No sh%t! Small world. I don't get back to CT much, but there's no doubt in my mind...the CT River rules, and kicks butt over all the Havasu / Colorado river stuff out here.

I got hooked on Sutphens staring at a guys boat in Bloomfield when I was a kid...I think their last name was Jarvis? Maybe the kids name was Clayton. They had a wicked Nascar all stripped down and street legal. Like 600hp in a sleeper. My kind of people!

BTW- I used to work at Mitchell Saab, just down the street from your house.

I know the boat I think it was mext to the milk business up there just over the mountain. I heard that boat burned to the ground when the buildong went up.


I have a 875 HP 69 firebird. I street drive it around simsbury sometimes.

Thats why I only habe a 20 sutphen. The drag car sucks up money like a sponge.

So cal is great though. I used to go out to glamis all the time.
And my buddy owns recreation unlimited it used to be on Kuttela AVE. He rents ATVs, Dirt bikes etc.

I think its closer to huntington now if I remember correctly.
I always had a great time out there.

how's this for weird...i used to live off of Balboa av, about two blocks from the water...worked in solana beach for the Chart House..

my boat's like dave's..small blocks and i/o's...but i haven't been to the ct river since october
oh yeah, and i used to own a 70 firebird...

Thats weird stuff for sure!

I guess all great minds think a like.

I'd like to see your boat one of these days.

I couldn't seem to PM you on here.

I have been wanting to get down to the thimble islands one of these days too.

I think thats near you isn't it?

yep, the thimbles are just around the corner from the state ramp in branford..it's a fun place, not spectacular, but cool...and the river that the ramp's on has 2 decent restaurants on it...if you're down this way, drop a line...

I have wanted to take my wife and kid out there I haven't been there since I was a little kid.
We took my fathers old 73 nova out there.
I remember them having a floating restaraunt or something out there.
It was like pontoon boat I think.
