Baja Poker Run Boats
 

Does anyone know where I can "find" or buy pictures on line of the Baja Poker Run Boats? Pokerface, Lucky 7's, Split Decesion. I have found a few on various web sites but the resolution is to low to make anything other than an 8 x 10. Need higher resolution so I can get a nice quality 11 x 14 print.
This will be for my office not resale.

PM jayboat, I would imagine he has pics of them all

I have hard time too, would like to find a nice one of "Split Decision" I really liked that boat.

I have them somewhere need to dig thru my files

I like this picture

I like the picture but I would not like the landing.

I have tthe pictures they are just not large enough files to be enlarge to 11 x 17, I did have one printed to 8 x 10 and its makes a nice picture but any larger and the quality is poor, I have a file of Split decesion but its not good for anything other than a screen saver. I did find one copy of Pokerface thta I think is large enough to make a large picture you could frame.

The Landing...Ouch!
 

The passengers were from the company that supplied the Pokerface tow rig, and were not seasoned powerboaters. They were not impressed with their ride that day.

XT who was driving it that day was it you or kevin ??

No, I had it the weekend before in Grandhaven MI. This was our Midwestern Sales Manager Jay Prestwood driving, along with Barbara from Baja Marketing.

the engine hatch in the first picture looks like its ready to open up

I always thought that was the best looking one Baja did, but I can't imagine how bad it rode as light as it is.

I have a High Res of that shot. I was on the run that day. I was able to do a 11x17 and I framed it. Looks great on the wall. Give me a day or to to locate where I have it and i'll send it to you.

That would be great!! send me a PM when you locate it and I will give you and e-mail address to send it to if its a .jpegfile.

I think it's a jpeg i'll get it in the next day or two.

I've got a couple High Resolution pics of Split Decisions

Really? I would love to see them!, They are for personal use, my email is [email protected]

Thanks!

Lucky 7's turned out to be my favorite boat of them all. I hated the initial drawings of it, but seeing it in person was a treat. Riding in it was a bigger treat & beingable to run it was better, even though the day we met up I didn't get the "win".

How quick did "Lucky 7's" run? Did you ever run beside it, would have been pretty cool to ride in one of the "factory" Baja Poker Run boats

One of my best memories (of many) was Poker Face at Bajas dealer meeting in Sanibel. Jason Billmeyer, who was doing the poker run tours was giving rides all day long. He pulls up to the dock and says take it, I need a break. His hearing was pretty much shot from giving rides all day.

Anyway, I took a group from overseas that didnt speak any english that I could make out. When I was getting up near top speed, I turned around to check on everyone........the smiles, the jibberish and the looks on their faces was priceless!:drink:

A pic of Poker Face, Lucky 7's and Split Decision would be a pretty sweet pic/desktop!

Someone who is skilled with "photoshop" could maybe make/post one???

2007 Dealer Meeting
 

Becker was out of control at the D meeting! Did a nice job on Billy's leg :eek:

I test drove the 405 and had to bail out of the drivers seat getting it out of the marina, like my second time driving twins. :eek:

That was one heck of a trip! :drink:

emisler (Ray) knows where to get them...touch base with him on TBM.

I ran against it in the fall of 2007 at Lake Conroe in Texas, near Houston. I had a poor tune on at that time & wasn't dialed in like it is now, but Billy said he was worried. I think if I had gotten the jump on him I would have kept the lead.
I rode in it before that in the summer of 2007 in Nebraska with Brett Manire (some know him as Bert. He's the ginger in the picture) who is now with PBB on LOTO. He was kind enough to invite me up to go for a ride on a postage stamp sized lake. The boat ran somewhere in the low 90's.
Some of my best boating memories are from 2007. I'll forever be grateful for the hospitality & friendships I made that year with Bert & Jason "Billy".

This guy wasn't really pleased to have 1400+hp in one boat on the lake.

I have quite a few... along with most of the "finished product" photos from Kustom Kolors for Poker Face and Spotlight...

is spotlight the one that got dropped off the fork lift ???

Yes sir!

Would LOVE to see them!

When I rode in it at Dubuque in 07', we hit 99.

I remember being at Kelleys Island when they did the Fox Chapel Run with Lucky 7's. I had a buddy in Toledo say that Lucky 7's was one of the last to leave and it was one of the first boats I saw come into The Casino (Toledo to Kelley's leg).

That boat had some scoot :D

I got that picture.
