[Hyperlight136]

I can't yet, because the boat is on a rack at the marina where I work and with all the snow around it I don't think it's going to be hard getting any good pics. But once I get it back in the lake I'll get some pics up.

[Jay R.]

hey H2O Nut, what is that you have as your Avtar? can you post a big pic?

[Hyperlight136]

I got a 16' Sutphen with a merc 115 inline 6. I got a Merc 150 inline 6 but I am not going to put that on till I sell the 115. I have to finish rebuilding the gearcase for my 115 before I put it up for sale. I do my boating on Lake Hopatcong. Were do you do your boating???

I also do most of my boating on lake Hopatcong I have a blue hydrostream vector with a merc 175 painted all black. where do you launch at the lake?

[Jay R.]

I have a gearcase for a 150 merc 1500 inline, i don't know if there interchangable. just thought i'd offer it if it's needed.

I live right on the lake. It's a bright red Sutphen with a 78 Merc inline on it. I think I've seen your hydrostream on the lake. This summer if I see you I will try to catch up to you. No thanks for the gearcase I got two already and tons of parts. I think

im up here in upstate NY orange county (middletown ) i would like to know whats happening up this way or jersey PA area im down for a gathering

[Pags]

im running a 87 17'monark open bow ski boat nissan 70HP outboard

[Sutphen115]

Are any gatherings coming up soon in the area

[american xtreme marine]

I'd love to attend a gathering, but I haven't heard of any in NJ. Is there a speed limit on Hopatcong on Weekends?...Weekdays?

[81hydrostream]

there is no speed limit of lake Hopatcong during the week but on weekends its 35 mph.

[american xtreme marine]

Hmmm. That speed limit kinda kills the fun, at least for a weekend gathering of hotboaters.

[81hydrostream]

trust me that lake is full of idiots on weekends i wil not oat there on a weekend or during the week. a lot more fun. cops on the lake seem cool i have driven by them doing 80 mph in my v-king (which is now for sale) and they leave you alone as long as you are not causing a dangerous situation.

[Sutphen115]

The lake is deffinetly full of idiots. Someone told me that it is the most populated lake in the US. It has the most registered boats to it. I just don't understand how it could have more boat registered to it then any of the great lakes. And every year the boats seem to get bigger and bigger. I know of a couple of 35' boats on the lake. Why would someone have a 35' boat on the lake. It's not as fun as a 16' outboard on the lake. My bosses 22' seabold is fun but a 35' boat can't be any fun on the lake. Lake Hopatcong needs a boat size restriction of maybe 24'. That would get rid of a lot of people plus there won't be 3' waves anymore. But thats only my oppinion.

[Sutphen115]

There should be a gathering on the lake after labor day. Cuase then I believe the restrictions are lifted.

[american xtreme marine]

I'd say let's meet in August sometime at the Jersey shore. Maybe others would join us. Our last boat was a Hydrostream Viper with a Rude 140 and the bays can get kinda rough for that size boat, although the rubber duck thrives in the ruff...we often go offshore.
The Mullica river is a great choice for smaller boats. It's scenic, quite long, not too crowded, and close to AC....one of favorite spots.
Lake Wallenpalpak isn't that far either and has several campsites with ramps and gas and no speed limits that I know of.
