Thought it would be better option to paste up all these pictures in the Pictures section rather than they be buried in the Liberty Mates section.
Enjoy. I know I did!


After Sim, atc250r and I arrive to the ramp within minutes of each other, we were ready to go within 20mins.
Leaving Burlington, NJ.

At this stage, atc250r, Ramifications and I went past the marina to some flat water to do a few posing runs. Hoping Ram has more photos from that session

SIM, How many pics are you editing?
What you get a couple hundred, lol

I have the same as already up so no pics from me. Not a pic taking day from the Jetmate.

Pictures do that red flake no good, that red flake is amazing in the sun.

I've probably got a hundred but there's only about maybe 5 good ones. It wasn't a good picture day. Waters were extremely bangy (understatement- I think Philly was 2-2.5 footers with the occasional rogue ( Other opinions?) and I don't even remember a time in the last 5 years I was so tired from a day of boating.
Is it just me?
I don't even have the energy to deal with pictures right now.
So glad we made it out with the crew today! I think we lost 3 boats out of 9. Sea-doo: engine trouble....Dave and Brian: back and drive train: What happened to demag? He had the greatest length (which was the most important factor today) but never saw him after we hung a ralphie ( really a louie after going past) to Rams home turf and calmer waters. Was he running ahead cause he could and we lost sight and split up?

Not just you, I got a work out today with the small craft advisory in that ocean.
Gonna be stiff and no loving tommorow. Not used to sitting down and banging the boys. lol

Still always a good time thou to get out and run.
 
Can I nominate this for Syncronized Boating Picture of the month?
Thumbs aren't perfect but they drove 3 .5 hours to be at the event.
New engine ran great and the registration lettering is perfectly spaced.
Note that the contestants are both smiling.
