Anyone from NJ on this site? How do you use your Whaler; fishing, cruising? Anyone interested in a Jersey Whaler Rendezvous summer of 2002?

I'm from LBI but now reside in FL. I might be able to make it but in a Hydra-Sports:). Tightpenny is from Barnegat area too and so might a few others. |

Hey Sixer, I gathered from your name you are from the Delaware valley. I’d be into something this summer. Mainly use my boat for Cruising around and exploring. I use her in the Delaware River and in Avalon & Sea Isle area. I live around 15 min from the Comm Barry BridgeBlackdog

My Montauk, the "MyssTerri" is currently under cover in South Seaside Park.I've been wondering if anyone ever had a rendezvous in NJ. The closest I ever had was the Whaler Owners Fishing Tournament that Pelican Harbor used to run when they were on Pelican Island. This was a great event. As you might gather, I mostly fish, but my wife just might be interested in some kind of cruise, provided that there were bathrooms available. |

My old Eastport is on a trailer in central NJ. I'll be working on it over the winter, hope to have it ready by spring. Dan |

I try to keep bugging Woody and Judy to run one again. So far, it has fallen on deaf ears. It was the only way I could get one of my buddies out of Warren County. |

I've done the same, was a lot of work for them and toward the end some folks started complainin' about stuff, so they called it. Some folks are never happy. I've thought of asking them to start a Whaler fishing club, maybe when I see them after they return from FL. |

They probably will be at the NY Boat Show at the Javits center, they were last January. I look forward to the show to ward off the winter doldrums. I'll bug them there.People complaining are a pain in the butt. If they don't like the way it was run, they should just opt out. |

Got a buddy in Old Bridge, NJ who's had a Montauk for quite some time. Anyone in that area should post and maybe I can hook you up. He has also a real nice place on Black Lake in upstate NY. I hear the Musk can be pretty awesome there! bones |

For those interested in a summer get rendezvous, how about some suggestions. So far we have the Chesapeak, the Delaware, and I suggest a trip up the Hudson, maybe West Point? |

Let me get this straight. You guys live in NJ and you want to rendezvous in one of the 3 surrounding states? Hey FL guys, wanna get together in Alabama or Georgia? |

Two out of three seem to be in the state.The Delaware forms the western border of the state, although the navigability of the northeren areas is not the best due to rocks and rapids. The Hudson forms the eastern border of the state with NY, and is navigable for quite a distance. The Chesapeake, well we can't have it all. |

Was just joking but you are correct. The Hudson where it touches Nj is way North and Delaware way south. The Hudson is NY in my opinion(and probably NY's). I thought he meant Delaware the state since they were talking about the Chesapeak. I have run the delaware a few times from Trenton south but I prefer Barnegat Bay....how about you Tight Penny:) |

To keep Bigshot pacified, let's add Barnegat Bay down to Great Bay, maybe a side trip to AC for our better halves. All within NJ boundaries.:) |

Western Passaic County 7+" my friend informed me at work. Hoboken pure hard rain, my apartment bathroom ceiling leaked nicely :( . As usual, only found regarding Whalers, reserve floatation was not part of the spec listing. Chap |

I use my 1971 17` in the Shark River and Sandy Hook bay. There are some great spots there that could be the starting point for a really cool trip up the Hudson. |

Pete, Good to hear from you. Your fix lasted through the rest of last season. Looks like it should last for the nest forever.Too bad that Whaler didn't build it right in the first place. I can't believe that I run the boat that rough as compared to other folk, or is it just that the water conditions I deal with are just worse. I bugged Woody again at Javits, and didn't get any satisfaction other than maybe. Hopefully he will make good on the maybe. |

the newer bow rails are one welded together railing which are more rigid than the older pieced together railings,I think this puts more stress on the mounting points.The 16'7 that I am restoring is not going to have a bow rail,and maybe not even side rails.Hopefully it will be done before the summer,I want to plan a trip down the ICW to Florida with it.I would also like to be a part of any local get togethers. |

The intercoastal waterway runs 100 miles from the Manasquan Inlet to Cape May. Lots of good stuff along the way. Easy riding for the smaller whalers. |
