Cool pictures! How do you like running through the washing machine? My first poker run I was nervous as he!! til after the first stop but then I had fun. The next PR I knew what to expect so it was a blast from launch to load. Sounds like you got your drive issues handled also. Be safe & have fun. Randy

Congrats :) !!

We were in our first pokerrun last weekend.
We we were fourth boat back in last session.
before us was two 42 fountain and one magic
skepter 34, all others was behind..
No trophy but great time.

What is your top speed, if can ask ?

Nice ride! Bring it to LOTO for the Shootout! :coolcowboy:

Unless this was a closed course, even if it was I am sure there wasn't proper safety personnel and equipment on site, this is just unacceptable. A poker run should NOT be promoting racing to the first stop. I know there are many people who will have differing opinions, and I am fine with that. But my personal opinion is unless this run is held on a closed course, it puts both the participants and non-participants in danger. Hence the reason for all of the debates here on OSO and other boards. Sorry for the rant..... Again, congratulations, your work and I am sure plenty of $$ has paid off in a well performing boat, I am not knocking you, more so the organizers of the run that promotes by awarding first to the stop... Let the bashing begin......

Ok Let me toss water on your parade as well

Sorry but this is plain stupid to give award out for fastest anything at a poker run

This immediately absolves insurance from any coverage (seen as a race) and if there was an accident the lawyers would be all over this. It is a rally NOT A RACE! Giving any awards for speed at a poker run is just a way bad idea. WOW after all this time people still have not learned :(

No offense to the winner of this award but the poker run organizers should be drawn and quartered for this irresponsible thought process

Again, I never went wide open throttle at any point during the poker run so I did not mistake this run as a race.

I spent a lot of time and money building my boat so when I get the chance to run with other faster boats I really enjoy it.

Sorry this thread had been so offensive to other members. If a moderator reads this they can delete the thread.

I got the impression that we all spent tons of money buying and building faster boats to actually use them. I guess I'm in a small group who actually run their boats as they were built to do.

I notice in the pics nobody on board had a PFD on. Don't know what kind of Insurance the Organizer of your run has but I'd bet it was void if anybody had a problem during that Poker Run.

All the Poker Runs up here demand PFD on every crew member and a lanyard on the Driver when the boat is on plane.
