    Hull GRAPHICS

    I'm not sure of a specific website but Mac the Knife in Glens Falls is really creative and I'm sure you could work with him to come up with something that stands out.

    I live just north of Albany and these pictures were taken on Lake George.

    The time has come...

    Thanks Sam, with the windshield the corners had that odd fogging appearance so instead of replacing it I just did the white vinyl wrap on it so it can be clear again if I choose. I wanted the sport fairing but when I called Checkmate for a price I almost fell out of my chair. Now that winter is...

    The time has come...

    It's been 1 year now since I purchased this boat and after a lot of work (more than I thought needed initially) its taking shape. I could write a story on what's been done so far but in short the first line of business was ditching the 383 and in its place I dropped in a 502 MPI, second was the...

    98 242 24foot convincer

    +1 on what Corey said. I have a 253 Covincor and did some prop testing and by far the Bravo props are much better on this hull. On mine l run a Bravo 24p and l've also used a 25p Mirage Plus. While the Mirage Plus 1 - 2 mph faster the cavitation was more than l wanted to deal with in the turns...

    Great Sacandaga Lake

    Yes but mostly on Facebook or business's websites. There is an event July 30th at the Northampton Marina called "Shipwreck 2016" which people boat to and they have a live band etc... You already missed a few of the events like the Fun Run, the Dam Tie Up, fireworks over the water at Sport...

    Convincor LS Swap Project Thread

    I'm sure the pics show no justice for all the hard work he put into it. I wish I lived closer as I'm sure it's a sight to see in person with out a doubt.

    Great Sacandaga Lake

    The only thing that happens as a "event" on Sand Island is the End of Summer Bash the weekend after Labor Day. Other events happen regularly throughout the season on other parts of the lake.

    Great Sacandaga Lake

    FYI- Any nice weekend there are a lot of people out on Sand Island also on the sandbar in front of the Northampton campground and Mosquito Bay just past the campground.

    Visiting Great Sagandaga Lake soon

    I launch every weekend at the State Launch. If your heading south on the lake you will see a couple islands just past the Northampton campground. Don't go through them as the water can get down to 2 feet and there are boulders in there as well. You will see the danger markers. If you have any...
