Anyone want Pokerface..
 

Been for sale here for a while now.
http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Baja+Boat...1950/?ms=boats
I just wonder what kind of shape it is in??

At that price it's going to be for sale for a LONG time!

that is Canadian money and any given day that could be cheaper in American money

It list 2 x 525's I thought it used to have 700's?

Poker face always had 525's.

Lucky 7's had 700's

Also, Split Decision had 700's

Pokerface always had an awesome sound with those 525s.

Its a shame the poker run tour doesnt exist anymore. It really put Bajas name out there, gave my buddy a cool summer job, and kept Kustom Kolors on their toes. I know Clayton misses those phone calls from Barbara! :eek:

I wonder what condition that thing is in as well...they stopped at the Chicago Poker Run in 07 during the Poker Run Tour...I've got pics of that thing 5 feet out of the water...

YEP !:drink:

That's what I was wondering.It's had the piss run out of it.

I would assume it was treated like a "floating rental car" LOL!

Sommers, sent you p/m last week not sure if you received.

That was some run in 2007 !! ........... Edit was 2006 run.

I don't know if it is true or not but apparently after that run, Pokerface sustained a bit of damage and it had to go back to the factory for repair. I also understand before it became Pokerface, the top deck had to be replaced because of severe cracking. Others on here will know better then I thought....

i also heard after that picture was taken almost everyone on board got off and never got back on LOL still a cool looking boat

I think older Cig cracked and had to rush back to launch ramp otherwise bloop bloop bloop. Rough day for all the brave that ran.

was this boat made before the song came out?....

yes it is from 2006 or 07 i think

has a hydrohoist thank god !!!!

Fun fact: That Poker Face doesnt exist anymore, it was cut up and replaced. Thats right, the one in the ad is the replacement.

I didn't know that. Was the original damaged beyond repair because of that run or was it another reason....change in the liner manufacturing for example??
Also was the second one exactly the same as the first?? i would assume that they just transfered parts from one to the other right?
How many Pokerface boats were produced??

Yeah I heard that the liner was damaged so bad after the Chicago run that they made another boat. I also heard that Reggie said that was the worst water he had ever been in.

Yes, 2006. Lucky 7's in 2007.

If I recall 5 left Chicago and only 3 came back in the boat the other two cabbed it back from Michigan. I was a very rough day out there. But it was a fun one.:eek:

Now that is some SERIOUS air time! Thanks for pic! Its now the wallpaper on my PC and my phone!

Running smoke on the water poker run

I was a spectator at the '06 Lake Michigan poker run at a card stop on White Lake. The water was so rough that only a fraction of the boats ran and Poker Face was one of them. It's my understanding that the original was a one off carbon fiber boat. I wonder if this "replacement" is made of carbon fiber. It also had an awesome tow rig and it seems to me that the trailer was flashier than the one being sold. C'mon, Poker Face was something special; You can't just slap that name on any Baja.....

your cornfuzed
the girls in Ricks Ciggy got shaken & cabbed it back to the party from Mich

Thanks for posting that, havent watched in awhile.

Thats Dave driving (XT-Innovator), Jason Billmeyer from Hawkeye that did the 2 poker run tours, Adam (WOTW2E), Jasons girlfriend and me. NOT a good day for a hangover!:eek:

That boat won every award it was entered in that year! Still my favorite, and thats why it's in my avatar.

Less that half the boats that entered the poker run ran the "after lunch" run to the north. It was so rough that I think the Ilmor boat did a submarine stunt that afternoon. The poker face still shots were the best ones on display during the awards dinner.

Well now you know where it is, chew the dealer down..way down, and get it back!! You will have to know how to speak French though!!

Kidding aside, what kinda shape do you think the "replacement" is in?? Is it one to stay away from IYO??

The replacement never went on tour and was built towards the end of Baja in Bucyrus.

Here's a video I just stumbled upon showing the sides.

The original rig:

I know one of the guys on Poker face that day and they did not come back on that boat from Michigan City that I remember. They might not of cabbed it but they did not take that boat back(from what I remember, I could be wrong.). The one guy's nuckles were bleeding from the morning run. He was standing in the middle.

I have no idea what shape the #2 boat is in. I know the original is now a coffee table. TEAMBAJA might have pic's of that?

Notice the #2 boat had deck hatches installed that I thought ruined the graphics.

We rode in the original one at the Ski Dock run right after it was painted. It hauled ass got my buddy to order a 35 with 700s after Blane took us for a spin.

Every time I ran my boat like that last summer off Boynton it came back with one drive either stuck in forward or a drive not working at all. :lolhit:

sounds like a drive issue (mercury), not a boat manufacturer issue

Sounds like you have the same problem I have:party-smiley-004:

I could live w this set up
