Small world I just found that out a couple of weeks ago.
How was that boat, they always seemed to take real good care fo that boat.
It was a real nice boat. The boat was well taken care of but the motors were questionable. We lost both of them so we had brand new motors in it before we traded it in on our Hustler. It got looks where ever we went with it. The boat is pretty much destroyed stiiting up here in RI. Its a real shame that it ended up the way it is now. The old Fountains were hard to beat......well if there were no big Sutphens around!

There were a ton of boats last year. LOOOONG lines at the ramps. Over 80 boats I'm guessing.

I think we all start with small boats..then we buy larger boats...always wishing for a small boat again!!!

That's why I like the run..looking at all the smaller "hot rods"!!!

The haddam meadows ramp sucks for big boats and everyone knows it. all the bass boat a holes wash out the ramp loading with thier engines at 5K rpm.

I will be loading at portland most likely.

My boats up here in simsbury, although it would be good run to meet up with you boys in OS

Not sure if my brothers going.Hes down in OS still.

40 ICBM,
The fountain is sitting and messed up?

That sucks. sorry to hear about the engines

They are pretty honest guys I dont think they would have sold it with engine issues intentionally.

Who owns it now?

this may be relevant for the ct river run.

nyone know anything about the new lifejacket law for the state of CT?

I saw a quick story on TV last night about it.
Sounded to me like it was october to may only and made anyone in a boat underway wear a lifejacket.
