Beverly, Ma. POKER RUN
 

Just got a call from Steve @ Beverly Port Marina to join in at the POKER RUN on SEPT 12.................... details to follow. "HIGH LIFE"

Beverly, Mass. Poker Run
 

Steve, Left a message here also. Goin' to Fairhaven, the weekend before, [NPBA] Run, See what I can do! Heard it was a good time!!

any word if its the same run as last time?

just wondering as its a very long run in alot of open water so myself and atleast 10 other local boats dont join in because it cost allot and we cant make the hole run do to weather, fuel, etc. i'll prob just go to grab pics again

the same
 

its always been pretty much the same.Do what I do go on someone elses.You wont lose a motor or drive.

Brad come on u can follow me like you did last week... You know brad thats acually a great idea maybe steve can make a shorter run for the smaller boats. I think all of the poker runs should do that it would bring the boat count way up and make the events a bigger success. With the economy the way it is and people getting out of go fast boats we need to do something to change the way we think of poker runs we all know it,s not a race..... and there could be cruisers center consoles and smaller boats aswell. Poker run comittes have to change there way of thinking and make there runs more accomodating for smaller boats and cruisers. I would much rather see 40 boats than see 20... We had a Poker run on our lake a couple weeks ago and we had 62 regestered boats of all kinds... And we had a great time. We had 273 people at the banquet and everyone had a great time.

818181, I plan on going to Fairhaven too, see you there. Plan on staying for both days. When I talked to Steve he mentioned they might change the run. Last year it was a long run from Plymouth back to Beverly ! "HIGH LIFE"

Scope runs two different routes for their run for larger and smaller boats.

Mike, your run was great!!! boats from 47 fountains to 18 foot pontoon boats!!! it was easy, laid back, affordable, and a great time.

I agree, you know if the run was a bit shorter and on the easier side i would be in, lou, ervin, joel, dan, rob, etc etc etc. but they miss out on us entering because we cant make the run unless the weather is perfect.
If they did say one car at the marina, one in boston, one in glouchester, one at Kettle cove and one at mysery island thats a doable run for the 22+ foot boats. easy run and it would take us just as long as the big boys to do the long run, then have a great party. maybe someone can get the guy running this thing to poke his nose on here and see if its doable for them. like i said, i think they would have a few more entries if they advertise this.

that run to Plymouth is a bit long, that run should not go any lower than Boston if you guys go to Gloucester or keep it north and go to Gloucester then around to Rockport then in the river and head south to Beverly, that would be shorter, man I was up at long lake 13 miles long and the lil lake 2 miles long south after the river and it great up there, but you can cover there and back in 20mins, I can't imagine going a poker run on webster it must of took 5 mins to reach shop, I have not heard from anyone that ran it so, I like them to be20 to 40 mins a stop myself. fallriver is the balls water was 2 footers this year NEWPORT FOR LUNCH thats tops. good luck on getting it shorter plymouth has got to be a hour from Beverly its 20 to 30 mins from Boston.

Beverly, Poker Run
 

Great, Billy Frenz need's boat's! C ya there!!

yea, thats what im saying.
it should go from beverly to boston, that could be the long run, its about 18 miles to the mouth of boston. from boston over to glouchester which again is about the same 18 or so miles

glouchester to rock port and if its good everyone can run around the outside, if its to bad the little guys can run the river, then the last stop could be mysery island which is about 7 miles from glouchester then about a 3 mile run back into beverly.
thats a run myself and allot of other 20-30 foot boats could and would do.
situet (sp) and plymouth are way to long of a run in boats like mine if the water is bad, and 90% of the time you dont see under 3 footers on that streach, so 3 hours in 3-4 footers gets old fast and we can only cruz 40 ish threw that stuff so we would be a few hours behind the big boys. lol


webster was a great great time!!! i will be doing it again next year without a question. The run was short, i think in total we did about 10-13 miles on the run, but befor the run we had a great little get together/drivers meet, sign up etc, then as people finished up we all gathered at the little sand bar and had a great great time, drinkin, volly ball, swiming etc etc, then the party/dinner was a great time, good food, good prizes, dancing etc etc etc. we cranked it up till 1am!!! good stuff for sure

