Michigan Poker/Fun Runs
I need to get up to Grand Rapids some time this summer on business. The timing is pretty flexible. Are there any Poker/Fun Runs going on in that neck of the woods? i don't think that I want to do a Lake Michigan run, but maybe one of the inland lakes? Thanks

I don't know about the East side of Michigan, but us West coasters get out of the little lakes and get out on the "Big Lake" as fast as we can, whenever we can!

on the east side you could do a few in Lake Erie out of Detroit, Cleveland, or Port Clinton. Further north Traverse City. Although if you can't make a run, Lake Michigan and the west side of the state is beautiful and worth the trip. Do some research about Grand Haven before you put your boat in there, they have a strictly enforced noise ordinance. Hope this helps some.

Dont worry to much about Grand Haven and noise...They were big on it for a couple years because of complaints. With no more complaints, things have been good. Idling around with two big motors is not advised. Better to lay low than bring attention to yourself. For a big single...if you idle as low as it will go when going by you will likely be fine. Now days you will only be messed with if you are making a wake, going to fast, and being loud all together.
No fun runs or poker runs over here. Hot Boat weekend (Hardy Dam, 45 min. north) is more of a week long gathering of fast boats during the week, but mainly on the weekend after Labor day. (Awesome time, but still no runs. Lots of racing) Coast Guard Fest is a riot if you like lots of people and big parties on the water. (on the last weekend only) During the week there is alot of stuff to do during the festival. During that same weekend is the races in Michigan City.
Send A PM when you are close to coming. If something comes up close by I will post.

Any dates set yet for any of the summer runs. I am pretty flexible, but need to get up to Grand Rapids on business, so it would be nice to be fairly close. Here is what I am thinking about dragging up with me.
