Did you place the numbered sticker on your boat? Perhaps it's possible some were missed by the helicopter because their stickers were missing.

Outlaw 11,

Last year when FPC was in Orange Bch, we went ahead and did the Emerald Coast run through the Emerald Coast Foundation. We brought 7 boats down with us, all of which had our team name on the side, only 2 out of the 7 made their video and we saw the helicopter many of times. I guess it is just luck of the draw, when there are 200+ boats all at different places. Just like you, we are from out of state, 4 states away, so it was kind of a bummer. But I guess you win some and you loose some. But every year, despite the video we have a great time.

No problem meeting up with the helicopter for the runs out in the Gulf. Stu stated 11:30 to 12:30 for these videos and he was there on time.

The rest of the day was hit or miss with the rain. In my opinion, he always does a hell of a job with the video/pictures.

No bat girl our boat did not break. Just because everything worked out for you . You are satisfied. Like i said before iam not the only one that was very disappointed. Iam not going to KW. So the refund will not help me. I just wanted everyone to know that next time there is no refund. I hope you get your shots next time. I know next year they will have about a 20 percent drop in repeat customers. Why would we pay again for something we might not get. I guess they should of said no rain checks either if we are not at the locations we are suppose to be at.

yes we had the sticker on our boat.

Last year when the other people did the video and pictures, we had 3 boats that paid and did not get any shots of them. :( Then when the video came and it sucked! They went to walmart and had the pic developed and charged us 60.00$ each for a 8x10. Every FLP Club video looks professional. Bottom line is, it don't matter who does the pictures if you not in the right place at the time you were told you won't get a pic. Post a pic of you boat and someone may have a good shot of you and your crew.

Re: emerald coast poker run
 

That many boats why wouldn't you have two helicopters or even three.
At $125 per boat and 279 boats they could have paid for 10 Robinson R-44's @ $450 per hr. for almost 8 hours. Someone made a chunk of change on this one.

Re: emerald coast poker run
 

In the meeting Stu said that under 65 boats paid for the pictures. Thats why he gave a list of times he would be at different places so the ones who paid would know where to be. We only got pictures one time due to the weather.

Re: emerald coast poker run
 

Exactly What Iam Saying. If They Could Not Handle 65 Boats Then They Should Not Of Taking The Money.
