Many of you guys might i have read on what i'm planning to do. If you have been to the Cigarette form you probably realize there is thread call " Cigarette FR". There has been talk for a little while about having an all Cigarette PR. So i decided to try to make it happen. But as the thread grew i started getting PM's from friends of mine and others that own other brands asking if they can join.....i can't say NO..So this is going to be a PR for everyone that wants to join..It will be held the weekend of Jan 20th from Miami to Holiday isle...As of right now we would all meet up at Haulover Marina ( not 100 % yet ) in the morning of Jan 20 and run down to Gilberts for lunch and then off to the world famous Tikki bar......There will be a purse and awards as well......
..i was thinking of doing this just to put some pocket change in your pockets so that people don't just drive all the way over here ( TX, MO, NJ and so on) and not take home any prize ( besides taking home good memories and good laughs )....I'm not doing this to make money out of it ( most of you guys know who i am personally and know what go fast boats and parting mean to me i'm not making one penny )...i'm doing it just to have good times and still be able to boat in the winter time in the Paradise state of fl...my intentions are not like other organizations that will ask for $800 entrance fee and only give like 10% of that to the purse. i was thinking of 150$ entrance fee and ALL that money will go towards the purse for the owner of the boat ; not the passengers ( unless passenger also pay an entrance fee)....The prize money will be given on sat ( of the weekend we decide) night at the tikki bar....it will be picked from raffle tickets which i will personally open in from of everyone there, so that no one thinks i'm in favor of anyone......there would be a 1st,2nd and 3rd cash money prizes along with three REAL nice trophies (whatever other goodies i can get from sponsors if i do get any of course) all this depends on how many people attend........
I will also take care of making reservation for the hotel and the slips ( of course everyone pays there own...you guys would pay me which ever way you guys want and i'll pay the hotel ) I'm going this weekend to the keys to find out what group discount we can get for both the hotel and the slips....

What do you guys think ?[I]

Jupiter Sunsation

That is cool you are opening it up to all brands.

Now that being said, I am bringing a Sunsation but even though I love the boat don't subscribe to the thought that it is the brand to beat like some other owners!

Update :

Just got back from the Keys yesterday to go to the places where we will be going on the PR/FR....I stopped at Gilbert's ( Fri lunch stop ) and they will have a lunch buffet ready for us for when we get there.....The price for that is $ 20 per person and we can go ahead and pay that when we get there

I made the reservations for us at the Holiday isle...So far we have 10 rooms reserved in the upstairs part of the Marina and those are $ 185 + tax a night, and 10 rooms ocean front for $ 250 + tax a night.....
I did reservation for the slips..So far I reserved 18 slips..The price for the slips is $ 2.50 a foot and that includes both water and shore power.....
Sat night from 7 PM-9 PM we will have dinner at the Holiday isle in the " Horizon " restaurant which is on the Top floor of the main tower. Also here we will do the raffle for the purse and prizes. The price is $ 100
The buffet menu includes ........
