How Was The FPC Bahamas Poker Run 2007??
 

I was wondering how their Bahama trip and Poker Run went? I saw they might of had some bad weather, We are planing on making it next year.By the pictures from the Floridia Power Boat Club it looks like its a lot of fun.How was it guys ????:D :D

Strip,

I didn't make it this year due to mechanicals but ran it in 05 and 06. The trip is only an hour over in nice weather. 05 was to Bimini which is a couple miles less and it was Cadillac smooth going over and a little rough coming back. 06 was a RODNEY KING BEATING going over but not bad on the way back. This year was calling for seas 2 ft or less both ways. It is a killer trip and is definitely one to consider in the future. I have done all of the FPC runs except Emerald Coast and by far the Bahamas is my favorite destiination.

Last years fun:

From the picks Ive seen it looks like some pretty water , I"ve never been farther south than Destin Fl, I figure I am due to broaden my horizons and get out of Missippi alittle :rolleyes: .We were watching the weather alittle, saw some tropical storms farther out, figured they might of had some bad weather?I'm trying to get some feed back on how this trip/run is.Its pretty expensive compared to the others.


Rob:D

Not really, the run is $600, Bahamas entry is $150 (less than 35 ft/ $300 over 35 ft) and the hotels/food are about the same as any metro area vacation spot. Fuel is about $5-6 a gallon for the return trip. This run was cheaper for me in 05 than the Key West run that year.

I figured with 2 couples one boat 3000k per person.

No way, i think $2000 per couple would be still on the high side. KWPR was 3K for us in 05 and I think the Bahamas run was $1500. Both runs were only my wife and I. The KW run was $800-900 in fuel due to the 300 mile roundtrip, PR fee was $700 so those things made up 1/2 the cost of the run right there.

Thats sounds better, It going to be a fun trip, :ernaehrung004:



Did Anybody else go this year? How was it ????:D :D

Sandy and I are also thinking of doing it next year. We've been to KW 4 times now, and love it, (favorite PR) but would like to try something different. You guys are welcome to ride with us, or we can convoy down to together.:party-smiley-020: Jeff

Jeff lets plan on it!! I appreciate the offer.My buddy Kevin has a new 36Baja with 496's I figure that it would be more dependable than mine :D We figure just 2 couples per boat be easier.Eric & Wendy said they wanted to go but didnt want to take there Fountain.He might be a candidate?

I need to start working on getting a passport:eek:
