Friends of Watch Hill sent out their flier today for Columbus Day Weekend. We are reserved into slip D25. If there are any other FOWH members who are going, please stop by for an adult beverage.
Too busy to take off for the Northeast Flotilla but thinking of going to Red Bank for the weekend.
Anyone have any recommendations? Molly Pitcher or Irwins?
Thanks
Mark
I have a 2005 290 Amberjack. An unfortunate mishap involving the mirror falling off in rough seas caused a chip in the vanity inside the head. The gel coat is more of a cream or bone color rather than the arctic white of the hull.
Does anyone know what color it is?
Thanks

This is my second season with the boat. Last year the unit would lose the bottom when I came up on plane and re-aquire it when I slowed down. I replaced the transducer over the winter and it is installed in the right place. I know it is in the water on plane.
My next try is to update the C80...
OK. I see where I can easily find the gelcoat repair paste for my Amberjack which is Lily Arctic White and I have the correct part number.
Question is, where can I find marine paint to match the color? My aluminum trim around the storage hatches in the cockpit is peeling in places.
Thanks

FOWH recently sent out reminders for membership renewal. If you forgot or did not get it please re-up.
If you are not a member, please consider joining. First, the Friends does a great deal of good work in upgrading and maintaining the facility. This includes the all important mosquito traps...
For Long Islanders who like to fish, the Fluke tournament to benefit the MS Society "Fishing for a Cure" will be held on July 27, 2013. This is the second year for this tournament to benefit a worthy cause. The tournament will have weigh stations convenient to Debs, Jones and Fire Island...
I need to replace the dash mounted 215 I currently have. RM is less than helpful with which model is the closest to a drop-in replacement.
Anyone have any thoughts on a vhf model that will not require more cutting or a big starboard template?
thanks

Before I buy one of those aircraft carrier sized dock boxes, anyone have any creative rod storage solutions on a 290 Amberjack? The mid-berth is only about 5.5 ft wide.
Thanks
Mark
Greetings all.
Finally completed the deal to downsize to a 29' Amberjack. We will be boating out of Freeport, NY and expect to spend more time at Watch Hill and exploring the south shore with this boat.
Looking forward to this season.
