I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a pair of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the ICW...and I mean "tearing up."

I was hopeful their running over an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but, alas, as far as I know, it didn't happen. Why do you find it necessary to be so assholish? Do you think that's endearing to someone? You write a paragraph like the above, assholish, and then add a paragraph like below. I suppose the paragraph below is to show that you're 'one of the guys'. But, when I read it I see 'bull****' written all over the last few sentences. This company: http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/ makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with seats and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these boats when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died a few years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like that. Straight over to Port Jeff. Bullahit.Sounds like another Cape Horn story. Did you get a fireboat welcome at Port Jeff? It's not my fault you spent your childhood shooting tree rats so you could have dinner at night. As for Port Jeff, it was about 12 miles max from our beach cottage. In that range, maybe a bit less. You could see where to go because there were large smokestacks just east of the harbor, and if you steered just a hair west of them, you'd end up in Port Jefferson. The harbor entrance was really small, so once you got over to long island, you'd have to search a bit. But, of course, you didn't do much boating as a kid. And I don't have to make up kid stories in the hopes of getting attention. Port Jeff from Milford was an easy trip on a decent day, not much farther than the western side of the eastern shore from Solomons. Of course, you wouldn't know that...you had to hunt squirrels for dinner. Something wrong with hunting squirrels for dinner? Apparently, with your having brought it up twice in a few hours, something about the idea bothers you. And, we ate a lot more rabbit than squirrel.

There were speaking engagements, celebrations and, no doubt, a lot of recovering." So a 26' boat with twin outboards holds the record. |

It's too pretty for hauling crab pots or oyster tonging in any case. It's nice but I would rather have this: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/622597157 My $45,000 bid didn't do it and I would have been surprised if it did! I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a pair of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the ICW...and I mean "tearing up." I'm sure you would have been among them, given the opportunity. Their persona non grata status was made official somehow as a result of excessive noise. I was hopeful their running over an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but, alas, as far as I know, it didn't happen. This company: http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/ makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with seats and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these boats when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died a few years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like that. Straight over to Port Jeff. Airboats have thick polymer on the hulls to protect them from branches and other debris. Some people run theirs on dry ground. When the polymer is worn, it's replaced. |

I am old and it has been a while but the guys in Everglades City were running regular aluminum hulls in the 80s-90s with big V-8s and a prop. 45 is still a fast boat tho. You don't really want to be going that fast if you are actually in the swamp running around tho. This isn't about speed, it is about getting anywhere you want to go. Some of the hard core guys had nitrous systems to get off that hump they were stuck on. |
