This is a charity run for the Childrens Wish 2011.

Special thanks go out to Laurie Matiyek for this great video.

Great video. Some nice looking and great sounding boats!

looks like a great time!

wish it was longer, that was one of the better videos i have seen for poker runs, nice close up of the boats.

Running on flat water isn't that interesting to watch unless they're drag boats. Get some footage of these offshore boats running in offshore conditions like 4-6 footers so we can see how each hull handles the waves differently -- that's what they're designed for and it would be totally cool.

Yes for sure they work better on rough water...This was Just a fund raiser for the Wish foundation...Will try to get Laurie to do the 1000 island and the great lakes next year with us. Still we had a great time and a kids wish came true !!! Winter is comming up here so this will have to do for now...

Trying running up a river that gets as narrow as 50 feet at times, now try running that three wide.

Rice lake and the Ontonabee River are exciting enough with the 1-2' footers that turn up on the river and narrowness of the river, it gets really rough in a hurry if your at the back.

Yes for those of you that can remember. i was the one who put my 42 footer in the swamp up on shore after taking the s bend by Benford bridge in 2008.. Floating log dislodged from shore from the wakes....You have to be on the ball on this river for sure..Took 1 out of the 3 out drives clear off my boat lost my steering at 80 mph...... Had to swim to recover the unit.. Grounded the boat so it wouldn't sink... lol

Very cool video, great editing!
