Default Need help with the shootout

I am planning on attending both the Michigan City Superboat Race and the shootout. I don’t have a truck that can haul my boat, and my time is pretty tight, so, I’m looking at having the boat hauled. I have a 2002 46 Black Thunder on a trailer. Here is my very tentative plan:

1) have the boat hauled from my home in Michigan to Trail Creek Marina in Michigan City. Launch the boat, and store the trailer. I think I have this piece handled

2) Have a local hauler transport the boat to Osage Beach (or any better site that may be suggested). I am looking for someone, so any references are appreciated

i need to store the boat in a secure location for about 2 weeks prior to the shootout (there is a gap between the end of the Michigan City races and start of the shootout). Ideally, wherever I can have it stored can drop me in the water for the week of the shootout, and store my trailer.

ill then need a slip for the week

3) once the shootout has ended I need a local company to haul the boat and trailer back to the Detroit area (my home)

any help, references, suggestions are appreciated

I'd get in touch with Ed Champion at Big Thunder marine, I think they would be able to take care of everything you need.
You could also try Performance Boat Center but I don't think they have slips available weekly.

Are you planning on staying on the boat??? or renting a condo??? Many condo's have slips with them, but its hard to find one with a slip for a 46"

I agree with Griff. I stayed at PB 2 several times years ago. They do have a shower house,shore power, fuel and a store.
