Absolutely! Let me know when - I could head south and you could head north and meet in the middle somewhere. If you head up to Delran again, let me know... that's my backyard.

No worries - hope the shirts fit OK:thumb:

All the videos dont do justice for that boat.
When your sitting in it 3ft from the motor and that thing is screaming thats all you got and starts whistling. Thats when you get the feeling your about to fly. and then you do and the landing is hard on the azz lol. Bad azz boat for sure, alot of fun.
Thanks for the ride.
 
You are more than welcome, anytime. I still need to catch a ride in yours. I know I still owe Sim and a few others a ride, but there is always next year.
 
Yeah I promised a few rides that didn't happen.
Being all rafted up I couldn't just come and go with out a bunch of work.
I'm feeling another run down there before the summers over. I had a good time.

i felt the same way , i would have really enjoyed taking the gang for a spin out in the bay. but its alot to pull anchor and load and unload. the current was moving pretty good where we were at , in addition to boat wakes. going out on my bow to hook and unhook the anchor is not much fun . we need to find a host house with a very long dock..

That would have been great, but logistically a nightmare. Between avoiding the "jumpers" (people jumping over holding their anchors to make sure they hit the bottom) boat wake, currents, navigating through the crowds and leaving the big boat with everyone’s stuff on it, it would have been a challenge.

Anyone have a house or a location we could make it happen?
