Not quite true !
PRA (Poker Runs America) accept any boats 26' and upwards - the only reason for this is that liability insurance doesn't cover anything smaller.
Three times this year there were boats 30' and under that took away the prizes.
At Alexandria Bay in NY there is also a special cruiser class!!

Thanks everyone! Sounds like I shouldn't have any problems running in a couple of them. Now I can't wait til winter is over!!!

Come down and run some with us. We have two that you will feel right at home with, Jammin On The James in July and HRPA's run in Aug out of Waterside in Downtown Norfolk Va. Come see us.

Thanks for the invite! That sounds great, but I'm not too sure I want to run it in salt water. I know I can flush it afterwards, but still.... Maybe though! I'll have to see how work is in July, being in construction it's a little tough to get away for a long weekend as much as I would love to!

If you can only make one look at Jammin On The James. Go to the 07,08 Jammin threads and look at them it's a blast. You will need to get in early to get on main dock , and the past threads will tell you why the main dock is the place to be. You can go to Randy Nuzzo's site and see RPBA'S and HRPA'S pic's of past runs. We hope to see you.

Mach1, all I can say is you do one and you'll be hooked! There is also much to be said for a PR that goes into the ocean. It's about the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I wouldn't worry about running in salt water. Just make sure you flush with fresh water at the end. And the dock party/banquet is unbelievable.

Hope you can make it down to the Ches Bay. The PRs are not so large as to attract the 120mph boats, and have plenty of "average joes" that run at speeds that don't intimidate.

89mach1, is or was your boat called lickety split? It looks familiar.

Mach 1, You should think about doing the Great Sacandaga Lake(late June) and Lake George runs(columbus day w/end).

I have done Sacandaga the last 2 years(2 years ago in a 22' Scarab). A lot of people run balls out on this run, but most of the boats are single engine 28 footers. Speeds range from 55 MPH boats to 125+ MPH cats.

Lake George did not happen this past year because the organizer was too busy with other things, but the prior 2 years were a great time. They cap the speed at 60 on this run, so all the boats run together(staggerred start because there were 110 boats in '07 and the lake is only 1-2 miles wide).

The after-parties at both these runs are awesome. Plus, they are pretty cheap compared to other runs I have seen/been to.

You can join in on any run that I have attended and the runs are very safe and almost all can seperate the guys who go over 100 and those below. The most fun of the run is being around people who love the same thing that you do (boating). The poker runners are tons of fun to celebrate with as well!

I'm not sure about the "big dicks" or the "blue collars" but what about the "big blue dicks collar run"?

You have "big dick" poker runs.
And you have "blue collar" poker runs.
