    From what I have heard its one of the best runs to do. I don't know anybody who does it from the City. Get ahold of Boat Freak he does the run and says its a blast! Like you
    said its a long drive.

    I towed my 37AT up to Chicago a few years ago. It's not a bad drive at all. It can be done in a day.

    How far is your drive? I'm less than 2 hours away, but would drive 10 ,12. Its a great run especially if your in the AT family.
    I towed to Jacksonville last year 13 hours, but had more fun at JOTJ. Just my 2 cents.

    So its a poker run? I thought those were for bigger boats, my 25` gets knocked around quite a bit and Im still learning how to drive it.
    Usually I dread the 6hr. drive to the UP, 14hrs in car would give me nightmares

    When is it anyway, I`ve been sitting on my ass for the last 5 weeks with this torn ACL/MCL/bone contusion.. surgery is in 2 weeks then another 3 months before I`m good to go.. I`ll be living in the boat by then with not being able to work all this time.
    Being self employed really sucks sometimes..

    Edit, I found out when it is.. and they split up the boats , big boys go first.. it sounds like a blast. I`ll have to see how the next couple months go

    Don't let the size of your boat hold you back from doing the run. I did it with no issues in a 223 Formula seven years ago. It's on a river, so rough water generally isn't a problem. It's a fun poker run....but be ready to partay!!!

    Go to the Richmond Power Boat Assoc. website: http://richmondpowerboat.com
    It starts in Hopewell just south of Richmond, VA and runs down the James River to Tidewater Yacht Club in Portsmouth, VA

    This is a great run. We have made the haul there two years in a row and it is a haul. It's not t.hat big of a deal if you can make a big weekend out of it. I wouldn't worry about having a 25 as like they said it is a river and you won't have to worry about rough water.
