Is there a date for the second Romp? I want to reserve early and get a waterfront site for that one. My wife likes the island beach better. I think I'm coming up alone for the first one an just staying Sat into Sunday.

[Scream And Fly]

The Romp was so much fun - I should be in NY this summer again, so I'll be there!

Greg

[eautosales]

maybe ill bring a boat this year :D

[Trikki1010]

Paul, ya better bring a boat this year, either that or I'll drag you AND Greg ;)

Greg, Better bring the Sat-Link for the camper :eek: :D :D

Here we go, back to 220 :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

Do we have to plan for that already:) It's usually the third week in August isn't it?

[at100plus]

It would be great to have an exact August date too, if we reserve now, we can probably get waterfront.

3rd weekend in August is Sat. the 20th and Sun. the 21st.

[CRMERC]

:) I am going to wait and see how our new arrival is doing in the spring. little spencer was born the first week of november and probaly wont have his sea legs yet. but the boat is ready to go.

[at100plus]

Hey! Congrats Carl!!! The first few months are rough, but it's getting more fun now.

[Riverratt]

how close to the water are the sites that are not waterfront? Is there any bad sites? Do most people stay in a tent? Are there shower houses close by? Sorry for all the questions but I am really hoping to make some events with the family this year and I need good answers before the wife and daughter say yes.

[PhastBoat]

Any of these site are great - very close to the launching ramp- and bathrooms.
I am in site 208 Fly is in 207

[beer30]

Tracy and I will be there coming up Thursday, instead of Friday. Staying at Flip's also. Bringing alot of Pucker. Now they have a ton of different flavors. :D :D :D :eek: Chuck.

[Riverratt]

I was wondering because their website says prefered trailer sites or something like that. It looks like the shower house is on the other side of the lake. How far is that?

[john ring]

its a good walk from the sites were we stay,10 minutes by foot i would guess

[stokernick]

ohboyohboyohboy!!!!! I guess it's time to start thinking about some of all the things I was going to do this year and maybe even doing some!!!

[Riverratt]

Looks like we will be attending as long as my Evinrude is welcome. Any of the sites you posted are good correct? Is it better to be right in the middle of the party or should I give myself some distance?

[stokernick]

IMHO all sites are fine and very accessable to the activities.You should probably bring an extra flashlight for Trikki.AND a drainplug for Charley!

[Riverratt]

I am down for 209, I hope I dont regret being that close to the party :D

[Charlie M]

Yes a drainplug for me.

[stokernick]

Charlie,glad you're still around,don't worry about your site selection,you'll be fine!!!!!!

[Riverratt]

I will be there with my trusty omc to back you up. It will good to finally meet some of you guys

[Liqui-Fly]

518-762-1421....I will be able to answer all your questions.

[Hottrucks]

Hey Trikki if you bring something that floats I'll try to bring something that runs! Are you going to bring the spare, heard you got some better steering we can send the kids and women out to test it !!! :D

Guess I'll call the Flip !!!

[Riverratt]

I will have to give you a call with some question sometime. Is site 209 a good one? Why does it say that it will not be a water front site in the summer? Will I still be able to get my boat to that site?

[81hydrostream]

209 is a good site. There are places to pull up. I dont know about later in the summer but during june of both the romps that I have been to that site has been waterfront.

[HERB]

Ok I'm in for another romp site #212.

[stvhelm]

oh crap! one day I miss the forums and you post the romp date and someone takes my site:mad: cant even book another one now cause the site is closed till 4am

[stvhelm]

ok. I got 213 this time around. if I took someones site....well tuff:p :D

[Riverratt]

I apologise if I am the one who took your site. I did not know there was assigned sites since this is my first time. I figured if it mattered someone would have said to keep that site open :confused:

[Liqui-Fly]

He won't be worrying about us when his generator and A/C is running :D

[Trikki1010]

Freitag,

You and Trish better watch where your generator discharges, I can't get hit by you AND Herb at the same time:D

Speaking of discharge, we won't talk about septic yet :eek: :eek:

[LGT-FST]

Chase white boat around lake, chase white boat to dam and back, make excuse's for one more year. Fly they catch you on key board at work too many times. Join the work force and be productive log on when you get home. The river is almost open come down and whoop me. :eek:

[Trikki1010]

Chase

Chased

Chaste ;) :D

[The Big Al]

Ok! When is this going to happen?

And us southern boys with fishing rods and all want to come!

Tell me more!

Al

[PhastBoat]

All are welcome! And from what Ive heard they pulled some pretty big Pike out of that lake.

