The Desert Storm Poker Run 2019 festivities actually start out with a street party on April 25th. Join thousands of people as they flood downtown Havasu with food, music, and a display of the boats participating in the weekend's run. Then, after a parade of boats through the Channel on Friday morning, the poker run begins. Boaters race to several locations around the lake to pick up different playing cards to make their best five-card hand. Winners receive some fantastic prizes.
Desert Storm Shootout 2019
On Saturday, April 27th, the Shootout storms the lake. Two-person teams go head-to-head against other racers along a specified course beginning at the Site Six Launch Ramp. Spectators can bring out blankets and/or chairs to watch the racing commence. Anywhere along the bluffs from Site Six to Spectator Point provide awesome vantage points to watch the race.

Is the new 28' Skater getting outboards or I/O setup? Hard to tell if the hatches are big enough for big blocks?
