Bringing my sample bolt down tomorrow to 8 made a286. Hopefully they will be done quick. Did boat this weekend and it SUCKED!

Letterip.... I know I know ez fix. Just so fukkin sick of working on the thing especially since I'm goin to dismantle it in about a month!

Might just drop it off at my boys Marina. Like I said busy week coming up.

Just ran ply to north river yesterday.
A.m. ride was calm with 1' rollers spaced way out!! Nice..
Afternoon shower sucked.
Pm ride home was decent w 2-3' choppers

Also be aware it is a busy Ramp that can fill parking quickly on wk. ends . Might have to get there early.
Nice dock/ramp & big parking,but busy.

Is everyone still planning on next Saturday?

I believe so. Spoke with my buddy and he's getting the 51 ready to go!

Naaaa we cancelled it because Bill "chewtoy's " sutphen is getting toooo much "man/mecanic love!.......


Tease tease......

Bait.....?????

Yes Tom it's on! & seems to bee lookig like a good showing from my
Phone calls......!!!!

Nah just broke the one, But I wanted to replace them all because Im worried they have work hardened or somthing, come s from all the years racing cars i guess if one broke the rest probbaly arent far behind and I really dont want to lose a 300X at speed.

Of course they were not very strong bolts so now I am wondering if they were meant to be a shear point, and the 286 isnt such a good Idea?? Waiting to here back from merc on that. Might also call the makers of the porta bracket if merc doesnt get back to me soon.

Just want it right and safe!:drink:

Official Update
 

OFFICIAL UPDATE OFFICIAL UPDATE

Talking With Shawn more today...... & he confirmed by a contact of His that it looks like...... WE ARE Going to have a Helicopter Taking organized photos!
Also at a Very Fair Rate to buy the pictures afterwards, unlike the CRACK prices that we have seen from these of sites recently.

We will keep all posted - no guarantees but 95% sure on it.


One thing I am thinking is..... we need a corralling of all the Sutphens together somehow in a photo... We will make a effort to try to organize that with the cameraman.

& maybe a line up of ALL boats in attendance line up style for a picture!

I think at this point ...we need some feedback on Boat / Roll Call on who is planning on attending..... next week.

Keep it short....! We need just a count as everyone reads this if you are coming, .... Post it up here! And if other boats are coming with you but they are not on OSO ... then, speak for them please so we get a accurate count.


I have my Sutphen & my friend Dave with his Powerplay ... so there is 2
Add yours to this count...

Regards
Brian

planning on trying to make it, gotta get a few heads together to make the trek up also depends on how much damage this hurricane causes.

me and lou are maybe. i will know for sure more like wednesday or thursday.

Weather
 

The weather is looking Good for saturday......!!!

I was Just checking the forecast!

Looks like a good turnout, except for a few people from ct, with too many excuses:lolhit:

Hey Jeff have I shamed you into comming yet?:party-smiley-004:

i think im out. do to it looks like rain sunday and monday so i think im just going to do the beach and soak up the sun while its still here.

The 51 OL is still waiting on its props from Hering. Any Sutphen's have an open seat for a Outerlimits guy??:D:D

If I go your in for riding with me but its all up in the air right now
I want to be there but its been a sh it week

Just want to relax, gor 5 f ing min. Lol

Plus the clu guys are going to block too that will be a sh it show!

Dan I spoke With Ernie & you have space on his or mine.... HE said he will call ya to coordinate.

Also So far we have 7 Sutphens & 4 other boats known, that are coming.
11 total Known boats... Should be fun!

Maybe a few more that we do not know of...

Times look like We are planning to roll out around 10:30 /11:00

Why aren't you taking your boat Dan?

Changing Drive oil this weekend and prepping for Rock the Bay poker run the following weekend.

Thanks Brian. I talked to Ernie as well and will be joining the Boxer crew!

Its looking like Im not going to make this

2hr 45 min ride, 2 kids to drop off, and a 10:30 start sounds like a nightmare day to me
Lol

While Id love to see the whole sutphen crew together its probably just not going to happen

Would definately be fun running with you all maybe get the sutpgens down for the lumber run

1st anual CPBA Swap meet on the 15th at ocean performance in Old Saybrook

Following day ( for shaun thats the 16th) :picard1: we are going to all gtg on the river and make it the second anual LUMBER RUN

Oh Well.....

We are planning on the Lumber run & Claudios Before that one.

but that's ' Dan's Plan on the claudios... So when he figures that one out.....

Maybe Jimmy Will come by for that one again... Morgan & Rich Jr.


Hey Jeff You are usually nocturnal during the night just leave / start driving then.... & make it to Plymouth.

Definately at the LUMBER RUN!

I'm fukkin out! !!

Got shift cable bellow replaced ran it for a few in local scummy river and now I think something is clogged.

Fun day Great water... Good people as usual!


Not too bad for a first time event.... Next year we could get a point in Boston to make for a longer run.

Also ... If everyone buys a CD / gets the pictures from the helicopter... E mail me the best photo of your boat &
I can Blow them up for large prints & mount them to "Foam board"

I can Print 52" by any length so easily up to a 4'x8' would work or anything less on down..

Had a great time and the 51 Outerlimits ran flawless!! Great to see everyone!! Its always a good time with the usual crew! That was my first time boating up around that area and it was nice. The water was perfect, big swells on the way there and some nice chop on the way back. 90+ the whole time. That thing is a monster!! Time to plan the Claudios run!!

Glad you guys had fun!

My weekend SUCKED lol

Broke a hub on the trailer at a **** ramp in mystic, got sick as hell from cleaning solution or something, ran around like sm idiot looking gor a hub to get home etc etc

Could have all been worse though could have broke it on the rd up to see you guys on the Rd

Cant wait to see the pics!

i heard it was a blast. little lumpy tho.
cant wait to see chopper photos.

It was smooth at 100 the whole way!!

Makepeace take his boat?
MD

Yes I ran the boat with him

Sweet. Yet to see it. Have heard it's nasty. Wish I went.
