You in for Portofino's or only if we go to the Clam Digger?

Sounds awesome!! Have you locked down the day yet?
Didn't I meet you last week with Dennis and mark in st Clair restaurant for lunch ?

We might run up to portofinos, i'll run it by the crew we will be with.

I didn't dock, I ran up with them and then went back....had a prior commitment.

Hope to see you Saturday, check the page for details.

Ok, hope to see you!

Saturday is the day,

The docks in Toledo holding spots for leopa boats, another option? Keep updated like to meet up.

Don't think we will run that far....nice spot though. I was there for the LEOPA Spring Run.

Ya lol I thought that was you.
So you guys thinking Saturday or Sunday for the fun run?

Posted above, Saturday.

You thought I was what?

I have to work, but if you guys come down to the dig. I'll help get you tied up again. The water is still moving good. Saw a big chunk of driftwood headed out today.

Sounds like a perfect way to spend the 4th. of July. Weather looks good too (81 - 0% chance of rain). I would like to join you, but have a few issues to deal with:

1) I burned an impeller at the end of the season last year. Replaced it, ran a few more times (all good) and made a run from metro beach to Wyandotte a few weeks ago. Coming home from Wyandotte my water pressure sat at about 8 lbs on the port engine (17 on strbod and port is the replaced impeller). Temp stayed good until I hit 4000 rpm and then would start to slowly climb. Running below 4000 temp stayed good. I'm thinking I might have some debris left in the line and plan on flushing out today. Assuming that fixes it, the boat is good to go ......... just have to get the wife and some friends to agree to go

2) What speed do you guys run at? I normally cruise at 50 MPH or so.Top end is 68 and wifey isn't doing that for long.

3) I have some good friends who have a daughter visiting from Louisiana. Depending on her schedule (and whether or not she wants the parents to do something else) will decide if we go.

Please post updates on schedule. If we decide to go (I really want to), I'll be at Miller 10:45 ish. Look for me in a 46EC Black Thunder. Hope it all works out

Post an approximate time line of the Fun Run like what time will you be going down the Detroit River and coming back.

Leaving Miller Marina at 1130 to.go.to.portofinos. After that no.schedule.

. The schedule is leaving miller at 1130. Then no schedule.

All different speeds, a few of us leave for Boyne next week so shouldn't be a high speed rip. There will be boats from 60 top speed to 125.

Wish I could join you guys. Boat is still at All American drive. Have fun, it looks like it is going to be a beautiful weekend.

Saturday no good, family bbq's that day

Sorry you can't make it Ron.....I'll see ya at Boyne!

I'm in just picked up port side Bravo.
AADS saves the weekend! 31' Scarab

Thank you , appreciate the information.

Lucky you! Mine is still there. Maybe I'll just walk there since Portofinos is right down my street..lol

All is good! Myself and wife along with 6 friends will be at Miller's around 10 ish. I'll top off with fuel and be on the lake in front of miller by 1030 or so. We will run to portifino with you, and then probably just cruise back and hang out at a bay near millers with some other friends. The plan is then to spend the night at Belle Mar and watch the fireworks. Weather looks good and sounds like a fun day. Thanks for organizing it

With 8 people and full of fuel and water my WOT will probably be about 65mph. I'm not going to run that hard so I'll fall behind and be at portifino while you're having desert! Lol

Anyone wanting to head to Diggers,Lake Erie is a mess logs, garbage.Went out today to run the drive some.
Lake St Clair,worth the trip and I live by monroe.

Hey same here lol
We can keep the back of the pack sexy �������� lol

So are you leaving at 10:30 or 11:30?

My crew and I are meeting at my dock Jefferson beach 10am, than heading over to millers and rolling out with the pack.
I think everyone is heading out about 11:30am tomorrow.

Ok. We are set and ready. Portofinos know we are coming.

Leaving miller at 11.30.

Have 16 boats at this point. I did the best I could on our Facebook page.....I don't know everyone though.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

11.30

Thanks, post #25 made me ask just in case it changed. Don't know if well run all the way, the Sunny has somewhere to be early afternoon.

What a day!! Couldn't have picked better weather for the run. I wanted to thank all who came, I counted 17 boats at Portofino's.
5 of us went to Clamdiggers....2 hours of beating a stuck sea strainer lid off and a broken lower later we all made it safe!!
Again, thanks to you all for coming!

Seen you guys going down the Detroit River around noon infant of the GM Building. It was great to watch you guys going by, wish you came a little closer to the Canadian side.

Yea, everyone was running on the US side. Was a great run.

who broke the lower,,,did it hit something.????

Hey Larry, was great seeing you at Clamdigger.

A buddy, Joe, we left Portofino when getting on plane the prop shaft said good bye along with his Hering prop. That is why I arrived so much later. We went back and docked it to assess the damage. He idled back.on one.

Looked like a good turnout. We ran with you guys for the first couple of miles. Who's got the silver/green sunsation? That thing runs and looks really good.

Yea, I tried to get a few pictures and some video from way over on the Canadian side of the boats going by the GM Building.
