The brand new 44 is the SV43 from the Miami boat show. Dont forget Bob and his Turbine Skater and a 51 Outerlimits with big Outerlimits power!

I am also curious to see the new 28 Rage up close that is supposedly doing the run.
So it looks like there might not be a record breaking attendance, but seems like some serious hardware will be on display.

I'll be there...
I'm sorry but I have to say this, like I've said before, now I find out nothing's included, I've never seen a poker run...EVER...CHARGE PEOPLE TO DOCK...unless they included something to compensate..
Anyone else think this price is ridiculous...you have to pay for docking and lunch? That's 500 (400 to enter, 26 for lunch and another 42-50$ to dock?) for what, no free t-shirt, no videos, a hand of *ucking cards? I'm sorry, but nothing is going to charity that I know of...what exactly are you really doing, it's this price for what...a hand of cards?? That's ridiculous, putting it on costs money, all it seems there is...is pay to go do a run for the chance at a winning hand...
Am I on crazy pills or something?
Food was supposed to be included but I think it's ABSURD for this price AND you also have to pay for docking....
What are you really getting?
Not to mention the thousand+ bucks in fuel...and everything else that goes along with it...
I'm just really wondering where the justification was in this price...when fall river, and numerous others are half the price and include ALLOT more...this one includes...well...nothing...if I'm paying to dock, I'm running to Block and having lunch there...
The simple fact is I''m not the only one who feels this way...not to mention it's discouraged ALLOT of boats that I know from even entering...100-200$ yea...not 400$...
Where's the free t-shirt...that's all I'm saying...oh and if you're not a member of the association...that's even more $...if I wanted to gamble this i'd go to the casino...if I was donating to a good cause that's one thing...not one person can tell me why this run is so expensive..considering most of US are at the marina...

Not that I was going to run anyways.......but I woke up this morning and got an email from Billy (NPBA) stating all these "other fees". I was pretty shocked. I know it's not a HUGE amount of money......but it's the principle!! WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS RUN??????
