June 9th-12th, NO Name, NO Host, NON Event, Great Sacandaga Lake, NY

Great time as always Pete. Bob and Jeff, loved hangin with you guys. Good thing Bob showed us how to properly use the cannon, we needed that! Thanks for breakfast Rocky and Angie. Thanks for inviting us to your party last night Don. Cool seeing your crew, James Coles crew, and the rest of all the Rompers, great night. Glad I didn't see the sun rise like some. Was a blast as always riding around with all my Long Island buddies. Oh and cant forget Johnny Geico taking us on that rain cruse. All and all I would have to say an outstanding weekend but it went too fast.

A few li boys!

Stoker Nick is my hero!!! and the three guys in the hydrostream... runner up.. out in 3-4 footers....i,m sure everyone that was there has a story to tell. all in all it was a good day.i would like to thank all involved for putting this gathering together.

I still can't believe this weekend came and went soo fast. Amazing time with amazing people. It's been too long since I've been to the romp... I may have been a young kid in previous years but it's still just like I remember it.... rainy, buggy, great people and great memories being made. See you fellas around!

Hey man any "old guy" with a tub of fiberglass strapped with 200+HP is still a kid at heart! You guys are awsome. And c'mon you were just toying with me I can't even imagine that boat with a big wheel on it... :eek:

Another romp in the books and it was such a fun time! It was great to see old friends and meet new people. Thank you Pete for putting things together and for the t shirts.

Saturday was definitely an interesting day for me, nothing like waking up hungover to see your boat underwater. Thanks Chris for the shots of tequila at 1030 in the morning well we bailed out the boat and got it floating again.... We then proceeded to light the motor on fire while flushing The water out of it. Now I know why you have an extinguisher on board. At this point I realized also that my mid was cracked all the way through I guess boating was not in the cards for me. Thank you for everyone who came down to the launch and helped me get the motor running again, Jim, superbender, alby, Glenn, even gogats had serious helpful advice.

Jon and Debbie thank you for taking my family for a cruise on the party toon! We very much enjoyed it!

It all worked out! For the dam run I got to get thrashed around in my brothers 17ft hydrostream in some pretty snotty water, I guess he water to see if we could sink another boat this weekend. Nick summed it up best when he said my brother and him can split the Darwin Award for going out in that ****. Great time and cannot wait for next year!

Okay, Pilgrims , here's the Scoop!! If I don't get the Darwin Award for abusing my 32 year old Stoker today I'll need to get Bender's legal counsel!! I've driven in all kinds of water, but never anything like today's!Alan would probably come and take it away from me for such abuse! One hell of a boat, no Progression, Velocity, Superboat, etc. but did the deed!! Outasite, you are the man!! Your 'stream looks like a museum piece/perfect, and it runs like a raped ape, and you run it! Great to see Richie , stvvgar, TomD, original ROMPERS, as well as Bret Freitag after 9 years, what a change from an 11 year old kid scarcially seeing over the dash of his Dad's STV to running his own STV ! He definitely paid attention cuz he has his dad's driving skills! And finally to the James gang, Cutwater [The World's most creative photographer], Bender, Tres, Geiger, Greg [the Crippled], Pete, Rocky, Alby, Jon, Ryan, Rochester Greg, Revman, Phil Seignor, JamesCole[ Canadian Talon Trio that know how to wheel],Perso, DeSanti,SpongeBob, Eddie, Josh, Sonic all the way from Illinois[ second time, some guys never learn], and anyone else I might have missed, oh, ****, Rossi and electricjohn, always happy to share your company for some Raindack memories! Hope you'll all return and stay safe!
Nick

My ROMP 2016 photos are now online here: http://www.screamandfly.com/showthre...29#post2865129

maybe Jimmie will post the pics of Ron's [damned senior moment, should know the difference between Ron and Russ!] DeSilva , alky running runabout! And someone should take in the wonder of his collection, 2 Model A fords, Lauterbach Hydro, Sid crafts, Speedliner Merc55H, 30H, many 20H's, Neptunes, vintage Johnson, Evinrude, Arctic Cat snowmobiles, oh,and BTW, they [his son and he] don't just restore them, they run them! A step back in time with amazement of the woodworking skill and patience restoring these priceless gems! Did I mention he picked me up in a mid 60's Pontiac LeMans convertible!
Gotta be one of the best ROMPS ever!!

So #1 thanks to all you guys for coming and making this place great #2 thanks Kent for a great time and c (like how i go #1-#2-c) to sonic for stealing all my good parts and stiffing Pete on his 20% commission :rolleyes:

Awesome pictures Kent, as usual. With all that equipment you have too bad it doesn't do selfies. Nothing of your Shadow.

Dam Nick it sounds like you packed two Romps into one weekend. You have any pictures of your buddys museum you visited?

It's not over Ben,Greg and Gieco left the pub and were going to Lakeside after demoing the Yamaha jet boats!
