Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

SUPERBASH Needs To Know Where The Babylon Boys Are Affixing There "Boat Launch Permits" Onto There Prized & Polished Superboats? It's Bad Enough This Thing Costs $50 Bucks, But It's An Eyesore! Tripps? Jcap? Z.z? Comments-suggestions: Dave M. , Pat, Dutra S., Gassticks, Oh-zone, Fastedy, Jmk, KRAKMEUP, Super30, 30super ? Hebert Necessity(??)? Bueller? Anyone?

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

$50 is not that bad.
We pay $100-$250 for privet launches.
There are a number of State launches, but on the weekend you wait...and...wait...
Can you put it on your trailer?
If not, I would put it on the transom.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

NO to the trailer. It used to be 1/4 the size & went on tow vehicle. Now it has to be visible to the "RAMP ROBBER"(as per TRIPPS ) & the dockmaster at Gilgo or Cedar Beaches(You will never get dock space anyway).

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

I hope thats a 1 time fee.... How big is that thing? Glue it to a static sticker and take it off after you launch stick it in the cabin somewhere til next launch...my .0.02

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Well... I was in a big rush to go out, so here is where I stuck it(looks like chit). Next year I'm gonna do what DUTRASYSTEM said. One good thing is the ramp is right at the end of my block. Went out FireIsland Inlet into the ocean. No B.S., 8' rollers. I was like what the hell are we doing out here in this thing? Had fears of stuffing her. Was airborne half the time. Just too big . My passengers enjoyed it, but behind my shades, there was fear in my eyes. Pics weren't even on my mind! I'm working on some action shots. I"ll stick to bay chop and FireIsland ferry wakes. Post some pics, LETS FOCUS SUPERBOATERS!!!

Ramp robber :blaster: :blaster: :blaster: Were taxpayers!! we should get to use it for FREE Venetion shores sucks,but its close to me,its on the wrong side of the bay,loaded with seaweed and shallow so my low water pickups just clog up most of the time i go there!! So its either hi tide or copiague for me. the town is pretty slick to make it for the boat,not the car,i have 2 boats and i'm not gonna buy 2 passes :eek: :eek: ,so im gonna mount it on a piece of clear plixiglass and use 2 sided tape to move it around :D :D :D or go when they are home :D :D Gilgo is impossible to get in sometimes and cedar is also tough,so i will go other places,but after 3,its usually free time!! Tripps

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Sorry Superbash, I live down here in Maryland The ramps here are FREE !!! :)
Except for the ones on private property. So I can't help you on the ramp thing.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

i will not put that ugly thing on my boat, i am going to risk the ticket and just keep the sticker with my seatow card!!

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Tripps, JCAP, Z(excused),
How about a little Wedsday evening run 6pm Tanner Park(Scream & Fly'ers will be out) or just meet out there off the Park or Bergen Pt? It will be like old times. I'll have the camera poised & ready. How about it? Who has NEXTEL? PM me your codes.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

$50 for the season is not bad. Around me some ramps are free. The going rate on the private ones is about $5-10 per launch. Within 15 miles from my house there are about 10 different places to launch. Usually the wait is not bad. I have a slip at my most frequently used marina and unlimited ramp use is included with the slip. Usually on weekends I put the boat in fri. night and leave it in till sun afternoon. This way I don't have to deal with the ramp as often.

MD. does not discriminate if you are out of town or state. Just pay and launch. Sounds like real NAZIS up there.

I don't know why they don't put those stickers on the trailer and not the boat? The trailer is what is sitting in their lot. They can go around at their leisure and make sure all trailers have a sticker.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Nice looking ride Superbash!
We were out all day in the beautiful sunshine.
I forgot the camera though.

When I used the town ramp, the vehicle got the sticker. The rule there was that anyone could use the ramp, but needed a sticker to park.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

In a way I can see why private ramps are so expensive. We all know that water front property is expensive. If all your making on each customer is 5-10$, that is not a real good return on your investment. If you owned the land you would be better off building a restraunt or hotel on that property instead of a parking lot.

Babylon Boys Weds. Night Tanner Park
 

Yes DaveM. & Pat,
The problem is that the "Towns" own the ramps, and each town make there own rules, & this one with the sticker on the boat thing has had everyone "up in arms". Some towns, sticker only needed for parking. Babylon, needed for launching. What kills me now that they are so stupid.If you have no sticka(NY talk) get there early(no "security) launch, park and then later pull your boat out & the a-holes will even wave bye-bye to you? At least when it was on vehicle or trailer, they can check & ticket if you don't belong............................................ ....................................Anyway........ ....BABYLON BOYS WEDNESDAY 6pm'ish TANNER PARK. I must verify Tripps' 70gps. Is JCAP MIA? NEXTEL? PM ME CODES!

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Great Shot Superbash!
Hopefully JMK and I can get a better one of the Chester, CT Superboats.
The last we won't talk about...

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Great Pics guys... Trailer help...Left brake is locked/ceased ,do I have to pull the wheel? What causes that ? How to uncease? how to prevent?

Anybody have waypoints for Saybrook, Bell 8, Plum Gut, Caludios ?

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

Dutra,
Yes, you will need to pull the wheel and brake drum. Hopefully it's the brake and not the bearing. Either way, it's not that bad of a job...
Give me a shout at home between 8-10pm and I'll read the way points off a chart for you. (860) 767-0797

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

take the drum brakes when their off and put them in the trash.then install disk brakes.i installed them last year but my boat hasnt left the driveway since.

Re: Attn. Babylon Boyz!
 

ZZ is right, the disks are better.
You will need a means off cutting off hydraulic pressure when you want to back up though. I used a gate valve when I put disks on my Cig. trailer.
