Ct River Run
 

Hey guys, I am planning on coming down this sunday, never been in the river before, what time and where
are you guys meeting.

Thanks,
Mike

Meeting around 10, taking off around 10:30 I believe from the ramp in Old Saybrook(right under I-95 bridge). I'm sure somebody else will be able to post directions.

Mike where are you coming from?

The river run is a blast !!

You'll be happy you made it. If you look up oak leaf marina it will give you an adress right next to the boat launch. Its also right UNDER the baldwin bridge.

we should all do some tailgating before the run.LOL

Coming from Pawcatuck, Ct. About 40mins away. I am bringing
our 1981 20' Super Pacer. I hope the weather is good and not
too cold. What time are all the Sutphen guys meeting, would love to run with you guys even if I am the little guy.

Mike

I loved my 20 sutphen it was a blast!

I will be there at 10 Am

thats what I have to tell myself to be there at 10:30 LOL

I will be there with the boat or with out. Having some bearing issues on trailer, hope to get it fixed this week. If I don't get it fixed I will be there to see everyone off.

It was great seeing all the Sutphens yesterday on the Ct River. The river looked like a log flow at times and since it was my first on the river, I bailed early not wanting a lower unit or prop damage. Nice meeting everyone…..

It was great to meet you and your 26 lookes and ran fantastic!! Love those 2.4's hanging off the back. You'll have to come up again when we get our Sutphen runs going next year!!

Dan

Great to see you made with that nice 20!! It seemed like it was running great up the river!! Are you going to come back down for the official river run next weekend??

I agree with the log flow, I bumped something on the way up the river luckily no damage. I agree it was awesome to see all
the sutphens. I wish I could have stayed with you all at Harbor Park. Not sure about the rest of you guys but I hit some sloppy
rough stuff on the way back, well rough for me in the little 20'. I definitly see a 26' rum runner in the future. All of the rumrunners there were in awesome condition I must say. I also need to apologize for the condition on my 20' I never got a chance to clean it. Did anybody get a running shots of all of us
heading up the river.

Can't wait for next season.

Mike

Awesome vid! Thanks for taking it when we went bye. By the way you did a amazing job bringing your rumrunner to its current condition. Would love to go for a ride, never been on a
rum runner.

Yes, when you have a Sutphen reunion, count me in. Got go outside and replace the speedo tube and repaint the lowers!

Hey Mike & Smoken2 good meetin you guys yesterday. Too bad we didn't get a chance to run much or hang out. I think the wood had us all quit a little early. Boat looked good in that video Mike.

Fountain40, Unfortunatly I will not make it down next weekend,
have other plans with the family. Thanks for the compliment on our little 20'. It was running very well up the river. Tsunami
looks and sounds amazing! I have never ridden in any sutphen bigger than 20'. I have been in 2 20's and a crazy 17' jet drive. That thing looks like it rides beautiful.

Mike