[Riverratt]

This year it is going to be chase the white and blue boat with the OMC :eek:

[Charlie M]

I think I have a friend heading up with me. I found him a Hydrostream. I am not positive which day I will be headed there but I am going this year

[stvhelm]

Riverrat, Im not upset at all. I got a nice site too. we'll all have a good time. I dont think Ill be chasing anyone;)

[Riverratt]

Good to hear you are not upset. I am just looking to have fun and meet alot of people. I am hoping people will be chasing me but the only reason I have a chance is because my boat holds 44 gallons of fuel that got to help if we go for distance :D

[at100plus]

Helmut, I'm crashing your site. Why don't you ever answer your emails?

[stokernick]

LGT-FST,where the hell were you two weekends ago??There were only two cars there from Ct.#95 and 03. Weather was great,in the thirty's,and about40 cars.I took some pics with the new digital camera,but have no clue how to post them!This year's Romp will definitely be the challenge.I think after watching you sneak away early someone will have your number!!!!!!Even UCONN is struggling this year!! I'd almost predict an all ACC final four!!

[Liqui-Fly]

Hey it isn't my fault you chickened out at the River Run. Russ told you I was racing airplanes on Friday and you got nervous :eek: :D

[stvhelm]

mike ever since you fixed my computer I cant read my emails. It does run faster but the email page wont load anymore. I'll get about 20 messages saying "your about to view over a secure connection. then another saying "Im about to leave a secure connection". it does this back and forth and eventually says page not available. this thing is gonna get a punch:cool: and NO battery...... Bad! PC

Yes, you can bring your new floating dock for me to tie off to:D

[Trikki1010]

Yes, you can bring your new floating dock for me to tie off to:D

Helmut, Ya better hide and/or lock all loose gas cans and put locking gas caps on the trucks:eek: :eek:

That run ought to put a bite in the ole pocket book Mike, DAM and BACK :D

Are ya gonna take us all for RIDES :eek: ;)

[PhastBoat]

:eek: :eek: :eek: .........................................

[stokernick]

yeah,"I can't afford the gas@$2.50/gal it's killing me!""I shoulda .............!"

[Liqui-Fly]

WTF kind of racing might that be? Racing to the bar?

[LGT-FST]

Nick I'm either working or racing down here. Raced 3 times down here,won all 3 by large margin's. Audi's or Allison's always at the front. Uconn having some upset's but they will be there when it count's. Whooped up on Syracuse at the carrier dome the other night. Russ and I will be up on friday and stay at the inn at the bridge. Rule #1 at romp do not try to keep up with red and white euro, rule #2 blast right bye blue and white euro. Fly, boss take away your key board? He must have seen 6034 posts and said I paid for 6000.

[Liqui-Fly]

You just bring that little Ally up and prepare yourself for the agony of defeat. Don't you worry about my post number....Greg stopped paying my salary :p

[HERB]

Sounds like this years dam run will be even better than the last few? Maybe I can get out in front of that little ally this year. Instead of running on his wing.

[PhastBoat]

WTF kind of racing might that be? Racing to the bar?

EXACTLY! First one there gets the best real estate. And by the way, break open that moth infested wallet and splurge for 2005 team membership ya cheap bastard.

[stokernick]

OUCH!!!!! Give that man a donut!

[Liqui-Fly]

Plus Greg told me you've beenn paying in installments on yours so I'm just waiting on credit approval.

[stokernick]

Sam,they had a ice-fishing contest there this weekend and a girl pulled an 18lb northern pike this AM,took about an hour to get it through the hole.Warren they raced this weekend here and Delorenzo's sprint car car would eat your lunch.They had a couple from Maine,Ct,Canada,and Vt plus!!! OH,and the Tarheels laid it on the Huskies too.WUWT??

[at100plus]

Sam unless some unforseeable trajedy comes along you'll have to be standing over my dead body with a smoking gun to get the title to this one from me.

Even if gas prices went up to $10 / gallon I would just sit in front of my garage and stare at it all day, save for the whole winter to take one ride in the summer!

[PhastBoat]

Would you concider a REAL NICE 28 Skater to be a "unforseeable trajedy" ?:D

[beer30]

He wouldn't, but the wife might be another story!!!!! :D Chuck

[LGT-FST]

You know how to kick a man when he is down. Uconn men lose to #2 tarheel's and woman lose to #11 rutgers. The river is clear, bring that et down on sunday, we'll see if we can spin it. Fly I'm waiting for a beatin. :)

[at100plus]

No Sam, that would be an unforseeable lottery win.

[beer30]

Mike, that 32 over in hulls for sale is really sweet. Super nice boat, you should get that and sell the 24!!!!! :eek: :D Chuck.

[at100plus]

Ummm no, I think I'm on the verge of sink or swim as it is!

