If you are looking for Ramps in the area there is one in Rocky Hill, CT and Old Saybrook CT. The one in Old Saybrook is brand new. The one in Rocky Hill is nice, but the might pull the docks in by mid October.

There is plenty of room for his boat in parking lot plus there are a bunch of people to help at the launch. Plus you have to be in the parking lot in the morning so we can drool on your new ride.:D

Liqui-Fly
09-30-2003, 07:35 AM
It should then. The skaters are deeper than this rig. I'm gonna twist his arm. That looks like a 28 Skater.

It's not my ride...but you'll be droling over my very nasty powerhead at the Romp next year
:D

That 32' Skater belongs to Hugh Durham . He used to have the 22' DCB that Justin now owns . Wait until you see Art's 18' Skater that Mack painted !

Hey Rich!!
I'll be there!! I will probably pick you up in Cromwell, though... I am having trailer problems. Tell me... do people bring their significant others... y' know... the blushing bride?? The run might take me quite a bit longer if I am forced to go 35. I think I just answered my own question...

Incidentally, for those denizens of the tittie bar, as a resident of Berlin I am proud to inform you that we now boast several such establishments!!

There is a Comfort Inn in Cromwell directly across the street from the Radisson if you need another decent hotel option. Regular rates are listed at around $80 per night plus tax. When I drove by there today there were tractor/trailers parked in a fairly large dirt lot within sight of the rooms on the west side. Of course they were also within sight of all the cars driving by. Oh yeah - Mike Schmidt and I will be there.
