Elk Rapids hates power boats

Maybe old mission point, fox islands, beaver island, bay harbor. Etc.

Its really hard to make a great event better!!!

we have had a bunch of people that think the 2 long open water runs 2 & from the Beav can B tough if the water is rough & I understand!!

I agree and have been there when the water was rough, 6-8's!! BUT if its out of the west it will be rough most the way to Elk Rapids and back anyways......

I will keep thinking, no matter what we will be there, with our boat or on yours!! LOL

Dr T can fit 10 people on his boat now!!! There would be more room, but he won't let anyone go down under. He is afraid someone might steel his Little River Band CD!

Number one choice from BT meeting tonight-Boyne City,Elk Rapids,North Port, Charlevoix for lunch, pop back out to Bay Harbor and return to Summer Set. Time for more input, distance very close to present course.

Has Elk Rapids had a change of heart on offshore boats?

ELk Rapids has a very nice facility with that being said myself and a few others with offshore boats stayed there about 4 years ago for the fourth. The members were not too happy to have us. On the final day we recieved a standing ovation when we loaded the boats on the trailer. Yes, we were very respectful when it came the noise. It would be a great facilty if we could get Elk to participate.

I belive the card stop will be outside of the marina, that way we won't have to put up with the Blow Boaters BS, but nice to have a stop with fuel and nice marina near for mechanial issues, a little tough towing from Beaver Island

Good point on fuel and towing. Elk does have mid-grade fuel. Being towed from Beaver Island or idleing on one engine will make for a long day.