[stokernick]

Warren,they came back,took two overtimes,but they came back!!I love how the ACC&BigEast,&SEC are beating each other upand the rest of the nation plays their cupcakes.Can't wait for March,cuz then it'll be April and then..........

[Liqui-Fly]

Start your own damn thread if you trees want to talk about lame ass basketball all the time.

[platypus]

Yeah, the lounge ???? :p

[Sutphen115]

I am going to try and go this year, so this will be my first time. Are there any sites to stay away from?

[beer30]

Hey, the kids in these colleges are O.K. They still have a few more years before they get paid to play for the professional Street gang. :D Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

Try to get sites in the 200 to 220 range. Anything that isavailable should be ok. If there is a problem they will set you up with something acceptable.

[PhastBoat]

Just stay away from site 207 - It stinks PEEEEEYEWWWWWWWWWWW

[LGT-FST]

Fly you know that two people can post were ever they want, your father and the king!

[Liqui-Fly]

Elvis has been dead a long time.

I put in a little work today....should add about 5 mph.

[Trikki1010]

I put in a little work today....should add about 5 mph.

Does this mean you hit the tread mill :eek: :eek: :D

BTW boys, Bulletboy buys the farm tomorrow ;)

[beer30]

He still have enough time to bail!!!! :eek: Only kidding. Hope to see him at Romp. Less then 4 months to go. :D Chuck.

[Hottrucks]

This is what your trying to say Trikki!! :eek:

Ok we have a problem I cann't post the pic But it was those plastic wedding cake people and she was dragging him across the cake by the tux LMAO :rolleyes:

[Trikki1010]

Ya have to go on a case by case basis.

Ray's got a good woman in Rosie, wouldn't want to see him with anyone else ;)

Warren's on Liqui-Fly's case :p

AND Liquifly is a Basket Case :eek: :D

Love ya Dave :D

[Liqui-Fly]

This is just a test:)

[eautosales]

yes fly thats a prop

[PhastBoat]

This is just a test:)

Answer: Seven?

[at100plus]

Sam you said you studied.

[wing nut]

fly does this mean your done with your "best super fast prop" thu hub piece of stainless junk?? :D

o yea, im in.. campsite 204. its a little walk but not to bad... its at least on the water still. NOW i just need to see if i can have my damn boat readyy for it


scott

Elvis has been dead a long time.

I put in a little work today....should add about 5 mph.

Romoved the cooler? :D

Short of a call to GPI, you couldn't couldn't remove that much ballast. At least from that 'boat'.... :p

[Liqui-Fly]

Are you coming to the Romp or are you just gonna sit out there in your midwest speed delusion. I heard all the guys from your region were the Sloest boats at the Rumble.....you know that whole, talk is cheap thing :D

[Tom D.]

I got site 201 agian!

Tom :cool:

[Cp]

My place to Northville, NY:

Total Est. Time: 17 hours, 44 minutes Total Est. Distance: 1153.31 miles

Looks like a great gig. I've always heard the lakes up that way were pristine. (Grew up in SW PA) Too bad it's a little on the 'far side'.

I'm not really sure what you're digging at with the Rumble comment?

You're right about one thing, though. Talk IS cheap.

[GPI Racing]

Liqi fly,

Go to the Allison 50th. I'll give you a ride faster than any of your friends can go. So much for the region being slow. The offer stands. :o

Randy

P.S. this is a friendly offer..you need to experience it to be a true believer.

[Liqui-Fly]

But just the same I have zero interest an an Allison at a 100 plus ride....I like watching other idio...err people do that. But I seriously doubt you're going to take me faster than Helmut could.

Cp that is way father than I'd drive to see you too :D

[Charlie M]

yea Fly use the reverse psychology thing to attract new attendees

[Cp]

......But I seriously doubt you're going to take me faster than Helmut could...... :p

Thanks, Fly! That made my day!

[GPI Racing]

Considering I can and have given rides faster than Helmet has ever run his boat, I would think you are not familiar with my craft. Not taking anything away from Helmet and anything he has accomplished (I know of no other euro that runs like his), my little river rocket can take you past 130 in less than 1/2 mile. There is quite a bit of difference between his boat and mine, along with the distance it takes to get there. Talked to Helmet at Jasper and we thought we should trade boats for a squirt if we ever boated at the same place. The offer still stands if we ever boat in the same water...it would be fun,,I promise....

Randy

[Liqui-Fly]

The only thing I don't get is why they are using KPH, and the K isn't for knots, in the midwest. I thought the entire nation was still mph.

Randy I saw your STV on TV....that thing was never over 90....yeah I know...the camera subtracts 40 mph :eek:

[GPI Racing]

Cool!

