Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

And if anyone wants my 29, Ill tow that beotch behind the 36 and bring it down :D

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Jason,we will be there for sure.Most likely will be there around noon on friday.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I`ll be at Possum Kingdom that weekend, but won`t be in the Poker Run. I sold my Baja.....
I ran last year.

The first card stop is Willow Beach. That`s where my weekend place is. I`ll probably see you guys and wave from the dock !

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Scott, we will be heading down early friday as well. We will get checked in and then launch. We will have to meet up friday night for a pre-poker run party :drink:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I can help you with that problem, as i have 2
:D

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Jason,
We've got a few boats from Houston that I know for sure are coming up and there may be more. My crew and I are heading up Thursday morning to get an extra day out of it. We didn't make it last year either. I talked to Mike at Marine Max and said they had 32 boats last year and were expecting more this year. Should be a great time! :drink: Was that you at Travis this past Sunday? I think you were waiting to load up at the dam the same time we were. I have the 30 with blue and yellow graphics that says "No Cover" on the front.

Scott,
I'm bringing a special hula-hoop just for you buddy! :evilb:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

That was me out there on sunday. nice 30. what are you running for engines?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Thanks, the 36 looks good too! I'm running HO's, Bravo X's swinging stock 28's. The boat has a lot of extra weight though (shorepower, a/c, generator, 4 batteries, etc). Did your boat seem slower than normal this weekend or the past couple of weekends? I could barely get 73 on the gps. I think it's the heat but maybe it was just the different lake (we usually run on Conroe).

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I was the same way. I was only getting 73.5 with 1/2 tank and 4 people. I just labbed the props and was looking for 76-77ish.

Ive got all the heavy stuff too.

what were you running speedwise on conroe?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I`m a Sutphen owner now. Still like to check-in at the Baja forum though...

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Damn Jason, that's great for that big 36, are you running blue power?

On Conroe, I've been running a consistent 74 the past month or so with 1/2 tank and four people. Last April, I was hitting a consistent 76 with the same load. Some prop work is in my future, but my money is a little tight this month from our 4th of July Bahamas (Bimini) trip. Gas on the water there was $5/gallon! :eek:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Im running warmed up hp500's. they are around 560hp each. Those 36's take a ton of power to get moving.

Do you guys come to travis much?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Very nice on the blue power!

We've been to Travis about 5 times this season. Now that we can stay on the boat, it makes it a lot easier for us to make it out there. I'm sure we'll make it back a couple more times before the summer is over.

Where are the condos that you rented on PK? We're staying at the Cliffs Resort, I know Scott and several others are staying on the other side of the lake at Bass Hollow. Sounds like we need to have a meet-n-greet Friday afternoon/evening, although I'll be there on Thursday! :drink:

Thats where we are staying. We are leaving early friday morning and should be there in time to check in and be on the water that afternoon.

Im up for meeting up. Since its nomomoney and liquid assets turf, they need to buy the first round :evilb: :drink: :evilb:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Sounds good, is Liquid going to make this run. Did he get a new boat?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I bought the first round last year...I guess I can do it again..Jason the place you are staying is very close to us. :drink:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Scott - how far is The Cliffs from y'all? I might just need to switch my reservation to somewhere else.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

damn i didnt get in on the first round last time :( :drink:

Scott are there any spots to rent a slip around there? Id like to leave the boat in the water.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Busta,its about a 20 minute boat ride for me(ten for you)If you go by car then its another 45 minute drive.Its on the west side of the lake.Jason,there really isn't any place near you unless you can get one at sams dock.It is right across the street from were you are staying.If you have a PK map we are in the Fox Hollow slough at the north end of it.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

:D I'm probably not as fast as you think! :D

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Less than a month. Im ready. Havent been outside Lake Travis for a couple of years.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I hear ya! :evilb: We try to do one new lake a year so PK will take of that for us. Of course we did go to Ft. Lauderdale and Bimini but that wasn't a lake! :rolleyes:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

One REALLY BIG DAMN LAKE!!!!! :evilb: :D Glad to see you made it back! :drink:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

You in for the possum kingdom run david?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I haven't made any resevations yet, but we will probably stay at the Cliffs! What time were you planning on heading up on Friday? We will probably leave early Friday also. :drink:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I think we are leaving between 8-10. I think the cliffs are full. let me know if you want to meet up for the drive up.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Jason,
I just made my reservations today. They are not sold out of the Marine Max rooms yet! :drink: We will hopefully be leaving out about the same in the morning, but you know how that goes!! :D How many other boats are leaving with you?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

There are 4 of us so far driving down together. John Harrington is bringing the 25 outlaw. Big doug is bringing his new 36, I dont think shawn is coming, but ill call and raz him a little.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Whos got the number for the cliffs? Do they have slips?

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19

(888) 843-2543

They only have first come/first serve courtesy slips, you cannot reserve them for the weekend or anything like that. I talked to Mike at Marine Max and he said there are about 15 slips there and once they're full, they usually just raft up off the end. He said it's pretty far back in a no-wake zone so it's calm. He also mentioned that some people may just prefer to pull their boats out at night. I guess we'll just have to see.

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

For those of you that plan to attend the PK run but have not yet registered, Mike from Marine Max has asked that you register ASAP so that he can get a good headcount for t-shirts, food, etc. If you need registration forms, you can email Mike at: [email protected]

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I moved over to the cliffs. im ready to go.

The 36 was running bad last weekend. i still outran a 29 outlaw, but definately had a miss on the starboard engine. Found a spark plug wire that fell off in the bilge :rolleyes:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

I am gonna try to get my brother-in-law to come with his 232 Islander. I will be running around the lake and Hell`s Gate in my 30' Sutphen. It`s the ONLY Sutphen on the lake - you can`t miss me.
Scott, I`ll buy your beer, if we run into each other. . . :drink:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

It`s official :

I will be riding with my bro-in-law in his 232.

See ya`ll there !!!

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

Oh crap.....I think my wallet is gonna get lost just before that weekend....... :evilb:

Re: Check in For the Possom Kingdom Run August 19
 

We're going to leave Austin about 9am on Friday and would like to convoy with a group if y'all are leaving about the same time.
