Heresjohnny, I'm leaving from the island around 7:30-8:00 if you want to follow me up. I drove up last week to scope it out. Pretty easy drive but I only saw one ramp at the marina . I was thinking about using another ramp close by.

Hey Billy, I am actually leaving earlier in the morning. Figuring high tide is at 4am and so many boats going it is better to get there earlier. What ramp are you planning on using ? I have never been to any of them and feel more comfortable going where everyone else is unless you know a better option ? If you want to leave earlier your welcome to travel with us too. By the way I think we have a mutual friend, Donnie Topgun.....

Hey Johnny ,
Yes I've been friends with Donnie a long time. If fact the heads on my motors are his.
The marina in stony point is 65 miles from my house took me about an hour by car no trailer . It's just over the tapanzee bridge then north for 10-15 min. I'm going to look for another ramp this week but if I don't find one very close by then ill use the one at marina. I spoke with a worker at marina who said ramp is no problem even at low tide for 40' boats.
Problem I see it that there is only one ramp. So if 40 boats are trying to use it at once could be slow going.
Hey Wayne I have a 35 sonic with 725's

Started working on the boat today. We haven't used it since the weekend before Memorial Day. I should be ready in time for the run.

This group seems to be growing every minute. As of right now we have about 42 boats and 107 people attending. Im really glad to see this many people and I hope everyone understands that this is "FREE" to attend. My wife, friends, and I have donated hundreds of hours to plan and put his event together for everyone to enjoy a day out on the water and have a great time. We take "NO" money out of this event and every dime you pay either gets paid right to the marina for launch fee, helicopter chagres 550.00 per hour of flight time, or directly to the resturant for lunch. There is no mark up of these charges so what you pay is what we are being charged. My family and I even pay for all the above and we ask for nothing in return except for everyone to play the 50/50 or a poker hand so the money raised can be donated right to Make-A-Wish.