BTW how far is the Romp from Rochester? When I was at Dave Casper's place I fell in love with the area. Reminded me of that Chevy Chase movie "Funny Farm". Most people in the U.S. think of New York as all buildings and things. It was some beautiful country to visit and I'd love to go back but the distance is right up there.

Randy

[Charlie M]

Its about 600 or so miles for me. I missed it last year and regret doing so. Make no mistake about it I will be there this year. Hopefully Wing Nut can bring a boat and keep it right side up long enough so I can let him taste my Rooster Tail :D

[PhastBoat]

CP and GPI out for a cruise.

[wing nut]

charlie charlie chalrie........this yr you will have me beat (at the romp) as long as i can get my vixen back together in time to run ya. The rumble on the other hand.. ill get back to you on that.

dont 4get the drain plug!:)

scott

[Trikki1010]

Reminded me of that Chevy Chase movie "Funny Farm".

Now, now RANDY,

We'll admit ya hit 140+ w/ your little light river rocket, Fly's just excited cause they don't let him out much in the Winter ;)

BUT

The proof of burden IS, that the midwest supplies MORE contestants for the "Jerry Springer Show" than we do :eek: :eek: :D

Would love to see you and Helmet swap, I got $50 towards gas ;) :D :D
Dave, ante up ya cheap bastard :p

[beer30]

Ricky, I agree with you. Would love to see Randy bring his rocket to the Romp. I will throw in for gas also. Nothing better then watching Helmut and Randy fly to the dam. :D Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

I've decided twins are going on my boat soon. I'm gonna finish the interior...get it all squared away and then begin the planning for another 2.7 on the back. Heehee hahahaha

Anyway....how about some pics of Romps gone by. These are boats that are no longer with us. Some owners stepped up....some stepped out

[Liqui-Fly]

The AO has been spotted in Texas

[Liqui-Fly]

Bullet with 280 back in 2000...ran 96

[Liqui-Fly]

That have made it every year....with the same rig....the guys we love to hate...always running...never wrenching....unless someone else needs Russ's help...Russ and Gary. Oh yeah two of the fastest too.

[GPI Racing]

Trikki 1010,

Just to clarify, my reference to the Chevy Chase movie was meant to say how nice the country was, not the people in the town. I forgot the movie portrayed the town's people being a little "off". It just came to mind because I liked the eastern country that was filmed. Opps.. It didn't register 'till today why you picked out that quote. Sorry but it's the only movie I thought of that showed the country and not the "city". Take no offence as is was not to be taken that way.

Randy

[stokernick]

No need to apologize,GPI,cuz Trikki fits the profile to a "T".The rest of us knew you were talking about the beautiful scenary and concur with your thoughts.

[Liqui-Fly]

Are the best kept secret in the nation.

They can make them look like pine trees .:)

[Hottrucks]

Have You been to the Banner Town Fair?? come on Nick you need to get out more, if you want scenery try Miami beach!!

As far as the moive it was filmed 2 towns over from me and just up the street there was another film done you may have heard of "On Golden Pond" It's a nice lake "If you like ROCKS"

[PhastBoat]

I saw On Golden Blonde!

Nick - Stop kissing Randy's ass, he CAN'T make your bloat any faster except to THROW it off Niagra Falls :eek: :D

Randy, just jostling ya, didn't mean to come off pissy. We've got a funny way of showing "kindness" over here, NOT too much different than by you..... :cool:

I still want to see your lighty light up close (STV that is) ;)

[Hottrucks]

Haven't you Seen "Deliverance"

[stokernick]

Bannertown Fair is nothing,how about we take you up to Allentown,and I don't mean Pennslyvania!!!!!!!!!And don't be raggin on my boat,cuz it's an '84 that Al raced and still hasn't come apart like one I know!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trikki1010]

Besides, she'll be brand new purty for the ROMP ;)

Just in time to break it again :rolleyes:

[Liqui-Fly]

Ricky will be driving a Delta with a V-6 at the ROMP.

[Trikki1010]

I've decided twins are going on my boat soon. Heehee hahahaha

I'm sure it ain't the Olsen's :rolleyes:

Do they have a full set of teeth between 'em :eek: :eek: :D

If the little woman finds out, YOUR DOOMED buddy

[Trikki1010]

Just for sincerity sake;)

This is the ONLY time I saw YOUR backside Fly :p

[Dutch]

Sorry guys, I cant bring my yellow river rocket up to the Romp
this year as I just sold it.





But I can bring the Euro I just sent out a deposit on.
See ya soon. This is messed up, I've owned three speed
boats in a little over a year. Sixteen months to be exact.
later,
Matt

[at100plus]

We have that in common, but that's because you can't settle for anything less than what you really want so why bother trying just go get what you want, and fight it out with the ole lady later!

