Be careful out there this coming weekend guys, I'm sure they will be pulling people over for any excuse they can find... like lack of muffers and tacking a DUI on the back side.

Scot, that rig gonna be ready? :party-smiley-004:

As I said in the other thread, I think Mike is going to come down to give me a hand with the blower so it should be back together on Sunday AM. I'd like to take it out to do some testing, but I am concerned about being chosen to donate to the state...

i have hardly seen any dep or river police patrolling and im out all weekend on the boat. not sure why this coming weekend would be any different. i think the news, and people are just creating rumors to make boaters nervous and more cautious.

Justin,

Not the case. I was talking to a cop friend Sat. night, the state has issued grant money for a weekend show of force on the water. Many of the town cops are following suite. Kind of like a state wide check point on the water if you will.

If you're drinking or doing something slightly illegal this coming weekend, be very careful! It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out performance boats will be targeted. I would suggest being super careful around the lower part of the river down to the mouth... and leaving rafting areas like Hamburg Cove or the Thimbles.

this weekend may be different but i remember way back when (1 month ago) people were saying that dep was gonna hit the river hard this summer to make revenue. the fact is i have never seen the river so empty of police and dep.

Well, out in full force or not, they look for boats like ours. I will be extra careful next weekend for sure.....

YUP, Work your whole life, do the right thing, maybe accumulate a little wealth to enjoy yourself with your family, And because of that your "perceived" as a bad thing and your penalized for it in today's America.

Ill bring the dealer plate and "water test" my boat fuk'em yea scot ill be there sunday.
