[Lubejobs42]

[NO MERCY]

+1 ... this is an awesome run! 4 days of non-stop fun, and always brings out an amazing display of performance boats !

It keeps getting better every year and I know Bill Sr. has even more suff planned for this year and he is expecting the turnout to be as good as ever!

He really doesnt miss anything - Awesome parties, great food, live music, excellent docking, beautiful hotel within walking distance (or stumbling ), nice t-shirts, helicopter photography and video, poker run village display - EVERYTHING!

This run is unique in that everything is centrally located, you know you wont be missing out on any of the fun. (hotel, dock and parites all within short walking distance) Great water for boating! The fast start is absolutely thrilling ! The fast cats are always laying down big numbers to the first stop! The poker run course and stops are a ton of fun, with the lunch stop being one of the highlights of the event.

All types and sizes and of boats are invited and will be in attendance! From center consoles, to 20' performance boats, to 200mph cats, no one is left out and its equally fun for everybody.

For those that have been to this run, you know how much fun it is ... for those considering it, I can guarantee the Bill and his staff will make sure you have a great experience. We will help you with everything from where to launch your boat, docking, hotel shuttle, trailer parking ect.

Contact Bill through the website, phone or email...

and if anyone needs anything before or during the event or have any questions, just call me !

Last year was our first year to participate and even with the rain we had an absolute blast....unfortunately it is the same weekend as my daughter's graduation...if not for that I would be booking my hotel now

[DollaBill]

Just booked it. Can't wait

[VetteLT193]

How long is the run? Speeds? Based on the pictures I'm not sure if I can hang in there :ack2:

Any kids go?

Docking? We just stayed at that Hyatt and it looked like there is public docks right there... Also, knowing how crappy the parking is, where do you store the boat/trailer? Had a hard time navigating the Lincoln through the parking garages.

I'll order more goose:ack2:

Run is up the St John's river so the water is never rough. I have brought my kids (age 4+7) at the time. The PR is fine but theh nightlife is not for kids!

I have seen 20 ft Baja's all the way up to 50+ footers with 3,000 HP!

The public docks out in front of the landing have been used in the past and they have also used the floating docks in front of the stadium as well. The parking is down the street at a park (guarded at night). F650's are more common than F150's at this run and parking is never an issue.

[DollaBill]

I'll order more goose:ack2:

LOL. Damn, remember that?? We literally drank the place dry. That was a he!! of a weekend. I just found out I can't make Miami for the Bimini race so this is a def.

All speeds... the run is essentially a loop south on the river from the host hotel/dock/landing. You can definetly hang... theres only a few boats that tear out way ahead. and thats only for the first leg. everyone goes to the stops and to lunch together!

People bring kids all the time ! The nightlife late does get pretty eventful after their bedtime though. :bump:

We have secured parking for your trucka nd trailer, and a shuttle to run you back and forth from the hotel whenever you need.

Like I stated in the above post, we will help you with all of your docking needs as well. There are a few different options. Each of which will be safe for you boat and convenient for you.

[Wild]

im in, then the bimini race the next weekend, just booked havasu also

[Cash Bar]

Geez Randy. Did you get divorced? :willy_nilly::sifone:

I agree! We never miss this run or KW. We are usually the fastest fishing boat on the run.:driving: We always have the largest crew! This run is a blast!

[Bertram38]

How many miles total is this run.
Thanks

[DollaBill]

Thanks
B38:driving:

Alot. PM GatorOne. I'm sure he knows the exact #

[gatorone]

Around 180 miles on sat

[Bertram38]

Looks like I need bigger fuel tanks. or add two more. Does a person have time to fill there boat up while in the run with 93 Octane, I see only black creek is the only 93. How far from start to black creek ramp, I may be able to swing that with 110 gl is all I have, so roughly I can go 80 miles on 110gls of 93 octane. hmmmm, let me figure this out.

