is this event open to all boats? i am new to power boating and have never been on lake cumberland and would like to check it out

We have had other other makes of boats register and join our event and participate in our fun runs/raft offs from Formula, Powerquest, Powerplay, Apache (that one was uncomfortable), Sutphens, Eliminator, Skater, Fountain, and a few others that I cant think of off hand. One year we featured Don Aronow himself and all the makes he was affiliated with/started which included the following: Donzi, Cigarette, Formula, Squadron, Magnum Marine, and USA 1. Feel free to register online and participate if you wish! Maybe we'll see you there,

Tom

I wish I could make it but I got too much going on this year.

I will put it on the calender for next year!
Maybe race boats and competition series could be next years featured boats...:whistle::bunnydance:

I have seen you guys running in the years past, it looks like you have quite the collection of nice boats

I generally have all of the kids that weekend and they really like to see all of the "little" boats ripping around
we try to find a good spot to watch you guys go past a couple of times

I hope you have a good year without too many logs

ltl, bring it man, cool boat would love to see a Nordic running with us!

PB, swing by Jamestown with the kids, the owners are friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and we love showing off the little boats. Sat AM a good time to swing in, or Friday evening.

Heard the lake is looking pretty good, hope it stays that way!

Tom, SHOTGUN! I got first dibs.... :)

word around the campfire is that somebody watered a 22' Blackhawk and it grew into a 28' Nordic........any truth to that Averitt? I mean ltl?

LOL, I missed the locale there.. I may have to wait for Chattanooga to see the Nordic :-)

the kids would love that, I just may take you guys up on that

ZRC for AOTH XIII theme boat...
 

You guys commit to joining us, and I don't think anyone would object to the ZR Competiton as our theme boat. They have been instant classics since day one! We might ask you to run out front though...

I've still got SHOTGUN!

If Comps are the theme next year count me in with 001.

I will commit to next year too!
I think we could dig up a few more Comps to come as well!

Heck, I will run in the back if you want! It is not about speed, money or who has the biggest...... boat. :)
I had many great years and poker runs in my 22' Classic years ago, I loved that boat! That was the first go-fast boat I owned (7 years) and literally ran the heck out of it. I decided to sell it when the stringer split off the hull and the fuel tank ruptured!

These are from 1998ish before I did a full cosmetic restoration on it in 1999.

is there a time you guys generally just hang around the dock at this event or are you going all the time

Saturday morning is a good time to see the boats at the JRM dock. We do kind of a show and shine where people fill out ballots for the People's Choice Awards given out that night. Come on over and take a look around.

Partyboat
If you bring your camera with you and ask nicely I am sure Todd might even let you put all the kids in his boat and take some pictures....

Classic, Shea!!!!! Now that is funny!

Note; Formula boats from Canada are not allowed. It's kinda a rule

It would be good to get some pictures with the boats but doubt all 8 (including the wife's sister's kids) of them will be able to fit in some of those small boats , they barely fit in the pontoon, and i can tell you once they start running around on the dock you won't want them on your boats!

there aren't actually people who come all the way from Canada for this are there? seems like a long way.

what if they have dudes from texas in them?

and partyboat
generally in the past the canadian boats are the ones at the front with the canadian flags flying

LMAO,yeah we allow the Canucks to come down and play with us. Have visitors from both coasts up there actually. People come from Ca, Fla and New Hampshire even. Great event, great time.

As far as photo op's on the dock, carry a few plastic duck toys with ya and Todd will
warm up. He has a soft spot for the lil buggers....

That's a given. He will even let one sit at the helm and jerk the controls around and they can eat their Cheetos too.

lmfao!!!!

To claify things Partyboat, The Canadian boats think they are out front. They also operate in Kilometers, not MPH's. So when they tell you they are doing 100.......they're actually going like 63. It's a dillusional thing. Maybe we should put up a wall at the Canadian border instead of the Mexican border, hahaha!!!

Especially in my bilge. Note to self, time to find 250 plastic duckies in a large hefty bag stored away somewhere, God knows where, for a little re-gifting ceremony at AOTH XII.

Seriously Partyboat, this is truly a national, or I guess international event if you count Shea, and the people all know each other well, so watch your back if you come over to meet us!

We can number them and have duckie races over the falls....

well we did one better than the gas dock at jamestown

I was able to sweet talk the staff at the lunch place to save us a spot with you on friday so we will all just meet you guys there for lunch

hopefully we get a chance to put some faces to the names

hate to be the party pooper on this one partyboat but if you are serious about looking to spend the weekend with us you might want to contact Roadtrip on Donzi.net

he has a whole schedule and puts alot of work into arranging the meals etc for exact numbers and everything

i would just hate to for you and your kids to step on his toes

all in all it is a very reasonable deal for the amount you get

Shea

well i hope you guys like kids

the neighbour loved the idea of hanging out with you guys so we will all be coming

grand total with everyone will be 12 kids

look forward to seeing everyone

I'll get the family size bag of Cheetos and put them in Todd's boat (Roadtrip) for the kids to munch on:evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb ::evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb:!!! (12 kids)

lol. Someone please photoshop that image! I wish I could be there but can't make it this year. Sometime though...
