First time out
Well after 10 months of MAJOR repairs and delays I finally got out in the sound this week end. I'm no longer a virgin.....I now know what every one talks about when they say how well the Sonic handles the rough water. I was running 52 with 4 adults on board in 3-5 foot seas, I still had 2000 rpm left and I could have pulled the drives out more. (I know, it's not that fast but it was my first time playing out there). The ride was sooooo sweet I'm still thinking about it, and can't wait till next weekend!
When I got back to the dock a guy comes up to look at the boat and he told me how rough it was today, and how they all got wet coming over from Greenport, LI, I just had to smile..... 1987 30 SS with twin Merc Hi Perf. 320 efi small blocks/Alpha ss drives |
Sonic30ss...what part of CT do you run out of? I boat out of the Norwalk area (at least I used to, sold the boat a couple of weeks ago)
|
I'm on the CT river in Haddam.
Did you sell your boat to someone around the river? I saw a Sonic that I'de never seen before Sunday. |
No...I had a 2001 28' Nordic that I sold to somebody in VA.
|
I was up the river on Sat. Too many no wake zones for me though, but it is a beautiful place to ride. These 30' Sonics really handle the water great. I keep the trim around 2.5 to 3 on the indicators when it is rough. Normall cruising I keep it around 4.5. WOT I'll go up to 7!!! I'll be out again this weekend. Do you feel up to a trip to Greenport?
|
Pure- that must have been you I saw on Sunday, I was the Yellow/Black boat
Greenport ........how about Saturday? |
Sat. sounds good. There is a run around Shelter Island.
I was not out on last Sun., only Sat. |
Where/what time do you meet up?
|
