First question - What's the record for a poker run? This has to be close no?
Second question - Matt, Stu, Jackie....Do you have the published list of people signed up you can post?

Tank, I think—key word—the fleet topped 300 one year but I don't know for certain. I'll let Stu or Jackie take it from here.

But 270 boats? Uh, damn. :)

Yeah, that's a BIG number. (not to go off topic too much here) but is sounds like many racers are back this year as well. The combination is going to make for an epic KW overall event. :drink:

We received all of the information today about the run via email but they ask that it not be shared.

Which is laughable............ the runs are essentially the same every year!

Leave Haulover 10am
1st card stop: Grove Harbour
2nd stop: Gilberts- raft up for lunch, 2nd lunch location will be used (Faro Blanco maybe for the faster boats)
3rd stop: Sunshine Key, fuel trucks will be on site
then roll out under Bahia Honda south to Key West in the open ocean.

2019 looked rough pulling out of Haulover

This sounds like such a fun event. Id love to get involved with stuff like this eventually. Any low budget single engine boats making this run or is it all 6 figure 100+mph stuff?

It was great checking out all the cool stuff two years ago
Cant wait to see it again next week ! !

with the addition of center consoles, the pack has more slower boats than in the past. The CC’s can go faster but if they are loaded with people they tend to run slower. The only no go for single engine boats is the FPC Bahamas runs, Stu wants twins just from a safety standpoint when crossing the ocean.

That seems strange, what reason could there be.