[Hottrucks]

Ouch that hurts!!!
Your one up one me 100 and you just keep waxing that thing I'm sure it looks good in your driveway!!!! I'm still looking but I leave for Fla. next monday and Who know what's coming back??? All I can say is talk to dirty Bert and see if he's still intrested in my Talon?!

[stokernick]

let's see,beats mine with a hole in the bottom,hhmmmm,to the trailer???Cuz I went to the dam and back and I think you and Bullet were nursing hangovers!!!!!!

[Trikki1010]

C'mon Nick,

You know I would have made it BUT

We were BUSY fabricating a 2" outlet bilge pump out of budweiser cans and were experimenting in COLD FUSION when Bulletboy suffered a lab accident :eek: :eek:

Dirty Bert, BulletBoy and I DID make it to the DAM if you recall ;)

But we've censored THOSE photos :D

But NOT this one after the lab experiment:eek: ;)

[Hottrucks]

Which one of you is the professor and which one is BEEKER!!! and where is Bert anyway??

[Charlie M]

OK I am reserved. Looks like sight 220. Anybody have a drainplug I can borrow and I will be set.

[beer30]

Are you going to do the bonfire Friday night and Sports pub on Saturday like last year? You were saying that you might do something different this year. Chuck.

[Riverratt]

I hope the bonfire wont be my tent since I will be the new guy.

[PhastBoat]

I hope the bonfire wont be my tent since I will be the new guy.

Don't worry by Sat. you can sleep in an empty beer can igloo from all my empties from my site.

[Riverratt]

I don't think my wife and kid have any clue what they are in for. :eek:

[Hottrucks]

Why are you doing it Again the same weekend as Motor cycle week at laconia??and fathers day??

[PhastBoat]

Why are you doing it Again the same weekend as Motor cycle week at laconia??and fathers day??

Have you noticed this is a BOATING web site?
Bring your kids.

[Hottrucks]

Boating is only one of my BAD HABITS!!!

[stokernick]

I've got you covered,Charlie,and can even furnish a hot wire bilge pump,but your battery is probably dead,right??Jeff,who is Father's Day for???Grow some --lls!!

[Liqui-Fly]

I always wondered why Laconia scheduled the same weekend as the Romp.

I am thinking about doing some things differently this year but I am undecided. I think the pub would be more fun if we made a commitment early for the entire room upstairs and did a buffet or something of the sort. But the numbers game is tough. Would like to do awards...joke awards ect for some fun too. The only thing the dam dun is Sunday morning so the King of the Damn presentation would be tough. Or we could make it the previous years king...which was me.

[Rich Owen]

Isn't there a difference between King of the Dam and the Damn King ? :D

[beer30]

So this year you want us to address you as " Your Majesty." :D :D :eek: Chuck.

[PhastBoat]

What about the boxing matches?

[Liqui-Fly]

We did that last year and I knocked you and John the F-out and had nothing to do for the rest of the night. The ambulance crew did a nice job setting your shoulder.

I was up and running for the JUNE and August ROMP 2004!
Seems I remember some one breaking something at the August 03 Romp??????????? It looked like a metalic fishin boat with a Big Checkmate windshield.

And who says lead doesn't float, eh Fly :D :D

Wait a minute here Jeff, we should call you "Skip" for the way you were operating that Talon :eek: :eek:

[Cp]

You couldn't see my crank when my blew.....it was still in better shape than anything you were running. :eek:

Hey Cp...who asked ya? This is a Rompers post. The midwest story teller post is someplace else.

Genuinely curious, that's all. :mad:

[Riverratt]

Just out of curiousity how many motors have blown at the romp in the past? I am starting to see a pattern here. Maybe I should let my slomc at home. :eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

I don't think me lost any last year. We get a few here and there. Don't fear though....the Romp is good exercise for them. Holding them to the floor for 30-40 miles at a time is good for them....good for the soul too.

[Riverratt]

I dont think my crossflow will like being flat out for that long. I think I better wear a helmet for when the end of the crank breaks off and the flywheel comes through the cowling.

[Charlie M]

Ralph, Dont worry an OMC has never been lost at a Romp. But not I have seen plenty a Merc blown :D But then if you look at the pictures you will see like 60 Mercs and like 1 or 2 OMC's and maybe a Yamaha. The air is cool and dense up there...little extra jet and it will take some serious mistreating. Don't forget the slippery water that good for an extra 10 mph over southern water.

[Hottrucks]

Sorry Trikki, If it was Skip he'd left sunday still runnning??

That would be a great post " WHAT DID YOU BLOW UP at The Romp!! "
and What Is Your Excuse??

