Reunion
 

As a proud new owner of a 24', I would love to participate in a 2003 reunion. Where would this reunion take place? Is anyone from CT planning to attend this event? (CT River area) It would be fun to have a group from CT. go to the reunion together and all show up in force. Just a thought

Hi JMK,
I just bought a 1996 24' I/O. I will be keeping her in Chester on the river. I will definately be going to Superfest. We can travel together. Drop me a line.

Its getting bigger!!!!! :D :D :D tripps

WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN GOING TO A LIOPA MEETING ON MAY 1 IN ST.JAMES .WE COULD SEE WHAT THE CLUB IS ALL ABOUT AND MAYBE GET SOME IDEAS FOR THE SUPERFEST. HEY TRIPPS /GOT YOUR MESSAGE ABOUT THE 28 CHOPPERS BUT TO LATE TO CALL YOU BACK.YES THEY DO NEED A NEW HOME.

Tripps,
Thanks for the offer I might need to park the truck and trailer some where. As for parts, Well lets hope I won't need any. Just dropped off the starter today for a rebuild. So I should be getting it back in a few days. The weather is starting to get nice so it will be time to start polishing the boat up real soon. Well I'll talk to you soon . Can't wait for SUPERFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

JMK, Gas: Forget the trailer, come by water! I will provide convoy escort services from the Peconic Bay all the way to Superfest. Please send pictures.

Hey Gassticks
How is the boat doing ? If you come to Long Island give me a call.
Jack

Hey Jack,
Hows things going? The boat is good after a bad season last summer. I had to replace one lower unit last summer after hitting something. but its looking good for this year. How's your search going for a boat? Did you find anything yet? I really thinking about selling the boat after this season and moving up to a 30-33 ft boat . The little woman doesn't like all the bouncing around on rough days on the Chesapeke . But she does like boating. Now all I have to do is find another good deal , And a buyer for mine . But I'm not rushing into any thing yet. I want to go to the reunion this summer with the Boat . After that we shall see. I'll definetly give you a call when I tow the boat up for the Gathering. I can't wait it should be a blast. Well hope things are fine with you and your wife tell her I said Hi.
Talk to you in July

Chris (aka) gassticks

Peconic:
I will take some photos over the weekend and let you see my new boat. You may have already seen seen it since John was running it for some time. I intend to travel to the reunion by water, since the adventure of getting there is the best part. If you don't mind, we will probably take you up on the escort. Should we start a new thread titled 2003 reunion? Does everyone have to scroll through last years messages to get current ones or am I just doing it wrong?

Hay JMK and Pat I live in Danbury would be cool to gather at the launch ramp under 95 on the CT river. Not sure if Ill have to work at this point...

I'm amazed at the number of people who are appearing in Connecticut who own this type of boat

Chris
Things are ok business is slow I brought a new harley because i cant afford a 30 SB. Call me when you come to superfest so we can get together.
Jack

Superfest organizers: How about next Superfest organizational meeting at the OSO get together, Saturday April 5, 2003 at Steamboat Landing Resturant and Bar located on Long Island at 100 Shore Rd in Glen Cove NY ? http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...threadid=45507 Tripps is already going, I'll go also, therefore ...

I ordered a bunch of Superfest T-Shirts and hats. We could arrive dressed in style.

Let me know.

JMK: Escort duty will be provided. As for separate thread, that's not up to me.

That sounds like a plan,i like your thinking peconic,tripps

Hey Peconic,that site is looking real good,and if you did not make the shirts yet,one of my boating buddies has a t shirt biz,he is local also, call me or e mail me your # i lost it tripps

Saturday the 5th it is, Tripps.

Re: T's - I just ordered a small load for us. I'm not married to Cafepress. It's easy to set up and one doesn't have to carry inventory ... but for the event we need a better supplier.

JMK and OH-ZONE, I had planned to trailor to Superfest, but if there's going to be three of us, I would be in for the trek. It will be 80-90 miles though. Would we leave Friday Night?
JMK did you buy John's Red and White leftover 2001 with the 2002 6.2L? If so, you beat me to it. If I had sold my Pantera, I would have bought that boat.

CT Superfest participants: I'd leave Friday afternoon. Once you are through Shinnecock Canal (locking through will slow you down), there are two options: On the outside (ocean) or on the inside.

Outside is faster and easier, but it depends on the weather. Winds are usually highest in the afternoon/eve.

Going on the inside is slowed down by canals with speed limits and sometimes tricky navigation (sand banks.)

With the 21footers, I'd plan on going on the inside, especially in the evening.

Sunset on 7/25 is 8:13p

High tide on 7/25, Ponquogue Bridge, past Shinnecock Canal is at 6:13p, Babylon (Great South Bay) 8:14p.

That looks like a good window.

kismet inn
 

I have contacted the owner of the kismet Inn, and I am trying to rent the entire marina for superfest.He isnt crazy about the idea but I hope to convince him.This would enable us to have a meeting place and a place to return to after a run.We could have a dinner at the inn and make this fun for us and profitable for the inn.It will require everyone to chip in but hopefully we can keep it reasonable.I will keep all informed.Unfortunetly I wont be able to make the OSO get together, let me know how that goes.
Jim Capie

Hello to All,
I am vary much looking forward to Superfest. Sounds like it's getting bigger and better all the time.
I had previously mentioned a trip to Block Island that I am planning. The date is now set for Sunday and Monday, August 17th and 18th. The plan is to leave from the CT River Sunday morning for the run to BI. Spend the night at Champlin's marina then run back Monday with a stop at the Pavilion, a beach bar in Old Lyme CT. Everyone is invited to join !!!

Hey peconic, I'm sending you some pictures of my Boat and the Banner I'm bringing to the " Fest". hope this works . Let me know if you don't get them.

Room 4 more
 

Just so you superfest attendees,there is a state park with plenty of room for boat parking. Its located right between Kismet and democrat point in the Fire Island Inlet,so im quite sure we could ferry some superfest attendees in those "biggersuperboats" to the activities at kismet. :eureka: :eureka: :eureka: tripps

hey trpps and peconic
have you contacted the guy who owns the marina/restaurant on robbins rest you couldnt ask for a better location,they have hotel
room and great food maybe you could;d work something out with him its called tequila jacks

Jim C
