leopa does some fun runs on the other side of the state from you,,, Thunderfest has the big guns, but the spring and fall runs are a blast and you would fit right in.. I am good luck on the fall run, I did it with Brian Orlandi one year and we were 1st to the 1st card stop, and I did it with Jeb Rider last year and we were 1st to the 1st card stop. I also won Boyne thunder one year and gotten second another year...Im just good luck all around

I only enter poker runs that have a charity benefactor. They are really fun fundraisers that easy to spend money on when a charity is involved. Ive participated in PR's and never left the dock. Its not a race. With the right fun loving generous group you could bring a bathtub and possibly still win. I find the high end-no charity runs are defiantly "our club" events.........

Remember, its the big boats that get the publicity! They have tritoons running the desert storm poker at 35-45 mph. Go for it, I'm sure its a blast no matter where you're at.
Hoes love the water, it doesn't matter how fast you are

They are addicting, once you run your first one you will be wanting to run more. If you do enough of them you will find yourself buying a larger faster boat. I started out with a 22 foot with a 350, 4 boats later I have a 35 foot with twin big blocks

lol I could def see that....last year was my first with a performance boat and I'm for sure hooked...I can see a poker/fun run doing nothing but strengthening the addiction...I know a bigger boat is on my horizon just need to find the right one and have the money haha

At a poker run a few years ago, we partied too hard the night before - woke up late, needed fuel in the boat, and thus, missed our group's start, and had to start in the (last group) cruiser class. Nice slow 30mph ride to the first card stop, could barely stay on plane LOL. But we were boatin' and that's what matters.
Just get out there, get involved, and enjoy the day/weekend! ...and most importantly, meet some new people!
