) and there are MORE fees...... 1$ a foot to dock over at Montauk, $26 bucks a person for lunch at Montauk as well.

We'll be out watching the beginning of the run...... and probably end up somewhere! :coolcowboy:

You were doing 100? Wow. Shes runnin good!

I am scheduled to go to Claudios on Friday for a guys day with my brother in law from Missori. I will still have company here next weekend so Im out for any weekend plans.

I am at the airport waiting to board for Punta Cana won't be around this coming weekend but I know that myself and my buddy Charlie are going to head out somewhere the following weekend so who ever would like to run somewhere like Block or port jeff, mark your calendar

We ran from Bristol to Claudios yesterday. You should of came over Scot. It was big **** in Block Island Sound!!

You know all these fees and add ons are in the grand scheme of things only a drop in the bucket compared to the overall cost for the day. I've done the math and am having a hard time justifing spending the $1500 or so it will cost me to do the run.

And FWIW, I saw Jeff posted there was some type of CPBA discount avaible, and I asked him to send me details, but I haven't heard anything. If any members are on the fence, it might be worth talking to Jeff to see what the deal is...


While it might be kind of a d!ck move, I most likely will also head out to the Pavilion to watch the start, but I dont think I'll be joing the run.

It might be a Claudios day for us too.

She's running good, I was at 103 and still accelerating hard when I pulled the sticks back due to upcoming trafic. The mid and top end acceleration is addicting. Makes for a lot of fun out in the rough stuff. Christine got a little freaked out at one point while we were running across the Sound and I had to stop and talk here down... :lolhit:

No chance of getting out for at least Sat.??? Isn't it about time they take a day trip to 6 flags or something, haha!

I'm into a BI run if you're going.

I know, I ran over to LI, but didnt bother going to Claudios. Had a great time playing out there... :cool:

i agree 100%.

because its a poker run, everyone including the club has there hand out trying to make a buck. The Montauk Yacht Club should feel ashamed for taking advantage of particpiants. To get your "included free lunch" you have to pay to park. Thats complete BS. They know you are only there for 45 minutes. I wouldnt be surprised if there was also a BI docking fee. The hidden costs just seem to add up to a ridiculous amount of money. Its not worth it in my eyes. A 25 year old like myself just cant support that kind of day.

p.s. scot we might be right next to you come saturday morning. ill bring the donuts lol

I might be sidelined again this weekend....P.O.S. truck needs head gaskets and I can't get anybody to work on it. My dealer says mid-August :angry-smiley-038:

The Orient Point, BI, and New London "stops" are all just locations they are handing out cards from a boat, so there's obviously no fees.

At MYC, docking is $1/ft plus $26/person for lunch.

I get everyone needs to make a buck and it's not cheap to put something like this on, I'm just not sure I'm up to spending the $1500 for the day to do it. For those that do the PR, I'm sure they'll have a great time!
