Yep...It starts getting nice from about Portland on up.......thousands ands thousands of miles of shoreline in Maine alone..then the Bay of Fundy, out around Nova Scotia then on up around Cape Breton...Newfoundland...take a stout boat and a long time to sea it all.

See if I can get another pic to load.......View attachment 318830


I can see you're in a protected area, bet when you get out from the breaks it can get real hairy!
 
Pretty, pretty country,

I am a bit of a land lubber, them seas look a bit harsh fer a 20 footer, I would be ascared in a 40 footer!

Ever see any Formula boats out there?

Not sure what a Formula boat is...got any pics?...I was born on an island...sea can be very unforgiving....but just have to know your boat and what it will do...or won't do.......this is the boat I used for yrs and still do when needed or i'm traveling light...10 mile run out to my camp from the last island you can drive to...

They are made just a few miles from my home.

Hmm not sure why the post didn't come through with the outboard pic.......Anyway...not sure what a Formula boat is...got any pics? I was born and lived on this island so the sea is not that scary to me...just gotta know when to go...when not to go... what your boat will do...or not do!! The outboard is the boat I used to get out to the camp for 12 yrs before I got the Seaway....10 mile run over water from the last island out that you can drive to....
 
Bad water conditions ??

I have to go in and out the merrimac river quite oftenmcan get hairs.
Newspaper acrticle after a 23 ft boat swamped this summer.


the river mouth.
The river’s mouth has the notorious reputation as being one of the most dangerous river entrances on the East Coast. That is one of the main reasons why Newburyport’s Coast Guard station is a surf station, a unit that is specially trained to handle the most rigorous surf rescue conditions.
Surf stations are fairly rare along the East Coast. There are only six of them, the next closest being Chatham and after that, Barnegat Inlet, N.J. They are required wherever the surf reaches heights of greater than 8 feet at least 36 days per year. Those conditions exist at the mouth of the Merrimack.
 

They make stuff up to 45 foot, I be more of a speed freak though.

I saw a sign on a old mans boathouse up in Northern Michigan years ago. It was something like"If God wanted boats made from fiberglass, he would have made fiberglass trees"

I don't think any amount of Imron can hold a candle to real wood.

Here's one of their models that caught my eye,

Decided need to do a lil more polishing in the ports of the 372

Prolly new rings while it's apart
 
One more pic...then I gotta get out and wire in the new tach and get that Seaway in the water this morning for the sea trials I didn't get to yesterday....found a failed trim solenoid on my new trim pump (25 hrs on it) had to run to Ellsworth for a new one..put me behind the tide...very calm here this morning so I gotta get about it!!

This is just another beautiful fall day on the "Rockbound Coast of Maine".......1443.JPG

Ahh gotcha....see a few of those around....but not a lot on the ocean around here....general conditions won't let you use the power/speed. Wooden boats are very nice and always ride better than plastic......but the upkeep is very expensive and time consuming....I don't do much pleasure boating.....mine is used more like a pickup truck on the water....or commuter ...so plastic fits my choice and budget .....
