Hey 40, I didnt know you guys are the ones who bought the balamos old fountain.

They are good friends of ours.
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.

Morgan,

They get a real nice turn out. Its fun to run with all the S&F guys that can out run any of our big vees. The new 21 would fit right in. I heard the SSX is killer in person! Def try to get Jim to show up with the 31. Im going to try to come back from school and run Tsunami most likely. Its a great event and a great way to end the season. Hope to see you guys there so i can get a look at the new 21's since i have yet to see them in person.

Dan

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!:D:D

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"!!!

Hey! that's me in post #8
no rain date this year?? they must owe the gods a favor.
is the shotgun start due to the long lines at haddam, or the river gestapo?
i'll be at the OS ramp, USCG approved, sporting a 45 mph rev limiter and ready to cow-tow to the man..........
c

"we can't drive 45"!!!!!

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.

cant wait i will be there with the bat boat it is a fun event

bats..
where are you out of? meeting at OS at 10 with us?
glad8..
did you get to b-port the other weekend? coming to OS on the 19th?
jeff..
where's the ramp in portland?
dan..
tsunami? or the cig?
c

min tsunami....
max tsunami/cigarette...

Long story regarding the Glen Cove run C. I entered but blew an impeller in the harbor over near glen Cove. I got a part and had it fixed 20 minutes after the others left for Bridgeport. I tried to play catch up, but by the time I pulled into Bport harbor, I was too late. I saw you and that outboard Sutphen coming out of the harbor. You must have seen me ...I was right next to you for a hot minute. I found out later most of the smaller boats didnt run over to Bport. I think I was the smallest boat that made the run over there(maybe 1 27 Activator made it there). All in all, only half the boats went to Bport I heard.

I plan on being at the river run in my Dad's 24 Progression. it is black and blue and named "BARFLY"...can't miss it. My boat is going in storage after the Lake George run next w/end.

Oh, BTW, "batboat" is one of the guys that fixed my impeller. He knows his way around an engine room! 509 CI whipple power in that bad boy!

Fisrt time for me, I'll be there cant wait to see this:evilb:

glad8..
I KNEW that was you!!..boat looked great, sounded awesome...seemed to run real nice in that slop! where's your dad's boat kept?
pros...
how will you get there?...i'm just over the hill in northford, maybe we could caravan? 203 687 6688
dan/ken..
i'd lay odds on the gladiator on the river, but the sut in real h2o..a father and son challenge?
c

Gladeater, we thought that was you in bridgeport.
C and I (out board sutphen) almost ran over there but figured youd make it over our way( if it was you) since you knew the sutphens.

would have been cool to run three in a row for a while in that water.

We had a good day.

Only saw 9 boats or so in the bridgport area and you werent very far behind th pack maybe 10 minutes max.

C portland marinas launch i just off rt66 in the middletown area near americas cup.
Nice launch

For those going to haddam meadows be careful of the ramp it gets realy washed out and your trailer will drop off the end of the concrete and when you go to load you'll be S.O.L.

You'll load croocked or possibly not be able to load at all with a bigger (25 and up)boat.
I may load down OS if alot of offshore guys are loading there.
It would be a cool run up river.
Too bad we dont have someone to video from the bridge.

I would have stopped to chat, but I was trying to find the other boats to run with! There were about 23 boats entered in the run...I guess only the hardcore went to Bport! I think I was out of the water 1/3 of the time, as there were some nice rollers the whole way over.

My Dad keeps the Progression on its trailer in his driveway in Norwalk. I usually launch out of Stratford.

Here is a pic of it. Hopefully I will see you guys at the CT run(I have to get out of a prior commitment).

What a beautiful sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C and I were catching some air as well.
We had a good fun run over to bridgeport.
I think thats the most fun I have had in this boat yet.

we were cookin pretty good in those rollers and they were spaced out perfectly for jumpin.

The river run should be fun but cold BRRRRRR.

I usually head up Rt 68 to durham, Randolf Road to Rt 9 and get off exit 7, go over the bridge and right by the goodspeed, take a left just past Goodspeed and launch at the Salmon River launch.
What ramp do you usually use? i might just try a different ramp if you use a different one, I know haddam meadows sux for a boat my size so I dont use it.

hey pros...
i'll be going down 22 to rt 1, quick stop in branford to drop off my kids...then i95 to saybrook..never thought of the 68 to 9 thing, i'm about 10 min from 68.

It sounds like there all meeting up in rocky hill. I know you guys were thinking of launching in OS and that would be a cool run ,but its gonna burn some fuel running all that way andmessing around and then running all the way back down.
Is there still fuel docks open in mid oct?

how many guys are actually launching in OS?

We will be launching in Saybrook. Gas docks should be open still on the river.

Hey Jeff

I'm planing to come. Ill see you there. How far of a run is it from Old Seybrook to the farthest point we are going up river, as I have about a 130 mile range on a tank of gas.

Thanks Jim

GREAT NEWS..YOU WILL MAKE IT!!! JUST KEEP IT LESS THAN 100!!!!

Hi Dan
You probably know the answer to that question. How far are we going.
Jim

about 35 miles.....one way...

Thanks Dan. What time are you gona be at the ramp.

add another sutphen to the list. my 26' rum runner sewfast sutphen. went to haddam meadows on 10-05-08. launched at 1:00 o'clock went straight to essex did a u-turn went directly to harbor park had launch went to hartford u-turned back at ramp at 5:30 . high tide was 5:02 taking boat out of course wasn't a problem but putting it in was't either... tides for haddam on 10-19-08 high 1:17p.m. low is 8:22p.m. i don't see any problems for me at haddam meadows. look forward to seeing all the other sutphens. any body wants to call me 203-468-7262 we have 6 boats leaving that morning of the ct. river run from east haven thanks brett.. 0ne more thing sewfast set a personable best the other day 75.6 M.P.H. not to bad for 450 h.p. & almost 2mi. to the gal.

Damn maybe I need to put some more timin g back in the tune. I have the engines set on economy right now at 21 degrees.LOL

Can you say slow!!!

I would be lucky to crack 70 right now.

I cant wait to see all the sutphens together we deffinately need a sutphen group pic at some point.

Man do I love those tripple 300's that is such a sick ride.

I would be happy with twin 300's on my rum runner.

The more I am around these outboards the more I appreciate them.
You dont even have to run anti freeze through them just tilt them back and go.

brett..
glad you're going...going 95 to rt 9?
