Can’t wait. BEST RUN OF THE YEAR BY FAR. Trucking all the way from Syracuse NY again

Looked at a couple of videos and of course they all show the big fast boats. My question is do many smaller slower boats do this run ? I have a 20 foot bow rider that cruises at 30mph.

Come on down!!! Lots of boats your size locally do it along with some from out of town, this is a laid back, do at your own pace and schedule/order run. You have 3 days to get to all the stops, hang out and enjoy yourselves!! Make the trip, buy a hand or three..etc our local charities and businesses will definitely appreciate it!!

You wont be disappointed!!!!

its a good mix really. have a good bit of party barges, wake boats, bow riders etc. you have just as much chance to win as a guy in a 50' sportboat and will be treated the same when you walk in the fun house. like to say we are on jimmy buffet time around here for the run. we don't care if it takes you all three days to run it.

The actual boating isnt even half the fun of this event.

They do it right down there !!!

I think thats all I can legally say about it on the internet LOL

Awesome thanks for the quick responses. Sounds the 7-8 hour tow is well worth it.

Absolutely. its 12 hours for us.
