The Thunderrun is on. And I offered to help Pat with some of the details for the thunderrun. It is open to all Active Thunder boat owners. I am looking for some preliminary info on who is definetly attending and how many people and how many rooms you need. For those of you who did not see the post, it is set for Friday the 11 of October depature from Miami with a return date of Sunday the 13 of October. I can assure you it is going to be one hell of a good time.

Dan,
Are you going to be trailering back and forth just for the event or are you leaving the boat in Florida for the winter. It seems to be a bunch of moving to be showing up with a 25. My buget has just be tweaked a touch as you well know.
Let me know what the plans are and Ill mention if to Christine. She is wacky enough to think it a great idea...Ill just bring her a helmet incase it rains

Chris,

I am planing on trailering it back and forth as of right now. I really do not have any plans to leave it in Florida. I am sure that if you are going to go we could drive out together. I think it is about a 20 hour ride. I will leave on Tues or Wend sometime and plan on being back no later than Wend the following week. The only thing that may change is I may bring the boat early leave it there with my tow rig and fly back home and then fly with the wife back down and tow it back. Still have not deceided yet. Chit with Spirt airlines I can catch a flight round trip for 125.00.

Oh and you gotta come for the run it is going to be a great time. Imagine the photos of all the boats running....wooops slipped out, sorry Pat....

Dan,
Depends on when our boat "Monsoon" is completed. I hope it is completed before the run, but to far out to tell. It should be starting this week. I already hinted to Pat for awards for newest boat and furthest travelled. I figure we should atleast be in the running.

Tbikini and I will be there. We plan on trailering in and out. Those of you also trailering your boat coming from Michigan, Illinios or Indiana, we need to hook up In Nashville or Chattanooga and travel down together. Imagine that rolling down the highway. I think this would potentially include Jafo, ActiveThunderTodd (ConsinTracy), Jesse James, ???????, etc.

We will have one other couple with us. (Pat, these are potential buyers, so our boat needs to be absolutly perfect)

We looked on Travelocity last week and rooms over this weekend at the Westin were $119.00 (Consintracy's suggestion).

The only down side here is this is during Huricane season (and I do not mean the football team)

I would not worry about any hurricanes, maybe a thunderstorm or a monsoon, but no huricanes....

Tracy and I were down there that same weekend last year and I was down for the Columbas Day regatta the year before. The weather both years was perfect. Water was perfect and the trip was perfect. We went down with Pat and Diane for the weekend last year. Tracy and I are talking about heading down early to get a few extra days in Key Largo. We would probably drive back up to Miami to meet everyone on the Fri so we could motor down with you all.

If you all want to see what the Columbas Day regatta is all about you can check out my website

We'll most likely leave on the Mon before and take 2 days getting to Miami. Splash the boat on Wed and head right down to the Westin at Key Largo. Then meet the rest of you back up in Miami on Fri morning, maybe.

Should be a great time.

Todd

My wife and I have been talking about and may be in. From where we live we would run through Chattanooga and love to hoock up with a convoy of AT's.

How many other 25's are going to be there? Ive done the trip from North Miami to Islandmirada in a 29 Outlaw which was nice. If the conditions turn up though Christine would beet my ass.
As you know our trip back from AC was pretty brutal...she just kept looking at me and saying "waste him NOW! so we can stop this pounding". She is exstremely tolerant and loves the boat but I would be really imbarrassed if all 110 pounds of her kicked my ass in front of you guy's
