Jersey Girls

[Sharkey-Images]

These 3 Jersey Girls topped off my 4th of July weekend with an afternoon cruise throughout the Jersey Shore area. Made 2 stops for a swim at the ever so well known "F-Cove". This place was packing them in all weekend.

[Sharkey-Images]

Almost wen to Treasure Island today, but considering the Holiday weekend late in the day, the Canal was going to be hell to deal with....:eek:
We decided to stay south....

[rmh77]

Great spot. Especially when the tide is running in...

Hospital is no longer. I believe they are looking to make it into condos...:eek:

[rmh77]

thats what i heard i was born in that hospital.:D i miss it up there sometimes but im now a fully converted florida person :D its cool to talk to people from the area.

[Sharkey-Images]

So how does that work now? Does that mean you are now officially born in Brick Hospital?:confused: ;) :D :D :D :D

[rmh77]

lol i guess so :D

[Sharkey-Images]

Here is looking out of the Cove over to Mantoloking...

[rmh77]

You ever run down by long beach island?

[Sharkey-Images]

Oh yeah!

Last year my wife and I were featured in Powerboat Magazine running with the NJPPC Atlantic City Poker Run.

I think we had just passed LBI when the shots were taken....

[rmh77]

Thats a nice running shot! I love that boat. Thats gonna be my next one some day

[Sharkey-Images]

Thanks!

This was coming under the bridge at AC Inlet

[rmh77]

Oh man i cant look at your post anymore im gonna wanna move back!:D Do you have any pics of point beach or the inlet?

[Sharkey-Images]

The beach: :D

[Sharkey-Images]

[Sharkey-Images]

Looking North at Manasquan

[Sharkey-Images]

Closer to Manasquan, North inside of Inlet

[rmh77]

oh man jenkinsons,martels you killin me lol:D those must be pics from the benny hanna race.

[Sharkey-Images]

More of the beach....

[Sharkey-Images]

Benihana has not been a sponsor since the 80's.

This race was only a few weeks ago. Brick OPA Offshore Race.

18+ boats made the start.

Far cry from the old days:(

[rmh77]

Thats it im gonna have to take a trip up there this summer! Check out the old stomping ground.Those are great pics thanks.

[Sharkey-Images]

Anytime.......;)

[rmh77]

oh really well that tells you the last time i saw the races. they used to pit in my back yard practiclly. I remember the races used to be awesome when i was a little kid

[Sharkey-Images]

Same here.

I actually had the opportunity to race from 1987 to 1992 consistently. It was awesome to race off of Point.

Since then, APBA had left and a few other organizations have continually ran races year after year, but they are mainly local boats. Nothing of the calibur you saw when Popeyes came into town....:(

[rmh77]

Yea that sucks i can remember so many boats being in that. and me and my buddies riding our bikes to the marina to see the boats. i think even don jhonson used to race in that

[delawarerick]

Great pictures many fond memories of LBI. We lived year round on LBI. I went to Beach Haven Elementary School. During this time there was only 2000 residents year round. I have pictures from my youth many years ago of the the fish houses were the boats would come in. As a kid I would shovel ice on the fish for the Phil,Pa market. Rick

[Sharkey-Images]

It's pretty cool to see where people have transplanted to....:cool:

I know so many have left for Fla for the warmer weather, but Rick, you certainly didn't move away very far.....
Perhaps just enough to escape the Jersey craziness?:D :D :D

[rmh77]

Thats funny rick i used to stay in beachhaven every summer with my grandparents. I used to love going to LBI. but i am in florida now and its hard to beat the weather in the winter.:D

[delawarerick]

Do either of you remember the inboard garvey races. At the end of the hydro races they held at barnegut they would race inboard garveys. Now I have to admit that would be around the early 60s late 50s. I searched for 5 years to lacate one that was raced called the Wasp in hopes to find purchase and restore. Needless to say I never found or found anybody that had one hidden or stored for sale. One other quick question does either of yall remember the ship the Lucy Evelyn which ran ashore and was made a gift shop which ended in a fire? Rick

[rmh77]

not me i wasnt born till 1977:D

[delawarerick]

That must mean im an old fart!:eek: my first engine was a scott- attwater 3.6:eek:

[Sharkey-Images]

I do remember the races.......

[WATERWINGS]

The beach??

I couldn't see past the pretty women.;)

[delawarerick]

Sharkey and rmh I got an aireal photo of the island and our house from the late 50s if I can figure how to scan I will send it your way. Most importantly Sharkey that is a fine looking family those girls are adorable. I might add that a sweet boat. Rick

[MacGyverJB]

Nice Pictures! I was down in Seaside Park this weekend, and to my surprise saw a large amount of performance outboard boats. I thought I was one of the only one, but for the first time while running along the flats toward Island Beach, was running along side an STV, and what looked to be a few Superboats.
The fireworks from Toms River were great if you caught those, I came across this aireal picture of the island I bought cause it shows about where my house is. The island looks very close to LBI!

10 to 12 lbs pressure and the gearcase is holding...:cool:

We left the boat in overnight Monday. When I woke and saw how nice of a day it was going to be, I just had to take off from work.

We went down to Tices Shoal of Island Beach State Park.

Here is a shot of the Manasquan Inlet from the 1996 race:

[WATERWINGS]

what is the big boat out front, and why is it out front, (cant be fast)??

Also looks like the boat behind him that is crossing his HUGE wake is way airborn (bow high, and headed for the rocks)

[Sharkey-Images]

It is the State Marine Police escort boat.....

[WATERWINGS]

did you notice the boat jumping his wake??

[Boz]

It's not. Look at the prop wash and the spray coming from both sides of that boats hull. It's pointed towards the back of the escort boat.

[Sharkey-Images]

The days when you couldn't find a spot on the jetty:

[Trikki1010]

Som pretty nice pics Sharkey

[rmh77]

nice pics spent many day fishin off that inlet. the mouth of that is nasty in the summer. i can remember taking breakers over the bow of my buddies 18 ft bow rider

[INXS]

South Harbor Marine, Wharetown, finally got my lower unit and jackplate from Bobs. Seems they are running about two weeks behind on their orders, lost a good month of boatting but it should be worth it. I hope to pick the boat up this weekend or early next week. I was thinking of checking out Barnaget Bay while I'm down their, any suggestions, maybe "F-Cove"?
PS, nice Pics. The Mate Looks Great!:cool:

[Sharkey-Images]

F-Cove or Treasure Island are two real nice spots. Treasure Island is just on the north side of the canal in the Manasquan River...

F-Cove is just on the North side of the Mantoloking bridge on the west side of the channel...:cool:

[Sharkey-Images]

At the base of the Mantoloking bridge is Traders Cove. Or at the end of Drum Point Rd in Brick, @ Drum Point Marina.

Other than that, a Public Boat Ramp in Brick is a JOKE!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

A town with the most waterfront property probably on the entire east coast, and we don't even have a public boat ramp to offer...:confused:

[trbocharge]

Looks real familiar Shark.....have you beaned any little kids in the head with a football lately????LOL
