Delaware river - Sept 22

Had a good time while it lasted although that water was on the rough side. It was nice to meet some guys from the forum. To the ones I didn't get a chance to hang out with I'm sure we will meet up again.
 
Don't give me too much. I just clicked like a mofo and figured some good ones had to come of it.

The pics of Brian's enchanter do it no justice whatsoever. That red flake looks spectacular in the sun and the boat is just too damn clean.

Excellent pictures Ram. :thumb:
Reminds me I must buy a decent lens for my dslr so I can bring it instead of the Sony bridge camera I normally use on the water.
 
More Delaware Hoedown pics

This is the Curtins Wharf party of 4 (3 Starliners and a SeaDoo) leaving in the morning to meet the rest of the crew.
Ahhh, the smell of 2 stroke in the morning...

And the ill fated SeaDoo (I'll bet you're all wondering how come you didn't even know we had a non-Check in the pictures)

SeaDoo broke down and went home-we continue down to the group

Looks like you guys had a great time!:thumb: Lots of BOTM quality pictures taken, thanks for sharing! How does the Liners handle the rough water?
 
Just watching that makes my back hurt Spence.

Robbie - From looking at the video the Liner was smoother but if the camera was mounted like that on my boat I may change my opinion. Not having a pad makes them slower but smoother. I have no back problems but mine was a little sore after taking that pounding. However, it wasn't so bad that I couldn't carry on when we decided to turn around for the good of the group as a whole.

We be home! :banana:

YF how bad is the foot damaged on the boat?
Very slight bend on 2 blade tips. Looks like the prop shaft has a slight bend but won't know till I get it into service at the marina. No damage to the external part of the drive. I'm not that worried. When I hit it, I think I more so hit the vegetation and that wrapped around the prop causing a severe "out of round" shake in the boat. I really just kind of tapped over it but with the immediate vibration, I more so wanted to be safe and pull it out. :thumb:
