NATIONAL POWERBOAT ASSOCIATION


As we continue with our annual powerboat event schedule on Long Island Sound, we will run the GLEN COVE POWERBOAT POKER RUN on September 20th with a $2,500.00 Purse. The run is headquartered and hosted by Steamboat Landing Restaurant, Glen Cove, NY.

Five cash prizes will be awarded: $1,250.00 for 1st, $500.00 for 2nd, $250.00 for 3rd, 4th, and 5th each respectively. Additional Trophies will be presented for “King of the Sound Navigators” for Cats and V’s, “Best Looking Boat”, and “Best Looking Crew”.

Boats will arrive on Friday, September 19th and we will have an “a la Carte” Party on Friday Night with an Award’s Party (included in your entry fee) for Saturday Afternoon which will include food, soda, beer, and wine…and a lot of “talk” about the run I am sure. The entry fee is only $400.00 and you get 2 hands in the game and 2 tickets for the Saturday afternoon Award’s Party. Additional tickets will be available for $20.00 each and additional hands are available at $100.00 each.

We will fly the helicopter for videos and photos.

So lets all go to the boat race to support the participants on August 24th and then rally to the GLEN COVE POWERBOAT POKER RUN on September 20th and show them how the Powerboat Poker Runners’ do it!

hi billy,
what's the route/stops? i'm pulling the big 4-0 on the 30th, never done a run...just been a spectator, but the price/location and distance all seem perfect for my little rumrunner and midi-life ponderings...please advise.
thanks
chris

Chris, PM me your e mail address and I will send you the attachment with the stops. I think there were 3...Dolfins Cove in Bridgeport, a Blue Trawler in Oyster Bay and one that escapes me at the moment. I think the run is about 70 miles. I also have the entry form. I may do this run this year. I had parked my Scarab at the Bport harbor entrance the last 2 years....
