Hudson River Fun Run Dates April 25 or May 2nd

[Big Time]

I'd love to come down and do the run with you guys but I have a steel trailer. Really don't want to drop it in the salt. Any ideas?

Is it painted? I feel your pain about the salt and steel trailers, but what if you gave it a good few dunks in the Lake when you got back home? Should be thawed out by then

Ken the further north u launch the better it is. Early in the season the salt levels are lower because they open the dams up north to help flush things out. Where I launch in Peekskill it can get as high 50% salt water latter in the season.

If u are heading down with Chuck I would recommend Cannon Ball yacht club in Stony Point. http://www.stonypointbaymarina.com they have 2 travel lifts for your boat and a wide enough ramp for Chuck’s boat. There is a 36 specter that launches there every weekend. Hoses are available to wash off your boats as well. More than likely that’s were our crew will be that morning. There will be plenty of people to lend a hand. It’s about 20 -30 minutes from exit 16 off of 87, it’s not a bad tow off the highway. Chuck just needs to take the back way in, His boat wont fit under the bridge just before the marina.

good spot..

I would try and find a ramp in the Newburgh - Beacon area than run boat down the Hudson. That area is right off I84 and it would be alot easyer that trying to drive down in the Westchester area with a big trailer.
U guys coming from the west there is a nice ramp in Nyack NY, so you wouldn't have to cross Tappen Zee Bridge. But I don't know if it is for residents only ?

I found a launch in Newberg on Front st and Washington Ave. Looks like a public launch with a Marina next door. I wonder how safe it is.

Does any of you guys know about this place?
Found it on Google Earth

I don't think Chucks bringing his boat. He said it will still be in storage.
He is more than welcome to ride with us but 75ish may be a little slow for his liking.:26:

Ken, I was the same way about dunking my trailer. Give it a good dunk on the way home and you will never know it was in there. Your trucks ok after the winter, right? I did dunk the Spectre at Gullies and everything was fine. Thanks for the offer for a ride, but I was given the opportunity to drive the reborn Drambuie MTI with GL. I can't wait!!!

 

[Charlie@Mahopac]

the water at peekskill is really brackish almost fresh ! I have lots of customers that get 10 years out of trailers from the river and they rarely flush them.I wouldnt be concerned guys.besides we sell trailers:26:
see everybody soon CHARLIE

This it

Thats it

Ken the Gullies ramp is fine but parking for a long trailer and a big truck is tough and the river current can throw u off if your not use to it. . There will probably be a bunch of fishing boats parked there that weekend (striper season). It’s much better to join us at Stony Point IMO. Stony Point is only 5 minutes from half moon bay, gullies is about 30 minutes north.
