Hey Dude, reg. form at the website! :cool-smiley-027:

I think this link will take you straight to the registration.

Anyone know how many boats made it last year?

38/39 JB knows 4 sure!:cool-smiley-027:

There was 39 plus another 27 boats used for pace, marshal, rescue and card stops.

Plus 50000 people at the pubs!!!!!!!:evilb:

oh now u tell me the rules

Is there anywhere on the water you can get 92 octane or do you need to trailer to a gas station...i couldn't find any last season

Yes the East Jordan Municipal Marina has 93 octane. It is on the south arm of Lake Charlevoix.
The BP gas station (on land) in Boyne City has 110 race gas.

I think we need 2 get some of that 110, pour some up YZ's AZZ w/ a LONNNNNG funnel & light it!!!!!:evilb:

now you have my attention!!!

R U reg'd yet dude????? Get it on!!!!!

Knowing the area i'm suprised that the BP in Boyne has 110...glad to hear about the 93 in east jordan...thought when we get together that thursday before and do some running around l'd have to pull it out and refuel on shore for the run!!

Ah still early I think there is a whole group coming like 5-6 boats

Part of me wishes I hadn't found this Forum. It sucks to sit in the house and know my boat is still covered in storage. So much of what's on OSO is Winter porn with no chance of physical stimuation. I have needs that can't be filled now. If anyone else feels the same maybe we can start a support group. Is this how an alcoholic feels if they go to the bar?

I speak from personal experience. I have one of the smallest boats, and many others have more $$$ in one motor then my entire boat costs. You will be welcomed. One bit of advice... be prepared for addiction. One run isn't enough!!

The Donzi will be there!!!!!

There is a oval race track over at Boyne Falls and a lot of the cars burn 110.
Also the Boyne City Police Department organizes drag races out at the airport and some of the cars that come to that burn 110.
Also, any boats buying gas at the BP get free ice for there coolers.:drink: I tried to talk them into filling your coolers with beer also but he wouldn't go for that. :evilb:

I might come up????

I might be coming up.

this is looking better each day, now where is Boyne???

Drive east for a little bit, point north, and drive for a LOOOONG time and you are there!

Ok...look at the palm of your right hand...it is by the tip of your ring finger. Hope this clears up any confusion.:D

You guys must be land lovers:evilb:
Just drop your boats in around Chicago, set your GPS for 45*12'55"N 85*01'10"W
and about 300 miles later you will be here.:drink:

Looking forward to the poker run, we'll be there thrusday afternoon, I am still mad I missed it last year.

Good deal buddy. It sounds like there will be many coming on Thursday. We should all get together for dinner somewhere on the water. Maybe the Landing in Ironton, we could invade the place with some cool hardware.
We have a new Tiki Bar (15'x18') that was donated to us. We could then go back to the marina and crisen that baby:ernaehrung004::drink:

Hey JB, look forward to the Tiki bar, me and KEMOSABE and our crew will be there, holding down a picinic table. We may bring a boat to run around with and leave mine set up for a hard run saturday!!

Hey BIG Daddy wheres the slips ?? and what hotel is closest ... Connie is calling back in a couple hours ....Us drunken sailors cant drive :D:cool-smiley-011:
ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

How goes it John/JB? Have you ever had a problem with too many boats wanting to enter? How many boats will Boyne Thunder allow in the run? I just might come up (and possibly others) to make the run this year.

Hi Mark,
We have raised it to 60 boats this year so there is still some room for you. Every year we try and change some things around to make it fresh. This year we have added a Tiki Bar at the Marina and we will also be blocking the main streets off to vehical traffic and we will have boats, trucks, cars, bikes, ect... on display downtown, should be very cool. Come on up:D

JB- you make it sound so fun.....did you forget about all that hard work that goes on to prep for this??? all those hours of talking to boaters, looking at boat pics, cleaning your boat, re-cleaning your boat, imagining all the bikini's, cleaning your boat again....and then finally realizing that you cleaned your boat for nothing cuz all those bikini's hang out on boats like Wrinks and YZ's?!?! *****s! oh well, i'm still in, i got nothing better to do i suppose!
Bill

This sounds like an incredible time. That part of "the mitt" is about my favorite place in the whole world. My wife's cousin has a place up in Harbor Springs...maybe we could just stay with them for the week and shoot down for the event.

For the past 4 years, I've had a conference that falls on that weekend that I have always attended. But I might just blow it off this year - after all, I've been to Orlando before...and July 11th is my birthday, dammit. :evilb:

I'd also like to go down and hit Torch and the chain for a day. Do they still party on the Sandbar July 4 weekend?

Quit B'n a talker!!! B a Do'er!!!!! :cool-smiley-011: :D
