Default The Adventure Begins

So tomorrow mourning my buddy Jeff and I are going to Cape May NJ to pick up Senor Bertram and take her on a 120 mile journey up the coast of Jersey to her new home in Raritan Bay
Sort of a trial by fire for Senor Bertram and me, never handled a twin screw hull like this. Looking forward to it. Pics to follow.
Wish me luck.

120 miles is nothing, you should have been there for the 1400 mile one we did 7 years ago when my uncle bought a 43 TORRES in Boston and we brought it back to Florida. THAT was a trial by fire expedition.

good luck, call me if you have any issues, just remember, with twin inboards, it drives like a tractor does with the brakes, positioning to set up for a slip is like driving a train, you have to pull up, rotate, then back up. And there is no shame in tieing up on the tee head to wait for a favorable wind and tide to put it in the slip


oh, if you have seatow or towboat, check with Capt Pete to make sure there arn't any exclusions to worry about
