Up date on the king of the river run originally set for two different weekends July 4th then Pirtates weekends. Guess it's only going to be the pirtates weekend this year. I know Pete's chomping at the bit to take the title away running one engine in reverse. Sorry buddy your just going to have to wait

Well you want to come locked and loaded, just bought a new set of props from Throttle Up this afternoon, somewhat Hering'ish. And the next day air from Teague showed up this morning. The UPS deal is actually amazing, you order from N.Y. at 3:00 pm (noon CA time) and it's at your door at 9:30 am the next day, cool chit to say the least.
You're in a world of hurt now pal!!!

I say you all get in on this deal and I'll come to watch. Formulas should make good dredgers!

Rip,
Pond channel is good right now. They don't dredge until later in the summer, it has something to do with DEC regulations. In any event, there are no issues getting in out at present.
As for the Pond Poker Run, I think it's scheduled for July 11th. Only 50 bucks to get in. There's supposedly going to be some screamers from Onieda Lake and even some nationals coming. Our crew will be doing the 50-60 mph run. Slow boats first then faster guys later so we can watch them blow by. The Wigwam Hotel/Rest. has accomodated the event with free docks for as many as they can fit, rafting is ok. Should be cool. The last stop is on the beach for blender drinks

We'll hope for flat water for you so you don't stuff your beak when your pad bottom bounces off 3 footers.

If you all turn to page 38 of your June Powerboat mag there's a nice pick of a 42 fountain dippin' it's beak in 3 footers, rumor has it they had to turn back. Might wanna keep the lightning in the river where ya can see land on both sides......
