Cool find Destroyer. Had a project boat with a Force 85, really plain and easy to work on/see everything under the cowling.

I'll pretty much launch from anyplace Willy, Keyport, Leonardo or Atlantic Highlands... but my slip of choice is in Laurel Hill Park in Secaucus. Free ramp, gentle slope, in great shape with nice parking. Launch into the Hackensack River. 22 mile run downstream to under the Verrazano Narrows bridge. No tolls, no fighting with weekend traffic. Brings you out on the NY side of Sandy Hook.... and the ride back home is like an extended semi-fresh water flush of the engine. I say semi since it is tidal waters, but by the time you get back to the dock upstream it's pure sweet water.

Nice.......me I go with a ramp up the Delaware River where I know its the freshest water I can find.

It's just a 120 mile run down from Philadelphia, then 60 miles to Cape May, then 100 miles up to Sandy Hook...well worth it for the free ramp / free parking.

Yep.... Right by the PSE&G power plant, and another a little upstream of that. Also some good Striper fishing by the Rt 3 bridge just upstream of where I launch.
