If he was smart he'd have left her at the curb while he sped away.

Well thanks to my wife responding yes to us attending my friend's son's birthday party and thanks to him doing the party on Labor Day weekend each and every year I wont be attending on Sunday.

You know John........birthday parties come and go .....as do wives. But a day on the water with the guys = priceless.

Promise me you won't quote me to either of our wives.

Looks like I'm going to sit this one out. We're doing the Sand Island Bash the weekend after up in Sacandaga and the GWL Boat Races following the Sacandaga deal. Maybe we'll get a fall Delaware River ride in October. If it ends up I can make it with my daughter and catch a ride with Sim I will let you know.

Back from our month long trip to Europe. Had a fantastic trip, and managed to get out on the water in a friends Maxum (beggars can't be choosers!!!) to play with the Tall Ships festival in Dublin last weekend.
That's us bottom left in the photo of the Mexican ship, then alongside in the other photo.

Just got the replacement screw for the carb fitted. I'm ready for the weekend.

For Sunday, I'm planning to be launching early - before 10. It will be just me, so will be playing on the river until everyone arrives (unless you're already there).
I'll be around till early afternoon (2-ish?).
Looking forward to it!

You can join me!
Be at my place Sunday morning (times can be organised closer the time) and you have a lift to and from Trenton. I don't mind leaving later (9am) if you are coming along.

Nice pics Kris, glad you had a good trip

I might join you early the on river, and have my wife and son join up a little later. Give me a call or text later this week with your plan. The river is great in the morning. It seems like no one hits the water until after 11 or so We could also take a cruise up the creek I launch from and get some speed runs, pics and gopro vids

Thanks Kris. Fortunately Jess is back to work. Unfortunately its just waitressing and not using her degree and she's got to work Sunday which leaves me to take my son to a birthday party for the son of my long time friend. On the bright side she works at a restaurant on the lake and the owner is a Checkmate owner and fan who apparently lurks here. He bought his new in the mid 80's and still has it. I'll get some pics of it.

Oh, and the races on GWL two weeks later have been cancelled.

how far up the creek is your ramp anywhere near rt 543. i hope to get an early start . most likely head out from hargroves. the weather so far is looking ok maybe a chance of a shower or storm at this point. not a big fan of getting drenched , was out last thursday in the delaware bay it was so calm like glass ,scary calm , then the dark clouds rolled in and the heavy rains came that part kinda sucked , but the sun came out an hour later. hope to see you guys sunday

The marina I launch from is about 300 yards from river rd/bridge st/ rt 543. It is called hawk island marina.

If you look at this pic, that is the bridge in the top right corner.

John - shame you can't make it, but I understand.
Also - that's a b1tch about the races - any reason why?

Spencer - I'm interested in meeting up early with the cameras. I'm just waiting to see if a friend (buyer of my Enticer) is going to join me (either with his boat or in mine).

What is it to your creek from Trenton - 30mins? I recall the no-wake zones are a killer for progress on the first few miles heading south.

Trying to get to the bottom of why they cancelled. All the more reason to be excited about Sacandaga.

You should talk him into making the trip with your old boat! The rancocas is about 35-40mins south of trenton. If you launch from the same place as Sim, you will have about a mile of no wake zones before being able to open it up. Once you clear the no wake, there isn't another one for the rest of the river. When I run north, I turn around at the first no wake zone

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday

He joined us on Memorial weekend to Philly, and said afterwards that he'd love to take the Enticer down that route one day.....well this should be it!

Give me a call when you have a plan or when you hit the water. I will be out from 9:30-???? at least 3
I assume you still have my number (if not, send me a PM)

 

[demag67]

Sounds good, I would like to try that prop out. That reminds me, Kris, make sure sure you bring my prop that John gave you.

 

[knarloid]

Don't worry Ram - it'll be there.
Same goes for Sims prop.

We can never have too many props on stand by... when you're around

Remind me to tell you a funny story about last weekend in Dublin when a friend asked me to move his Maxum around from the ramp to a marina space.....
