I think Sully Sullenberger had his twin jet out on the Hudson but it was bigger than 24 feet. ;)
 
I'm contemplating bringing my 23 ft Yamaha up there this summer...
 
I just noticed this. I have done it twice with my 21'. I had no issues. There are some large boats (Circle Line, Statten Island Ferry, etc) that kick up a pretty big wake around the statue and on the southern East River. I just paid close attention and was fine. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