i agree shorten it up, I have a 30 and can run in some chop but don't want to burn 200 gallons of fuel, keep it around Beverly,Salem, Nahant, Revere even, end at kettles Cove so everyone can get out and hang in the water after

thats a good run too. maybe walter from TKOs can put a run that starts at his place in Scituate at TKOs then Green harbor in Mashfield then Plymouth back up to Cohasset then up to Quincy Marina Bay for lunch then back to TKOs at Scituate . we could have four runs next year on the ocean . the fallriver in aug/ the fairhaven one in sept a july run walter a beverly run june or late sept plus maine and webster if they make SURE not to have it the same as fallriver we could plan this so there 2 weeks a part otherwise I will go to fallriver they started it back in the 90s:coolcowboy:. but to have a total of 6 pokerruns over the summer to go to would be great and if we could keep or get the entry fee back to 150.00 or less would mean more boats at each event for sure. once you go up to 200, plus gas for boat and truck it adds up quick. Walter is racing this year again so maybe if I TALK TO HIM OVER THE WINTER and do some of the leg work for these guys we could have 1 to 2 runs a month from june to sept or oct.:drink:

i'm with noyzee anything over a foot and a half to two feet and not many people want to ride along, nevermind the tube of 5200 and screws i need to put back at the end lol

haha, i hear you. lol

you coming for the event?
i know if they dont change it we will be running some of it, then chillin out so either way we will make a fun day of it.

sounds like i'd probably be up for that, gotta see how things go i'm trying to pick up that tantrum with no power in florida so may have to pinch some pennies.

good deal, let me know i will give you some directions to the good boat ramp. the one in salem sucks!!! there are 2 others that are good within about 15 min of port.

Beverly Poker Run
 

Has anyone signed up other than myself ??? When Steve called me he said if 10 boats don't show it will be shut down...WTF... 10 BOATS !!! Did anyone else make a commitment ? Michael "HIGH LIFE"

I know atleast 6 of us are going to go and do the trip from beverly to boston, then back into beverly. if they made the course more local then i think you would see more boats sign up, and if they dropped the price a tad you would see atleast 10 more boats. I think its to bad that its going to be cancled but if they changed it around a bit i think they could make it a succes.
like i said we will be that way saturday either way but im not paying that kind of coin for one card, a hamberger and a photo neither are the 6+ boats i know that would do it if they changed it.
oh well.


Im sure the big outer limits will be doing it, Scott with the 388 slingshot is unsure, john with the 47 said he might be in, but no one wants to burn threw the fuel for a slim chance and slim winnings

i'm on the fence,i can bring 3-4 boats but $40/ paasenger for burgers and chicken is tuff to swallow.borden light pr was $200/ boat of 4 people.they had a pool and tiki bar,seems to be a much better bargain.hell ptown's just 23mi away and i can get a lobster roll at the lobster pot and have some change left over for ice cream at ben and jerry's.:party-smiley-004:

Beverly Poker Run
 

Talked w/ Steve today..... RUN IS CANCELLED !!! He said only had commitments from 5 boats. Anyone want to have a informal run in this area? I can come up from Hingham, Sat. Michael "HIGH LIFE"

that might be a nice option and we can meet some new boaters.

Mike give me a call if you are still going to go out, I might bring the boat north. Maybe I will even take you up on the ride in your boat. Thanks.

to bad, if he had checked on here maybe he could have moved a few things around. oh well.



