Sounds like a great idea ... When you gonna launch I may try to get a few others to do the same !

JetJock 10-21-2008 10:04 AM

I am gonna drive East on 42, then north on 19, go through Glenn Cove Springs, head north on 17, just before the bridge there is a ramp on the left side at the mouth of a river--I think they call it Black River? I am told it would be a ten minute run up to the Naval Air Station.


The link to the thread discusses different launching points

We shoud all meet up!

STOP...you'll make me blush. Like your boat too. Seen it on the other site. Can always tell the new owners by the bugs in their teeth. :D

JetJock 10-21-2008 10:36 AM

No sign of your ego here in London, one of my coworkers got himself in a little of hot water....not sure if it made news in the USA or not- lets just say everybody's ego got slimmed up a bit.


heading home tomorrow.

Look for the ramp on the right hand side of the road ...its called "Knights Boat Ramp" its right on Black Creek. Plenty of water and a real nice ramp. Wide open water all the way to NAS. There is also bathrooms and a store on the site. Weather is suppose to be crappy on saturday (60% rain ) but nice on Sunday.

This is my 4th boat in 14 months. I just couldnt find the one I really liked untill I seen this one. I had a new 2355 Ciera Sunbridge in 95...kept it for 8years before I was tired of it. My wife was going nuts with me selling and buying boats but she told me Id better not leave us without a boat. ( Gotta love her) So this ones the keeper....the boat and her.:drink:

Couldnt find an address but its real easy to find. Go up 17 out of Green Cove Springs and before you come to Black Creek Bridge its a large boat ramp ( Big sign) on your right. They were widening the road but its not bad constuction.

JetJock 10-26-2008 07:30 AM

Nothing says we can't have a Scarab get together on Lake Harris and go do the Chain of lakes, up into lake Eutis for Lunch?

papawayne@comcas 10-26-2008 09:14 AM

We had about 10 boats "rafted" up and one or two anchors out, which only were dragging the bottom so the group started to drift.....thus we spread out a little and I dropped my own anchor.

I would say there were 200+ boats around, it was UNREAL running WIDE OPEN back to the Marina passing the numerous boats and jumping wakes! It was an awesome day!

They always have a big turnout of boats for that event. I bet that was a blast heading back to Knights!!

rescue 08-26-2012 10:30 AM

well, just thought I'd fire up this old thread. I bought this beautiful boat off wayne back in the fall of 2009. Loving it. Sadly, I've only put maybe 25 hours on it since then, since I've spent most of the time overseas, but when it is driven, its a blast.

502SCS 08-28-2012 09:15 AM

It is coming up on nice weather for getting that SCS in the water without blistering heat.
I sure do wish I still had my SCS ... Miss that boat !
Enjoy !!
