Connecticut River at Portland Riverside Marina
Boat Info
1988 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer
Engines
7.4l inboards
With all this rain, the CT River will be at major flood stage on Thursday. Now the question is will the raising water float the boat off the jack stands? Only time will tell. Plug is in and rope tied off to some pilings on land.
 
I hope not for your sake !! Would be an interesting insurance claim to say the least. A picture of two of this would indeed be interesting. Good luck.
 
I am just down the river from you at Petzolds. Went to check on her yesterday and I am in good shape. The river is up as high as I have ever seen it. Few weeks before I will be in with all of the crap that is heading toward the sound. They said the crest is going to be tomorrow. Hope you will be okay.
 
It looks like I do not have to worry about floating the boat. They have dropped the crest from just under 16 feet to about 13 feet. I am safe. Also it looks like I will be able to work on the boat for the next 3 days with wonderful sunshine and temps
