    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    live in the area sim, I live in Mystic Islands which is right across the bay from where Chesnut Neck is. My parents are on the water and I drop in next door, the neighbor has a ramp that we use all season. Not really many places to stay around here. Only hotel is in Manahawkin in Hobie's...

    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    Agreed Pablo, I agree less big boats the better, they wouldn't come out with us anyhow honestly. If we get Ed and Scott possibly that will be a good group. 40-50 is usually a nice cruise depending on how the bay is. I stay tight to the marsh heading out you get beat up alot less. We can open...

    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    29 GALLONS I only have a 29 gallon pushing my 250xs and it doesn't suck down much. I could probably run all day if I wanted but will probably top off at Chesnut Neck on the way back as well. That is an optimax of course but nevertheless I think you guys will be ok. There is gas across from...

    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    Seamate You can get Super (92) right at chesnut neck. I personally would top off on land and drop in. My buddy has the twin to your boat and can make it to AC and back no prob. We could stop back at chesnut neck to fill back up is on the way back to the Mullica. I don't think you will have any...

    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    Sounds Good Pablo, That sounds good. Once we get closer I will have to look at the tides. Going to AC and running the intercoastal at low tide can be real tricky. So we can just plan accordingly. I have done it tons of times and know I can but having people unfamiliar with the area I wouldn't...

    Mullica River to Atlantic city trip

    A bit Early Pablo, I am more than likely in. I am in AC or up the river just about every weekend come summertime. Still a bit chilly in May though. That river takes a while to warm up. I think if you are going to do it you should do a poker run honestly. Ed always does his at the end of the...

    Questions regarding Setup on 21' Starflite

    update Well first off was able to hit 70's after messing with a few things. With as much jack as I need to get the motor I would be a bit weary not to run a cone. I have no other option right now anyways cause I am not buying another LU. I will never be able to spin a 26 at 6300 as the limiter...

    Checks Gone Wild pic OVERLOAD

    sinking JW, Who needs freeboard, lol It tends to sit a bit lower these days with the 505lbs of motor hanging 10" off. Got most of the bugs worked out. Still think I need more setback and haven't tried a 3 blade ET or chopper style prop for top end/more bow lift. There is still more there. I...

    Questions regarding Setup on 21' Starflite

    Update OK Campers here's an update. Tried out a buddies 25p Trophy Plus. Ran just about of 70mph again at 5800 and change. I can get the rpm's up a bit more but that is only if I jack the motor up too high. I have the chine walking under control. I am going to see if someone has a 26p Trophy...

    Questions regarding Setup on 21' Starflite

    Aaron, I removed the bow foam as you said. Some of the foam on the botom was wet. I would say in all it was about 40lbs. I didn't really see a difference when I did it. JRumon had the same 10" cmc with a 300x and was hitting 87mph. I am not even hitting 70. Something just doesn't seem right...