If informal works, id be up for it. say a late start like 1 is to try to avoid the possable morning rain. get a bunch of boat to meet out at mysery island area do a blast up to glouchester and raft up at mad fish grill for lunch and drinks, then blast back towards either salem/pickering warf or maybe back towards beverly and park at the public dock raft a few boats and run over to the anchor for a pop and a great clam chowder and hand out.

be a nice little run and good times. mad fish can easy hold 20 boats rafted they have atleast 100 feet of dock and you can go atleast 4 boats out. they would love to have us im sure. if i could get a yes from a pile of people id be happy to call the owner and see if he can try to keep the dock open for us around say the 2-3 pm area?

let me know

its very easy to get into, id be happy to put directions up to local ramps etc. id be happy to be the pace boat, but im allot slower then most, but if everyone shot into the harbor im sure a few know how to get in. its very very simple.

let me know, i know a few of us will go for sure

Get together
 

If it rains , put on a full face helmet, with wipers !!! I will most likely come up by boat. My cell # 781-844-8082...Michael

Sunday looks like the better of the two days!!!! 75 and sunny, i would be game on Sunday

sunday was what we were thinking.just not sure if i'm gonna shoot for nantucket yet.if not,i'll meet you guys

sunday works as well. let me know asap.
i know if i call mad fish and tell them we will have 5-8 boats at 25+ feet each and we are willing to pay a buck a foot and we will eat and drink im sure they will hold the docks for us.
let me know what day, i will make the calls. i will be in sat and sunday and im right out of beverly anyway so either day or both days work for me!!!

Sunday Cruise
 

Sunday should be the better day,weather wise. High tide is 6:43...could make for a good day. "HIGH LIFE"

I'm in with atleast my boat, maybe bring a couple friends on theres as well if we have a big eneough crowd or we will jump on just one, will let u know better later

Hope you guys don't mind a few fish boats!!

High life, give me a call on your way out. where will you be dropping in? I will plan on going to mysery island and hooking to my moring. high tide being at 6am i need to be in the water by 9am or my trailor will bottom out at kernwood so i will be in around 9am and go out to mysery and float on my moring. im on the back side (cocktail cove) my moring is Y5
i will be on 26 checkmate

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...y/P8230559.jpg




say we raft on my moring till about 12 ish and then plan on a blast up to mad fish.
i will be tied up with atleast one other boat (yellow 25 outlaw)

markt, fishing boats are no problem, my buddy will probably be shooting over from the river to join us on his 22 grady, the more the better.
feel free to call to hook up or for directions etc etc.


Brad 1-978-375-2143

noyzee did i see you at a gas station with that boat last week?( I think the Sunoco at lynn/Lynnfield St) are you from Peabody?
I have a 30' Scarab CC, buddy has a 34 Baja CC, another has a 30' fountain CC trying to gather them all up

yes sir, that was me. i live right next to the church on lynn st. im on the parking lot side.

im out all the time, i go to mysery allot and wingersheek beach all the time. a few of the go fast guys i run with are the 25 outlaw yellow, 29 power play, 38 hustler, 47 fountain.
not sure ive seen your boat? have pics?
where do you go?

look forward to meeting up for sure. and your buddys fishing boats sound like they will blow the doors of me, esp in big water. lol

i thought you ment fishing boats. lol

ps, my shop is right in salem. right next to pickering warf. on on the corner of ward st

none of them are very fast all around 60ish, just a fun all around boat

what time do you plan on heading out, I'm on a dock down in saugus, live on Marlborough road in Salem

yea, my mate only has a 375 hp 496, on its best day fully loaded she runs 62 ish. empty with one person maybe 64 at best. lol

i go down marlbrorough road atleast 5 times a week depending what time i leave to go to or from work that road is faster.

i have been trailering my boat the last few weeks do to weather so i drop in salem and can only make the ramp about 3 hours before or after high tide so looks like i will need to be in the water around 9 or 10 ish am. if saturday is nice i will be in the water and leave it on my slip for sunday. either way i will be at mysery around 11 ish. i will try to get out sooner, depends on how much i drink saturday. lol

Im the guy with the 34 Baja. Will most likely be there with Mark on sunday. If we have a few people who want to go we will take both boats otherwise Ill be riding with him.

I did the Poker run a few years back. Its a pretty long run......especially if the water is crappy. But, otherwise a fun time.

How many boats look to be going this sunday?

I know im in, i was waiting on weather to see about others. i will post later who i have coming.
what are we thinking?
meet at mysery and float around for a bit, then shoot up to mad fish?

mad fish sounds fun, then maybe somewhere else? whats the plce under the bridge vwhere you have to watch your tides to go to? they usually live bands?!
