Re: who's going to Knoxville?
Sorry to see that happen Jeff. I guess my hand with a pair of eights was twice as good as yours 
Did you end up getting pulled all the way back to the dam or did you pull out somewhere else?

Re: who's going to Knoxville?
Had a Blast.
A little bit of water never hurt anybody.
I had alot of fun with the new boat but the limits of a 28 foot boat were very appearant. I have a 100 mph boat and really never saw above 80-85 because of all the chop.
I did get some air a couple of times, a 50 foot cruiser and 40 mph will get you about 5-10 feet of air.
I was somewhat dissappointed the way everybody got so strecthed out. I only saw 1/10 of the boats after the third card stop.
It was great meeting some of you guys from M. Tn. and finally putting some faces with the names.
May be the first time and the last that I beat Nashvillebound to the last stop.
With the rates SEa Tow charged I am thinking about a different line of work.
Sorry about the drive, good luck with the repair.
Be well guys and thanks again for a good time.

Re: who's going to Knoxville?
Good shots Chris, I added a few to the thread as well. Thanks to all of those that made it from Middle Tennessee. Too bad we could not have had better weather, but at least we only had a little rain during the run.

Re: who's going to Knoxville?
Despite a little excitement getting to Knoxville (storms/crashes/ detours/etc) 
, it was a great weekend of boating with everyone.
Thanks RB for the drive oil and blower packaging!
Thanks Quent Byerly for the nice ride Friday evening in your
badass Lavey tunnel.
John Johannes really has this Poker Run put together well.
I'm already looking forward to next year.........like Arnold says,
"I'll be back!"

Steve
