https://youtu.be/E3iMguzSaw0 A short video of several videos edited together my son took. The slick water footage was the morning running up to the gathering. Best water I saw all day. Running with us were 2 35' Fountains, 33' Donzi, and a 28" Donzi
Needless to say, we could hang with the Reggies !!!

First Poker Run with new engine on our home lake. Good turnout, about 60 boats

My son's "YEA" at the end of the video is a nice way to end this thread.

Thanks to all that support this project and gave you valued advise along the way.

Be safe out there!
