2012 Barnegat Bay Raft Up

[RidgeRunner]

I am all for a raft-up. Anytime, anywhere logistics allow.

I watched a couple dock up at the marina behind the Pilot House resturaunt in Key Largo in a 30' Whaler with twin Verados. He was from Jersey. He knew all about Tices. He piloted the boat down from Jersey which I thougt was cool. Then I ran into the same couple the next day at Doc's Place, small world. I never got his name but his boat said he was from Brielle, NJ.

Hey George...sorry I missed ya on the shoal this year...

Brielle MUST be affluent...the guy just rode a 30' Whaler down Vic's way...$$$

I work in Point Pleasant Beach which is right across the river from Brielle. It's too bad you didn't get their name I probably have worked on that boat.

They had a dog but it wasn't a lab. LOL. Reddish Brown, medium sized long haired dog, might have been a setter. Medium build on the man with dark wavy hair in his mid to late 40's. First mate had light brown hair in her late 30's early 40's. Boat was a 30' Whaler full cabin. I suck with names.. I am sure the boat had a name too. Suncatcher? maybe..

i'd be willing to bet the $3.62 in my pocket its a McCarthys whaler still under warranty with them. are you a merc tech too?[/QUOTE]


Merc certified for the past 10 years or so. I have worked on a few 305 conquest Whalers. I don't remember the names very well either.

Thats cause they have to!! You need 3 motors when you own a Merc, one to go out, 1 to come in, and one just incase!!

Could not resist!!
