unsupported
Unsupported you ask-let's see if this helps.incredibly slow service for crappy food and warm beer.how about the "marina"-what a dump.the only thing fun about this poker run is seeing some old friends-the diarrhea and gouges from the docks I can surely do without.

the Four Horseman Poker Run is operated from the BoatYard bar and restaurant located on the Fox River in Oshkosh ,NOT the Pioneer Marina. The Marina is only used as a suggested launch site since it is nearby and is a nice launch for bigger boats.
The Pioneer Marina (not affiliated with the BoatYard) is in disrepair (and frequented therefore by your feathered friends), since the pioneer hotel was torn down years ago.
If you have gouges in your boat from the docks at the Boatyard, you do not know how to dock your vessel in a river, and/or you have useless mates on board. During a poker run, the BoatYard crew assist all boaters in docking if necessary.
As far as service or warm beer, sounds like the place is busy (as it would be on most weekends or certainly during a poker run). ...next time ask for a manager to voice your concerns or get you a colder
beer.

Only 7 spots left for the poker run! There will be some awesome boats running, including 2 Nor-Techs from Florida. Tons of good food, body painted ladies, bands, sky divers and fireworks are just a few of the spectacles for the weekend. Sign up now at LakeWinnebagoFourHorsemen.com. What are you waiting for??!!

Please be aware of your trash talk regarding Oshkosh Thunder
Did you even attend our event last year? Thunder gives you a screen printed t-shirt in a plastic bag with a box lunch. You get more than the bang for your buck with the Horsemen. If you did attend and were disappointed, I am curious as to what you thought was not up to par. If you did not attend, I suggest you keep your unsupported comments to yourself.
On behaf of the Oshkosh Thunder commitee, who produced 16 Poker Runs on Lake Winnebago, and gave the Boat Yard A TON of busness, I ask that you don't trash talk the Poker Run that is the longest running in the Midwest and started it all in Oshkosh, including a 3 year offshore race (remember Shake the Lake ?). We wish you well with the 4 horseman, but also ask that you not be so quick to criticize an event that you never attended yourself. By the way the "screen printed t-shirts in a plastic bag" were actually shirts done by...oh yah - BoatYard. They wrere actually pretty nice Polo's. And the food "in a box" ? BoatYard again - I thought the dinner was pretty good myself. Oh that's right - you were not there...
We will be back...

Sometimes you need to wear the stripes you earned. I attended the last two poker runs hosted by Oshkosh Thunder and there still are no pictures. I could care less about the food, the pictures are more important as one can use them for bench or barstool racing.
Just saying.

Sorry you did not get any pics. Do you still have the 35 Fountain? If you could PM me on verification of your boat and color, I will see if I can find some pics. Thanks.
