I signed up for the Erie poker run hoping the water was gong to be rough as I have been trying for 30 years to get some decent rough wayer shots of the boat. Needless to say it was rough and we got some great shots. The boat ran great and my wife and Matt were both fairly comfortable as I asked them both several times if they were okay, even after I got caught a little off guard and took one over the bow, soaking us and removing my windscreen, go pro and goggles, every one was still all smiles. Thanks to Tony for putting on a great run, location is great . Fellow boaters were all great as well , we made many new freinds I will be back next year for sure.

Brings back memories..... LOL

What is Erie like compared to bumpy Georgian bay ?? I can't wait to see that monster out this summer! Beautiful boat!

I know that the lake claimed more than one GoPro. Tony was in the helicopter taking video.
