Charlevoix suggestions
 

A couple of us are planning a trip to the Charlevoix area this July 10th to 15th. Any one have any suggestions on where to stay, and what to do?
We will be trailering there. Thanks for all your suggestions.

There is a motel on north side of town, that would be ok if you day launch.

Hmmmm a 28 donzi outta marinette? By any chance are you the guy I met this spring at the launch in menominee?( I had the older 38 fountain on the trailer).

Better check out Boyne thunder while your in charlevoix, awesome to watch, even better to run in it. I've always had good luck staying at irish boat shop in charlevoix. Its right next to the city launch which has an excellent facility. I wish we had launches that well set up here in the UP.

All the shops in downtown charlevoix are neat to walk around. I know I was in awe idleing through bay harbor. Impressive.

Hey halfgassed! how are you doing? yup that would be me.
We are going over to spectate the run, i would love to run it but my boat isn't fast enough and my pockets aren't deep enogh...
if your bored that week you should come join us.

I've been told that charlevoix city marina is real nice, gonna be a busy weekend that's for sure, and hey you don't need a fast boat in a poker run, just a good hand...

If you see wrinkleface.... RUN!!!

What he said! Hope to see you up there. The boating and atmosphere is second to none. The local group of go fast boaters up there is great, and with BT being in town in should be a great time to be there.


..... And that too :lolhit:

There will be a group of us that are going to watch and have fun. We will be up friday morning and run somewhere for lunch and a couple drinks then back to Boyne for the friday night festivities..then saturday we will hang out and watch the run

Hi everyone thanks for the replies. I really hope to meet some of you guys. Drock, i hope we can hook up with you sounds like a good time.

Blue Oval what is the name of that hotel, and how far from the marina is it?

Why watch out for wrinkle face... he don't like Donzi's!?? :lolhit:

We're doing great, just impaitently waiting for spring. I ran my fountain in boyne last year. I was probably the slowest thing there, but I still had a blast. I actually think it was pretty cool watching the faster boats come screaming by. I met some great people there the last 2 years I've been there. Cant wait to return.

I hear ya on the pocket depth, that part of the reason we're probably staying on this side of the lake this year. We had enough problem trying to get the boat out of the water last fall because of the low water levels and short launches in escanaba. We figured that if we do go to boyne this year we'll have to run the boat to menominee to pull it out (unless the water comes up). By the time I add up the fuel to run the boat from esky-menominee, the truck from marquette-esky-menominee and back to marquette.........then all the way to boyne I might as well fill the tanks and run the boat across the lake. We'll see what happens.

Either way maybe we'll see ya's around this summer. We're planning on doing alot of door county runs. Plus we'd like to run down for waterfront fest this year.

Hes a good guy just dont give him your phone number. LOL

Wrinkleface is the only OSO er that is a local to Charlevoix and when anyone comes to his hood he is a good tour guide. Honestly im suprised he hasnt seen this thread yet. See ya in a few months.

Pete

BTW we have a few others coming from Wi for the run too. soem guys from Oshkosh and one from Miwaukee area

If you know you going to door county let me know maybe we can hook up. We go there all the time.

Ha, just found it punk!!!! I think Blue Opel is think'n of the Americinn(231-237-0988) just north of Char!! It is prolly about 4 miles or so from the city launch back on the south side of Char! Gorgeous waters around here!!! C ya in July!!! Tracy

Now your starting to get a taste for the "character" we have around here. And if you guys don't have a good time ill bet it's your own fault:evilb:

We look forward to meeting some new faces

I posted the Americinn above 4 him! That would B his best bet 4 park'n a truck/trailer as U know they have a decent lot!!

Bump for bigboat28

Talk him into taking the Pantera and staying on the boat!

Trust me I'm trying! Trailer has new brakes and everything!

I grew up in Charlevoix and you can't ask for a better area in the summer. The marina is great with floating docks and new facilities if you want to stay on your boat.

If you like throwing an anchor and staying the night, I recommend going and staying in Oyster Bay for the night. I had some of the best times ever boating there on my parents boat.

The Americinn would be best for boat and trailer, but the other four suggested by BlueOval are best for enjoying what downtown has to offer. Parking at the launch is pretty safe and may be an option to leave overnight if you can lock the boat up or even talk to Dry Harbour south of town to leave the trucks and trailer. Scott and Barney the owners are pretty good guys.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
