Where are you getting fuel up there? I love that area and my family has a place there but the best fuel on the water I found was 89 with valve tech, I cant put that in my ZUL'S. Look forward to seeing and meeting you guys this summer. Steve

Re: To all the 42 X guys
 
That is a great question!??! When we were running the 1050 Sterlings, we brought up our own bulk truck of 110 octane. We would bring up at 2500 gallons each summer and that would last us most of the time. Last year since it was such a hassle we just pulled out each time and went to the pump. It's a pain in the A$$ but what are you going to do? I have talked to the harbor commission a million times about putting in 93. They may do that when the redo Leland Harbor. Does anyone know if you can get 92 or 93 on the water in Traverse?

Steve:

Do you have any information on the Boyne Thunder Run. I saw Masquerade up there last year running the following weekend, but we didn't do the run. Is it a good time? If you could e-mail me the information about it, that would be great!

We dont have a problem with our boats at all for noise. I tell people to settel down if they flip out for no reason. I have found some places with premium but not many. I think that they have premium at mackinaw city but I know that that is far away. It is going to be awesome to meet you at Smoke on the Water. I have the dvd and I watch is all the time. I really enjoy the skater layin it down and running away from the chopper. VERY SWEET.

If they have prem. at the bridge let me know the name of the marinia, I love it up there. I did an 8 day trip from grand haven north a couple of years ago with my last Apache and the best I found the whole trip north of Grand Haven was 89 with valve tech so I cruised at 3500 the whole trip. look forward to seeing you guys Bad Boys.

Hey Steve, East Jordan city marina on Lake Charlevoix has 93, I put together a octane list for Boyne Thunder you will get it in you driver packet, also the BP gas station in Boyne has 93 and 110 race gas if you are trailering up. I'm looking forward to seeing your new boat at Boyne, you should send us some photos to put on our web site. JB

It's looking like no dice for the Boyne run, but I am still working on trying to get my crew in-line for the run. If not, our boats home is in Leland that piece they call a marina. We are always down to go out and run or meet up with people. Till next time