If we collect all the bad Merc stories we could combine them and call the book

A Day at The Lake with Me and My OMC

[Liqui-Fly]

It isn't the air that is dense :eek:

[PhastBoat]

It is compared to the air on Mars

[Charlie M]

????Davids house is like Mars???? David is a Martain, well that just explains everything

[wing nut]

technicly.. shouldnt the air be LESS dence as you go UP in height from sea-level??? sure coldeer air is dence.. but its useually not chilly up there during the summer. am i right here or wayy off.. i think it sounds correct.

scott

[Charlie M]

Yes air is less dense with higher altitude. Was not aware of the 800' altitude I thought it was more like 300 or 400. But the air temp is a little more drastic that what you think. 100+ degree heat really kills an outboard.

On another note we have planned head down there and spend the night wed at a hotel and camp thrus through sat nights. Will everyone already be there thursday morning, I think we cannot get our sights before noon. Will anyone be on the lake before noon or should I just plan to sleep in late and get something to eat before heading over.

I'll give someone else the chance to be king of the lake before I head over.

[PhastBoat]

Sounds Like We Made Need Another Invervention

[Riverratt]

I am planning on getting there Friday early afternoon and leaving sometime Monday morning. So you are saying it will be a very dense atmosphere? :D

[beer30]

Yea, but only the air between the ears!!!! :D Chuck.

[Riverratt]

I just hope I wont have to dumb it down too much just to drink beer and hang out with you guys. :D

[Trikki1010]

I just hope I wont have to dumb it down too much just to drink beer and hang out with you guys. :D

Knowing these guys, you might just be RAISING the bar :eek: :eek:

They ARE pretty dense :D :D ;)

[Hottrucks]

Knowing these guys, you might just be RAISING the bar :eek: :eek:



Rickie you know better than say bar around these guys at 5:30 by 10 they'll be passed out!!

[beer30]

This year we are coming child-less, so we will being ready to hang!! :D :D Well at least Tracy will, when it comes to partying I am pretty much a light-weight. :rolleyes: :) Chuck.

[PhastBoat]

YEAH BUDDY!

[Trikki1010]

Who gonna boat to the Sport Island dinner night with me this year :D :D

I know the way back to the campground ;)

[Charlie M]

Can a chart of the lake be bought anywhere? The last year we went I sorta got lost and rode all arround looking for the way back. Good thing for gas stations on the water.

[Liqui-Fly]

But they won't do you much good unless you're overhead in an airplane...they don't have grid positons on them.

[Charlie M]

You will think I am in an airplane when I hit the water this year David :D

I stopped and talked to a guy last year on the lake and he had a fairly big chart. Send me one I'll pay you for your trouble. I think we will be a party of 2 boats and 9 or 11 people this year. We are really looking forward to this

[Trikki1010]

Charlie,

You MAY be in luck

I think you have the site next to ME :eek: :eek: :D

Can I bring my new toy? But with a 2.5 drag?

[beer30]

Good lookin boat, can't wait to see it. :cool: Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

Charlie the first year of the event I made a bunch of them so I'm pretty sure I have some laying around. They were really nice in binders too. But nobody really cared....I guess only sailboat people really like them. People with fast stuff just drivve around until they find where they are going:)

[PhastBoat]

Between the breakdowns and the missing plugs Charlie IS just like a sail boater

[Charlie M]

I fully intend to blow up a motor this year as well. The year before last I remembered my Drain plug and ran the Romp+the Rumble+the CT RIver Run all on one motor!!! I keep extra drain plugs in the glove box now. No sailing this year, but we where gonna check out the lake this year.

[Trikki1010]

Can I bring my new toy? But with a 2.5 drag?


FOR REAL ! ! ! ! !

Excellent Matt, Back to where ya wanted to be ;)

Besides, that holds more beer :D :D

[Riverratt]

I would like a map of the lake as well if possible even tho most of you will tell me where to go before the weekend is over.

[beer30]

Last year, we stopped at a local store and picked one up. Gave you some idea where you are. Couldn't find one with a depth chart. Who knows Dave might be having orientation, with all these people coming up!!!!! :D ;) Sam could do one on drinking!!!! :D :D Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

I will make them up and mail them out before the event.

[PhastBoat]

There will be a test at the end.

[Liqui-Fly]

This ain't a weekend frat party

[Riverratt]

I wanna boat! I just found out from Phastboat that beer is better for my high bloodpressure than milk because of the sodium. Looks like beer it is then!

[beer30]

Chuck and I had a major initiation plan for all those virgin mother puckers. :D
We got the shot glasses chillin' already. We'll find out who can hang. I have been shop lifting dum dums for about a week now, get ready to start sucking and pucking!!!!!! :p ;) :D :eek: Tracy.

