Default 2013 Pottahawk Pissup, July 14th

Does anyone on here go to that? I went last year and it was a blast! Craziest boat party ive ever been to (like 10,000 pl, 5000 boats)! Met some nice boaters too.

Its on Lake Erie on the CDN side but a lot of Americans go too.

We have been going for 5 or 6 years now. (memory fogs with time).
Anyway, we always have a convoy of boats and trailers ( had as many as 6 one year, quite a sight on the road) leaving Port Colborne McDonalds around 7am to run to Port Dover to launch.
Launch at Dover is quite nice for $20. Launch your boat and when you park your truck they have golf carts and a driver to pick you up to run back to to your boat so the ramp does not clog up much.
Same on your return at the end of the day. Golf cart guy takes you to your rig to speed things up a bit. Just awesome!
Trip is about 20 mins across from Dover. Then there is the required cruise up and down for 30 mins to find a good spot to anchor. Then its relax and enjoy the show!
Cops are not too bad as long as your not an asshat you should be fine but make sure you have your registration and all safety gear requiered for your boat.
Planning on doing it again this year!

We've been going for several years now. Always a great time, if we are full of vigor in the morning we shoot over on the watercraft from Turkey Point, less vigor we take the boat. Great times, 99% awesome people and the police just want to make sure everyone has fun and gets home safe. Usually someone has 15 people on a pontoon boat with 4 life jackets, they get enough tickets to keep the party going.

Maybe a word of caution. We're docked at Dover the water levels are low, unloaded our 272 in early May and couldn't drop the out drive til we got about 5 feet away from dock. Now they have a launch at your own risk sign up if you're over 30'. If you guys don't mind we might run out with you, you go by our 272 on the left about 100' after you launch. She's called Comfortably Numb. Good luck. We can certainly help you guys launch if you want it. Peter

We go to and have for 12 years , it has changed over the years but great time if you are not an A hole. Thanks for the water update have a client that was going to put 27' Donzi in there but might suggest Turkey Point instead. Have a great time to al this year.

Maybe we'll see you out there. We're not A Holes lol. Have a 272 Baja called " Comfortably Numb", please feel free to stop by and say hello. By the way the water level has come up somewhat with all this rain.

Was in at Turkey Point last weekend and took a run out to Long Point on the watercraft. Water level does appear to be up for sure.
