@Peggy L where do you go out of? I want to do some south shore boating this summer!!

@DJMattyT Launch at Heckscher or Captree state parks. Buy the Empire pass for a year of launching at either place. Both facilities have washdown areas so you can flush your motors before packing up for the trip home.

These are not ocean boats, or even rough lake boats. Very uncomfortable. I have taken mine into the Atlantic. Not fun at all. If you will be spending time in anything over 2 feet swells you will not have a fun time. If the LonG Island sound is generally calm, you will be fine. YOu can't beat these boats for the maintenance, or actually, lack of maintenance.

I guess we picked a good day to go for our demo! We were in the Atlantic LOOKING for waves and didn't find any, lol! Go figure!

We boat out of Lindenhurst (Suffolk) but live in Nassau County. We have been to many places over the years. We LOVE Hemlock Cove, (dropping anchor and swimming there and having lunch)--don't dock near the entrance. You get the wakes from the boats in the state boat channel! Love Fire Island, but haven't been there in years. Also, Zachs Bay near Jones Beach Theater. Maybe we can get a bunch of boats and hang out on the south shore? Would LOVE to venture to the north shore. We went once a few years back on a friends' boat but it was VERY VERY rough and he liked to go too fast!