[Riverratt]

I am almost afraid to ask what you are talking about. :eek:

[Trikki1010]

Tracy your a trooper ;)

I'm leaning "most" of the kids behind, so we will have fun. :D :D

I'll even bring a wheelbarrow for Chuck :eek: :eek: :D

Ready and willing to Puck :eek: :D

[platypus]

Hey,

I'm no virgin. Looking forward to hangin with everyone and seeing who falls first. Save a dum dum for me! PUCKER UP! :D

SERENA ;)
Fadinfast 18S Skater

[Charlie M]

I just found a cooler that holds 188 cans of beer!!!! Thats onc can of beer every half hour for the whole 4 days!!!

[Liqui-Fly]

That's about half the rate Phastboat and Mr. Clean comsume them. :eek:

[beer30]

Last year, Tracy and I were the some of the new kids on the block. This year there no-holds bard, Sam better be ready to really hang!!!!! :eek: :D :D Chuck.

[stokernick]

anybody want to boat,or will your's all be broke??

[wing nut]

as long as my junk is together ill be boating:) thats what im there for!

scott

[Charlie M]

As long as I can remember the drain plug I will be boating.

[beer30]

You guys go ahead and boat, we will keep the beer super cold for when you get done!!!! :D Except for you, Scott. You are going to need I.D.!!!! :D Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

If I were you guys I would want to get slapped around by a Stratos all weekend either :D

[Riverratt]

Hey fly, what are you going to tell your friends over on the other board after you get your butt handed to you by my omc? :D

[wing nut]

If I were you guys I would want to get slapped around by a Stratos all weekend either :D


translation of the above statement.. "bla bla bla...bla bla.. blaaaa i have a slow stratos.. bla blaaa"

:)

scott

[beer30]

For you to slap anybody around, you would need a FAST Stratos!! :D Now is there such a thing????? :p :D

[Liqui-Fly]

Responses from three easy victories.

[Cp]

.. "bla bla bla...bla bla.. blaaaa i have a slow stratos.. bla blaaa"

Oh but, Scott. This is one that "that Roarke did while he was with Stratos...."

Whoa. And how. THAT makes it cool to be slow.

[beer30]

Only way you could beat me, is for me forget to put my prop on!!!!!!hahahahah :D

[PhastBoat]

Responses from three easy victories.

Thems is tall words! Chuck's boat should be around or over the century mark and over any water.

The fly will need some flat ass water to stay in front of Chuck, or me for that matter.

[Riverratt]

Since you obviously dont have a shot at winning the race to the dam could you stay back and watch my kid for me so I can go out and play with the big boys? :eek:

[Charlie M]

Dave I can help you out. I just got this killer kevlar rope I can certainly pull you past 100 easy. I have horsepower to spare.

[wing nut]

ill be bringing the big boat (hopefully). but its going to be pretty slow with only the 2.0L powerhead.. still may beat the fly though:) hahaha

scott

[beer30]

What is the big boat?? Is your dad coming also? Chuck.

[wing nut]

yup dad is comming to the romp (of course)the big boat for me is the laser i just bought. its an old race hull from the modvp days. 19ft long but REAL light. i was planning on building a 2.4EFI but im just going to use the 2.0L efi for now.. then switch it over when i have the $$$ to build a new kick ass motor:)

scott

[Liqui-Fly]

I've yet to see single engine a 21 run over 100.

Charlie I'm so tired of your nonsense that there is nooooo waaaayyyyy you're gonna hide all weekend this time. A GPS is going in your boat and everyone will see your big 80 mph run.

Cp you're just another tool with an Allison and some hero that does all your work....so whatever.

Phastboat...I thought you kicked that crack habit. Ok it's rough so I'll slow down to 90 and only be 15 mph faster than you. Blaaahahahahahahahahahaha

Wingnut....I'll be surpirsed if you're even running.

Take that bitches!! :mad:

[mr.clean]

:D your all gonna be broken down again anyway :eek: so just bring lots of beers and an umbrella :rolleyes:

[Liqui-Fly]

You mean Phastboat?

[at100plus]

I'll be washing dishes at the gas dock.

[mr.clean]

don't forget! charlie m. brings a broken down boat with him every year :eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

We all bring paper plates :confused:

[at100plus]

Then how am I going to pay for all my gas? Maybe I can paint the gas dock for them?

[Liqui-Fly]

Can your e-mail handle a 4 MB video. I wanna show you what I have for these chumps. Send me the addy too.

[Liqui-Fly]

Mad EFI ECU's for both motors. You can squeeze some economy out of them. I'm not sure how many gallons it would take to recover the cost though. Hopefully we'll start another War for oil. The first one didn't pan out like the libs said.

[PhastBoat]

Hey butt nutt

send me the video I'll post it for you.

