this yankee gathering will be the weekend after labor day and is a laid back day grilling up some food and enjoying the boats, catch a ride in a model you might want to by or find out info on your boat
it is held out on speaker hecht island on the southern part of the lake just south of long island lake george is beautiful and every sunshine boy and girl that goes up there always comes back ;)
Matty, what time do people congregate on the island for the picnic?
Kirby usually around mid morning to ferry stuff out there or you can swing by treasure cove and hook up with everyone there
I'll be driving up very early Saturday. Hoping for good weather. Matty, do you still have the 19" Solas?
Jay
yes I am trying to get a second fin bolt washer thingy together so you can run the 19 with the fin and I can run your 21, just in for the day?? or are you staying over night
TC is full. However have found a room at Maison d'Kirby (THANKS!), so likely will be around some portion of Sunday too.
Boat is at Performance so will probably put in there but can swing by TC Saturday before 10am for a prop swap if that works. Let's touch base middle next week.

Jay,
ok remember in order to try my fin you need to drill out the hole for the bolt well atleast on a 250-270 we did so I will bring a drill so we might need to start earlier we'll talk mid week
We are heading out this weekend for a month long canal journey in the Sea Ray. Heading down the Hudson River to the Erie Canal then west towards Lake Ontario. Full tanks and no schedule. The picnic is always a great time and I hate to miss it. But...
Hope everybody has a blast!
Frank
I've got an old mule, her name is Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
She's a good old worker and a good old pal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
Scott and Matty hosted another great fall picnic. The weather held out great on Saturday. Swapped rides in lots of sweet boats. And I have to admit that was the first time I've been 80 mph on Lake George.
Thanks Scott and Matty
just got home safe and sound hope all had a great weekend and a safe return home.
a big thanks to Scott and Sheri it was another one for the books.
weather was warm and sunny altho it did look a little iffy early in the day
a great big thanks to ken and laura collett and their generosity with the rides on the 38zr Miami vice boat it was a hit they truly are great Donzi people and the boat is awesome
I'll do a recap later here are a few pics
if you missed this one what were you thinking?????
Made it home safe too - awesome picnic. Scott et al......thanks for all the hard work. It is greatly appreciated.
My favorite part was ferrying all the picnic supplies to the island in Donzis....like using a thimble to fill a bath tub! Donzis aren't great work boats! Next year let's bribe one of the pontoon boat guys w/ a ride in the 38, we'll have everything out in one trip!
JL
Hey, any excuse to burn gas in a Donzi works just fine!Quote:

well it was a great weekend as usual up on the queen of american lakes
it started alittle rough for me as i got stuck at work with an emergency and we didn't hit the road til 5pm but hit no traffic and made it to treasure cove in time to see the utter and total destruction occuring on don's deck seems everyone was infected with jungle juice and they need to have jaeger bombs to clear the infection .
bob was the DD and I was amazed that he got Jim , now get the hornet finished ;)
the common pego pego interpertation of " parking for room number 7 only"
is go ahead park here pearson won't mind at all
the D.E.C. is looking for a red boat with lead based chinese red number 5 paint
I'll trade you a 19 for a 21 and my shadow secret de-coder ring glad the prop worked better for you jay, you weren't getting the 21 back ;)
good to see the old friends and meet some new ones
thanks to everyone who supported the club thru the 50/50 and the auction
I'll give you one guess who won the 50/50 ?????
bob loves to run his boat
ken and laura are great people and love to give rides
under the pucker factor" mattyboy taking the port side fuel cap of the miami vice boat and the owner saying watch out the chain is busted, ok so how deep is it here?? no thanks Ken you can put it back in I am not going to push my luck getting it out without swimming let's just call it a day ;)
the food as usual was great from the shish ka bobs to the chicken to the staek and terriaki bacon cheddar burgers
only one of the 5 critters came back ?? was great to see Geri and Brendan and when they say they have a connection with a butcher they mean it
those porterhouses were the ones that tipped of fred flintstone's car thanks guys :)
man pearson why you so grumpy??? I am not ****ing grumpy you son of a ***** so stop calling me ****ing grumpy :)
glad to see david back running the st tropez
four 67 classics there an ob baby 16 a blackhawk the 38 zr, brian in a new blue 22 a couple of yellow 22's a few red 22's a couple of orange 18's a yellow 18 a blue minx and a pair of formulas
more to come with pics of course
Can't wait for the photo's Matty. Sorry I never really got a chance to chat much with you Matty. As usual I never pulled out the camera. Getting a ride in the 38 zr was great, but I gotta say my biggest thrill came when I went to go for a ride with Brian in that sweet blue 600 hp 22 and he tossed me the keys.
after seeing the 38zr fuel up i will never ever complain about the cost of fuel in the 16
here are a few more pics
here are a few on how a 38zr is hard on your hair notice jamie started with her hair up and look what happened
How fast is the 38zr?
Did you go full speed?
Don't notice lake wake in that boat?
I believe Ken said w/ the mufflers on for Lake George it would go a little over 80. W/out mufflers he has gone 90.
On the ride I went on, we went 80 at about 5k rpms if I remember. Lake chop? What Lake chop? Never felt any, but it was a relatively calm day, just some random power boat chop which the ZR didn't notice.
we hit 85 very low on fuel rode thru some big wakes and it absolutely crushed them even made a quick course adjustment at speed and it handled like it was on rails a truely awesome boat rode even better when he topped off both tanks:shock:
Holy crap, when did J grow up?? Is she still the go-kart queen?? :) :)
no she wants the keys to the car now :roll:
