Gerald,
E mail sent.
Thanks,
Allen

GEEEZ! Thats allot of info to fill out. How about this.....

I'm coming...see you there...i'll have cash at drivers meeting :drink:

great! bring all you can we have room for everyone

Thats fine! we just have to know how many so we can plan the food.

and we dont need people say we are coming and then not show up so fill the **** out I know you got the money after buying a boat like that:asskiss:

I want to go!!!! Mark, can I borrow your pontoon? Maybe my jet ski......

I will be there. You can count me in. I keep my cruiser at F-Dock at Hale's Bar.

I will bring either my Donzi X-18 or the 26ZX if I feel up to taking it off the lift at Center Hill.

Thomas your wife can ride with us:kiss:

I see you like pitchers. Well! got one or two myself

Not in Atlanta Powerboat Club. Just thinking about coming up for the run. Will the water conditions be similar to the Knoxville run?

You will be running mostly in a gorge from Chattanooga to about 5 miles above Nickajack Dam. The scenery is spectacular. One of the top scenic section on the Great Loop Cruise. The water is usually pretty smooth with exception of some cruiser wakes. I will do it in my X-18 any given day. I do the run a good bit but is usually to take the cruiser to downtown Chattanooga for dinner and drinks. I was actually heading there on the 24th but it sounds like I will stick around Hale's Bar!

I thought the scenery in Knoxville was outstanding. I was mostly thinking about depth and navigation. Never been on the river in the Chattanooga area. Sounds excellent. Now just have to get my boat back together.

Navigation is no problem. There is a navigation channel. It does neck down around Raccoon Mountain (halfway point)where it gets DEEP in the gulch created by an earthquake. I have north of 150 feet on the transponder. I have heard reports of 200+.

It is an easy place to navigate. Now get that boat together and come on.

How many miles will the run cover? I don't want to fill my tanks all the way up since this will probably be my last run of the year.

It is around 35 miles from Hale's Bar to Chattanooga and a few more miles if you go from Nickajack dam to Chattanooga.

you REALLY wanna play this game??? :)

The area this run will cover is gorgeous, especially through the gorge. I got a chance to run down there in 2007 with some folks on a fall color cruise and really enjoyed it. Wish I still had my boat, I would do this run in a heartbeat.

The area was very easy to navigate.

A couple shots a friend took from my boat at the run in 2008.

WOW

This is the real reason Gerald bought a new boat. Notice in the bottom picture (see post #26) that my Baja is pulling away from his 35 Fountain.

Hmmm, umm, Thomas....I think he was passing you. :lolhit:

But, my point of view could be off since I was behind both of you. :drink:

You coming? I met you in Destin...you have a beautiful cat! Come give Gerald a run for his money!! :)

is the run 35 miles long or 70 miles long ? we might come down for it as a last run for the season . can I get more details ? like where to go , say off I 75 what exit # maybe some directions , adress , maybe local motel nearby , its 360 miles for us to come down there , were going to be tired . maybe we will come on friday afternoon . :party-smiley-020: Tim

Now! Bob with the 38 fountain (mudslide) gave me that shirt and yes I know it is a wife beater shirt, but my question is whats up with the chain

Oh! by the way :angry-smiley-038:

Come thru chattanooga go left at downtown on 24 west towards Nashville go out of chattanooga about 6 miles to Hale town Guild Tennessee rite two blocks to stop sign turn rite then quick left at hales bar marina (sign) the boat ram is 3 blocks the marina is 6 blocks check in at the ship store they have rooms and cabins at the marina the phone number to make resevations and pay intry fee is 423-942-9000

dam! thats me getting ready to pass thomas

Yup. I see you got a new ride since then. I was in the 25 Outlaw black with red flames that day. That run was a great ending to our season that year.

What GNgeorgia said but you won't see that sign immediately. They took it down because they got tired of people driving through the neighborhood. It will be the first left after the C-store (Anchor Inn). If you miss it, there will be a Hale's Bar sign about 1/2 mile on the left and you can follow that. Do a search under Hale's Bar Marina and they will have directions.

There is a good chance I will be there Friday night. Post or pm if you are coming and I will tell you how to find my slip. It is over near the cabins.

Come on down. The dock residence are partiers and they are cool with loud boats. It is a laid back environment.

There is a bunch to do in Chattanooga but if you are road weary I would recommend hitting the Mexican restaurant in Jasper. It is nearby and they serve powerful drinks if you ask for the top shelf.

The run to downtown and back is 70 miles. 35 each way.

Well! what can i say

Again, what you going to do about your statis now.

Mr. so call go fast man:lolhit:

man I love your boat. are you guys coming and if so who coming down with you

Thanks...unfortunately, we sold the boat last year when our son was born. So far I have not found the perfect replacement yet.

I would love to join the run and may be able to if my buddy and I can get his Pantera back together in time.

The boat is in the shop for some upgrades but we may be coming up in a 25 eliminator with a little 640 in her.