[Liqui-Fly]

It isn't for you to see. I want you to keep talkin so I can laugh when I blow by and peel whatever gay ass stripe you have on your banana this year.

[at100plus]

Hopefully we'll start another War for oil. The first one didn't pan out like the libs said.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Well if they drill Anwar, I'll beat you all!:D

[PhastBoat]

Wide open at the CT river run. It looks like its running at least 78MPH.

Trim up more Butt Nutt. I thought it was a squirt boat.

http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=MVI_008414

[Liqui-Fly]

Motor is flat...propshaft is about 3" above the pad and slip is around 11%. So tell me banana boy....why is somebody that is running 70 talking trash to me? What's your e-mail?

[PhastBoat]

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


http://www.taylormarine.com/windshields/images_windsh/select_system_lg.jpg (http://www.taylormarine.com/windshields/select_system.html#)

[Trikki1010]

Motor is flat...propshaft is about 3" above the pad and slip is around 11%. So tell me banana boy....why is somebody that is running 70 talking trash to me? What's your e-mail?

And you could tell this all from that video :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

David, you know you only got 3" to begin with,
FROM the Maxi-pad :eek: :eek:

[beer30]

How do you watch the video? :D

[platypus]

Open your eyes. :p :D

[wing nut]

Wingnut....I'll be surpirsed if you're even running.

Take that bitches!! :mad:


me too!!:) haha

BUUTTT if im running i expect to see that backseat and big black thing to be painted and finsihed.. because if i can get a whole damn boat done before the romp.. you better have that crap finshed.


scott

[Liqui-Fly]

I'm working on it but it has been so damn cold.

Sorry Trikki I know my boat. Say for instance I had a big crack in the bottom...you see I would know that. It wouldn't take bouyant empty beer cans to clue me in. POW :eek:

How much for the windshield? You might break 80 this year so you might need it so you don't have to lean into it

[Riverratt]

I would be ashamed of that video if I were you. I saw a duck swim past you. I thought you were faster than that. I may have to dig up my 17 pitch ski prop just to give you a chance. :eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

I just sent Sam another.......it's gonna be fun hurting feelings:)

[Riverratt]

You do know why the omc cowlings are so big dont you? They are actually bilboards so you merc guys have something to look at while chasing us. Is there anything special you would like me to have on the back of mine for the Romp? :D

[PhastBoat]

http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=P7070001

[Liqui-Fly]

That's a video of a video...I'll take one of a better pass today maybe.

Oooo man it got ugly in here last night. I think everyone is getting sick of winter. Here is something to warm everyone's heart....we even give Adirondak widdling classes. There are photos of blacksmithing out there somewhere also.

[beer30]

You better stop screwing around videos and get working on that boat!! :D Your a$$ whipping is only right around the corner. The guys are going to draw straws to figure out who gives it to you!!! :eek: :D :D Chuck.

[Liqui-Fly]

There are only about 4 that I'm worried about. The rest between not stepping up and/or breaking down I like my chances:) I figure we'll do a nice lined up start this year. I'll be able to peal a few off on the rocks around that first corner hehehe.

I should be getting some work done today though. Waiting for the weather isn't really working out.

[Cp]

.... tool .... Allison ....... hero .... blabla....

No, Fly....You're my hero.

Hey here's a challenge. You take that GPS to your Romp and we'll all look forward to hearing the numbers... Take some pix too, of course.

[at100plus]

IF this weather doesn't improve I'm going to shoot myself in the leg.

[Scream And Fly]

Mike, I don't understand - it's almost 80 degrees here now.:confused::D

[mr.clean]

:cool: sitting by the pool sippin on a frozen margarita ;)

[Charlie M]

Greg, will you be attending again. You should try something different and bring a boat :D

If any of you guys want big gps numbers, I can wait on the lake, bring me the GPS and tell me how fast you want it to read and I will take it for a ride

[mr.clean]

Greg, will you be attending again who? captain trailer man :) charlie, what's the name of the pile of parts your bringing this year?

[Trikki1010]

There are only about 4 that I'm worried about. The rest between not stepping up and/or breaking down I like my chances:) I figure we'll do a nice lined up start this year. I'll be able to peal a few off on the rocks around that first corner hehehe.

I should be getting some work done today though. Waiting for the weather isn't really working out.

By "On the Rocks" do you mean you need to DRINK to see those numbers :rolleyes:

There are 4 people who could beat that lead sled in REVERSE. :eek: :eek:

For Pete's sake, I ran faster with a hole in the bottom :p

[beer30]

:D I think Fly is delusional, maybe from being stuck inside from the rough winter. I hope he wakes up soon from the dream he is having!!!! :D
