Many of you have been asking about the the Rochester Offshore Powerboat Association's annual Seneca Lake Battleship Run. And the answer to your number one question is yes, there will be a run this year on the 3rd weekend in July - just like every year for the past 31 years. Think about that for a minute. What were you doing 31 years ago? Did you still have hair? (On your head, not your back.) Did you know what electronic fuel injection was? (Or even care.) Did you know what a "stepped hull" was? Did you think you'd ever see (multiple) large four stroke outboards scream past your big block 454's? Yes, a few things have changed in the past 31 years.

But one thing has not changed and will never change if the fine folks at ROPA have anything to say about it. And that one thing is a low key, family friendly great weekend of high performance boating on beautiful Seneca Lake. This 31 mile long lake has proved to be almost the perfect location with beautiful weather and great water, not to mention great accommodations and fine food. All we need is you to show up and enjoy the run!

Keep an eye on the ROPA website for more details and early registration specifics which will be coming very shortly:

Very Interested! is 93 octane available on the lake?

I'm pretty sure - but not positive - it's available at the south end of the lake in Watkins Glen.

Not sure about 93 but most sell the 91 ethanol free ,can always throw in some boost.

That works!

I’ll be there

Registration is open, but you'd better hurry up!
