    Not really about how fast, more about how dependable. There will be boats in the 30ft range. My friend did it in a 28 Saber last year. It's a blast, go for it. Make sure you walk into town after the run!

    Your boat would be fine,I have a 29ft Powerquest and have been a safety boat at Beaver Island for the last 4 years,last year I lucked out and got the closer post.If the seas are to bad you can stay in Lake Charlevoix and get your cards anyway.

    Not so much, my friend.
    But I wouldn't start a season with a poker run. If I have the chance to shake it down some ahead of time, that would be fine. More concerned about how the boat would perform than me, and that ain't as much wussy as "been there done that" with an older resto boat.
    Seems like an awesome run tho. Would love to experience it.

    I feel my boat is very dependable, but I am pushin about 700 hp to my B1drives which I have blew up a couple times. If I am nice to them they should be fine I think.

    Where do you do most of your boating? I was unable to do alot of boating last year, I plan on making up for it this year if the funds hold up.

    What hotel does everyone stay at, or do most just crash on the boat. My wife will probably want a hotel.

    If you just need a clean room,the Boyne City Motel is a simple place and clean.The motel is a couple blocks from city marina and 4 blocks from city ramp.If your coming for Boyne Thunder call soon for your reservation.

    I have great boat storage,when you plug your camper into my garage do not turn the air on it blows my breakers.The marina is across the street from my house,but the indoor bed rental is very,very high!Might need gas money by July,the price may come down.

    No problem,plug it in.Just don't turn on the air.Just got my buddies camper out of the yard a few weeks ago,he was coming up from GR staying in it for skiing.The gas heat was fine,as soon as he tried to turn on the electic heater so I could pay to heat his camper,oh sure,the breaker blew.So there Wrinkleface,there is my camaraderie. All is good!
