JC's engines have a tendency to blow up Bravo's.. Just put my second gear set in the lower last week.

Hey guys ,
I m going to do the Conn run but will be leaving from the North shore so I wont be with Superbash's convoy. I am leaving from the north shore , my business is on jericho tpk about 1/2 mile west of 135. I plan on leaving at 6 am If anybody wants to follow. The coffee will be on me and I have 93 octane if anybody wants to fuel up. I hope to meet with Patrick at the same ramp as last time, Old Saybrook right Pat? Pat, directions again and what time are you going to be there? and yes thats the best part of the river! Mike if your going to 135 anyway call me and we will hook up
Jim

Yes it does. Imco needs to step up and make some stronger gears. I put a hand throttle in my boat this week. Hopefully I will be able to control all the torque better with it instead of the foot throttle. Time will tell.....

Hi Jim,
It's Great to hear you are making the trip up!
Yes, absolutely I'll meet you at the ramp in Old Saybrook. I have to drag my boat home for a bath and oil change so I may just put in there as well.
Anyway, I think we want to be in the water by 9am to get to Haddam with a few minutes to spare.

Directions to the boat launch under the I-95 bridge in Old Saybrook are:
I-95 north to exit 67 (old Saybrook, CT)
Bare right as you come off the ramp, there is a fork.
At the end of the ramp go right.
Then get into the left lane as you approach the traffic light.
Left at the lights onto route 1 north.
Follow route 1 past Ocean Performance (Big Go Fast Boat Dealer).
Then take a right onto Ferry road. If you don't turn right, you will end up back on I-95.
Follow Ferry road around past the marinas, then under the I-95 bridge.
The boat launch will be on your right.

I would recommend to Zuperboat and any of the other larger boats coming, to use this ramp. It is about as nice as I've seen anywhere.

PE and Titan,
If you hit the water in Greenport around 8am, you'll be at the I-95 bridge before 9am for sure...
