Where is glen cove?

Is there agood spot to put in?

I might be up for trailering down that way for a good event.

Dave911:

Our 21SSX will have a seperate throttle and shifter box. Although if someone wants one in any model that wouldn't be a problem. That's why we are a custom boat distributor and Rich is a custom boat builder. We aim to please the customer.

jeff...
looks like a few of us are probably rafting in bridgeport to watch the sights for the glen cove run...any ramp near new haven will do the trick....
glen cove is in western LI...north side..means throggs neck to get there unless you take the ferry:(

Guys:

You can put in at Milford's ramp or the Housatonic ramp.

Ron

thanks ron..
where's the housy ramp?
jeff, if you want to meet in branford, maybe we'll get to run together ONCE this season...
c

The public Housy ramp is in Devon(Stratford/Milford line). There are no docks and the current can be a hassle depending on the tides, so be careful!

Well I was gonna meet you in Branford but Gladhe8er made the housy ramp sound so good I am going there.LOL

Just kidding that ramp sounds awful!

I would like to meet up in branford that sounds like it would would be a good run. how long of a run is it from there?

Are there docks etc at the branford ramp?

I am hitting the river today in portland if anyone is out.
Weather permitting.

Just got back from Lake champlain. The guys there were very cool and seem to like sutphens alot.

Check out the champlain 08 thread.
I have pics of our old 30 my 20 and my 26 at lake champlain over there.

I should have you move the 30 pic over here C, since so many people have asked about the boat that got totalled in the past.

I use the Stratford town ramp on the Housy closer to the Sound. The current is so bad sometimes that it swamps the channel buoys. The ramp I use is nice and it has docks, but coming into the ramp can get hairy. You have to jam the boat in there at a good clip and then throw it in reverse. It makes you an expert at docking in a hurry.

Sounds like there should be at least 4-5 boats watching the poker runners come into Bport. Maybe we make a little run together afterwards? There is still a chance that I may actually do the run...

branford has a mild current. it's on a tidal river. one guy can easily launch his or her boat solo, even if the ramp is busy..they seem to yield to performance boats, like surfers in a line up...'course there's always that "one" . been using the ramp for 32 years....dockage is limited, ramp is old, but late september should serve us fine...
the run to BPT is only about 30 min @ 40ish...

30 minutes damn I could be at claudios drinkin by then.LOL

So when is the actual glenn cove run?
I searched it and found more dates to this thing than you could imagine.

I never know what the hell I am doing until the day before anyway but it would be nice to know.

Maybe my brother will break out the fountain and make the run down too.
