Re: Conn. River run
 

Might be a slim chance of 2 29 Progression's coming up from Greenport.... I will definatly be there. Going right now to put 100 octane in the Boat .....

Yeh Baby :evilb:

Re: Conn. River run
 

Whats With The 100 Octane. Are We Overdriving A Bit Or Is This The Norm. Jim And Myself Are Gasing Up At His Place Early Am And Trailering Around To The I95 Rpm. Well Thats The Plan.

Re: Conn. River run
 

I'm sure there will be a couple of 22' or 24' outboard Progressions by trailer.
How about the Activators? Outboards, I'm sure, But I/Os?

Re: Conn. River run
 

Claudios!!!! last trip for season..

Re: Conn. River run
 

Going up you should be fine but you, guys will hit a ton of traffic on 95 on the way back. That is why I said you guys should trailer out to Greenport( east end of LI) only about a 15 minute trip accross the sound. Why drive?

As for the gas I put some more boost in the boat so I wanted to be safe..

Re: Conn. River run
 

You coming Out to Greenport Sat.???

Re: Conn. River run
 

Trying To Hit The Century Mark Are We???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????

Re: Conn. River run
 

You can read between the lines I guess...... Not sure if it is going to happen though with the drive spacer as low as it is. Did not have time today though to pull it out. But it did turn a respectable number with 3 people in the boat and 100 gallons of fuel....

Re: Conn. River run
 

I gave my boat a bath yesterday. She is probably not up to Dave M's standards but at least the sand and mud are out and the scum line off...
The slow boat is ready to rumble... :D

For the guys coming across the sound, let's hope it lays down for you by morning, because it's going to kick up something fierce this afternoon and tonight... :eek:

Titan,
If you can do Greenport to Old Saybrook in 15 minutes, that would have to be some sort of a record. Even the triple digit 40 footers took a bit longer than that during the July Poker Run... :snide:
The best I have done crossing the Sound is just under 12min from the light house at Orient to the light house at the break water in Old Saybrook... :D

Anyway, eveyone please have a safe trip whether you're coming by land or by sea... :cool:
I'll be at the ramp under I-95 by 8:30... :drink:

Re: Conn. River run
 

Pat

You are correct. 15 minutes is hard to attain. I was being fecious. My point was meant to be taken that the trip from Nassau County by car to Old Saybrook will take a lot longer than trailering to Greenport and Coming accross by water..

, Hope it does lay down though. They are talking heavy winds tonite....

Re: Conn. River run
 

I know what your saying, I am sometimes a bit too literal... :rolleyes:
Zuperboat had the same thoughts as you last year.
I believe he and JCap are thinking they would rather an extra hour in a warm truck sipping a coffee vs. battling through 3-4 footers in 40s temps.
Have a safe trip, and we'll see you on our side around 9am. The warm sun and calm water of the river will help dry you out... :drink:

Re: Conn. River run
 

If you dangle an Italian hero on the Conn.Side,Titan will get there in 10 minutes. :evilb:

These guys crack me up... :D

Re: Conn. River run

Re: Conn. River run
 

Dont Be A Tuff Guy . Theirs Already One Activator At The Bottom In The Sound. The Water Will Take Some Time To Calm Down Even After The Wind Slows.

see you guys at 9..

Re: Conn. River run
 

Well guys it was a lot of fun today. I had one of the best times all summer today. The river had some really nice scenery. Too bad all you Superboaters from Long Island did not brave treacherous sound. Going up the Activator and Myself braved 3 to 4 ft seas. But on the way home man did it Kick Up. There was easily 8 footers going home with an Occasional 10 footer. Next time Maybe you guys will come out and play in the Big Boy Waters........... :D

Re: Conn. River run
 

Had a great time as well. It was great running with you guys up the river.
Titan and JC, you guys should have stuck around. I guess you didnt, knowing the sea build in the sound. We were out last weekend and the weather was the same. BIG seas in the sound. It was a great turn out and was a blast. These guys with the little boats are crazy!!!!! It was great to meet and see everyone. Here are the pics I took.

I had a lot of fun yesterday. Thanks for taking pics of my boat. We did have a good time running up he river with you as well. Now I just need my driver Joe to get a little more seat time in the boat. He was a little rusty but did a good job for getting thrown in there at the last minute........ :D

I am sure Joe or ExShipdude will chime in here eventually..

Re: Conn. River run
 

Good Morning Gary,
We did have a great time! :D
About 10 boats launched in Old Saybrook including (3) 30' Supers, (2) Panteras, a Hawk Marine, a Sutphin, and... :cool:
Titan and is Activator buddy met us at the ramp after crossing the Sound.
We had a rather auspicious start to our venture north, with a couple of fellows getting tossed from there 22' Activator after jumping a cruiser wake. There were quickly rescued by the group and we'll leave it at that for now.
Unfortunately, I had to bring my camera guy back to the dock shortly after we had started. Something about a 40 footer had sunk at Essex Island Marina... :rolleyes:
T-Mone hung back for me and we caught back up to the group in Haddam. It pays to know what buoys you can cut... :D
The Scream & Fly guys had begun to launch and we ran north to the beach in Portland for the gathering.
There were lots of photos taken for sure. Thanks Dan for getting yours posted... :cool:
I'll post a blow by blow of the second half a little later.

Re: Conn. River run
 

Pat too bad about having to drop Tommy off so soon. Joe kept asking me if I saw you guys after the incident. I figured something happened...

Re: Conn. River run
 

Pat Tripps And Myself Had A Great Time .im Sure Cappie Did Also. Sound Like We Made The Rite Choice To Drive Around Since We Both Brought Kids. We Made The Tripp In 2.45 With The Stop For Food. Dammmm Cappies Boat Runs Nice. Turned Way Down Still Going Over 85 And The Attitude Was Increadable.
