Default 226 Miles in 3 Days

I thought it would be cool to share the distance we traveled over the past 3 days in a Fastech 292...

CT --> RI = 78 Miles
Dunkin Donuts Run = 10 Miles
Gas + Lunch = 20 Miles
2 Trips to Newport = 40 Miles
RI --> CT = 78 Miles

Give or take a few miles...226 Miles over the course of 3 days (Thursday - Saturday)

That aint shabby for a < 30' boat...

30 ft its a forumla 292 they count the swim platform so its a 27 FT boat.LOL

Thats a little boat for all that running in fairly rough water too, make sure you take the over the road tax off that fuel bill at the end of the year!

should have been at the PR you missed a great time.

i know, i am upset we couldnt run but by the time it was going to end and we still had to run all the way back to CT. i checked the marine forecasts and the water was supposed to kick up later in the day. it wasnt going to happen. i hope you guys have some pictures and vids. was this run better than the OS run?

There were parts run really well and a few parts not so good IMO, to be fair to billy the event had its issues too , but not as many or severe as billys event.

there certainly was ALOT more included though.
still cost me big money for the day though even with my brother and mike telow helping out I spent $550 for the day. over all it was probably an $850 day for everyone on the boat.

Fuel 800
entry 200
lunch stop was 100 for drinks food apps but well worth it
50 in truck fuel with all the running around. Jeff what issues do you think there was. Besides the launch.