Thanks all for the info.
B38:iamwithstupid::sifone:

[gatorone]

about halfway ..you will be fine on 110 gals unless you hammer it the entire way

B38:iamwithstupid::sifone:

They have had fuel trucks at the lunch stop (Outback Crabshack) in years past. With all that big hardware there, 93 fuel shouldn't be a problem for you.

[Bertram38]

Ahh that would be great if I could fill up at the lunch stop. Is that forsure on the crab shack, cause i will bank on that then instead of black creek.
B38:seeya:

[mcraymond3]

I don't remember fuel at lunch stop. Did I miss something?

[JupiterSunsation]

I don't remember fuel at lunch stop. Did I miss something?

It was a fuel truck with a hose wedged between the restaurant and the bridge the years I was there....

[Cash Bar]

No fuel at OB the last 2 years, but it is nearby in another cove. I'm sure someone with local knowledge will chime in.

That explains it. Three years ago we didn't make it to the lunch stop and I didn't think that I had seen a fuel truck the last two years. Heck, last year it rained so hard you couldn't see anything.

[Cash Bar]

this local knowledge:willy_nilly:

It's gotta be exhausting swinging from GatorOne's johnson all day. :willy_nilly::eek::leaving:

The place we stopped at 2 years ago had fuel. Can you remember the name?

[Bertram38]

Any l;uck with the Name for fuel, I hope it is 93 Octane.

[DollaBill]

I only remember it being on the left side of the river on the way back from the lunch stop. It's a VERY narrow canal entrance. I remember b/c I was driving a 51 OL w/ 1075's on one motor LOL.

ok, Deal. Twelve drinks. :sifone:

[DollaBill]

is there a list of boats yet?

[formulabill]

On friday, after the fun run there will be a fuel truck at Ortega Landing. That is the Hooters card stop and pool cool down from last year. This location is on the way back to Metro park and will be easy to get for topping off for the Saturday run. 93 octane will be on the truck.

When you leave the docks you are looking straight downtown.

[Bertram38]

sounds like a plan. who hoo.
B38:driving:

[ItsPeanut]

Any news on a preliminary list of the turnout?

[Lubejobs42]

I can't wait. I love this run Bill Sr. does such a great job!!!!
Hopefully it will be a lot less "exciting" then last year!!!:boxing_smiley::)

[DAREDEVIL]

If i get a person to jump in the boat with me ..i may be there !!!

Never did a poker run , so i think this would be the time !!!!:eek:

[Cash Bar]

This would definitely be the one to do since you're racing during the KW run.

[waterboy222]

Any 110 on the run or do you have to bring it with you?

- or convenient places to stop and put 110 in somewhere between OK and FL? lol

[gatorone]

[McGary911]

Since the Donzi is in NJ, I can't do much go fast stuff, but can likely be on the river to watch on my friend's boat.

I figure a good place to see the boats at full rip is between the landing and Julington Creek. Is there a spot in there that's good for us spectators?

Us jealous spectators..... ;)

[NO MERCY]

Kick Off After Party, Thursday night late after the Street Party. If you made it to the Ivy last year, you know what your in for! If you didn't, you wont want to miss it this year!

Not shutting down Bay street this year. It was a blast last year

[ItsPeanut]

Is their still gonna be a display in front of the Hyatt?

[formulabill]

From the Hyatt to the landing will be displays.

Thursday night there will be two bands playing. One by the hotel and the other at the landing. Harley is also going to do a bike night with us that night. There will be $$$$ millions of dollars worth of toys between the Hyatt and the landing for you to look at . Bring a little cash in case you get hungry or thirsty, there will be bars and food on the street.

[Jeff Helmkamp]

I cannot wait, only 4 days til I'm there!

[ItsPeanut]

Anybody got room on a boat for one?

[ItsPeanut]

The weather looks like its going to cooperate this year. Where is all the excitement and chatter about the run. This wknd is better than christmas and my bday combined so somebody please give me the gift of the century mark.

[PBAM22]

i 10 east bound im on my way larry:driving:

[Bertram38]

All my crew the pulled the plug this week .I Feel bad knowing i can not do the run.
But I will show up at least and join the party after. I will be on the water eirly Sat' morning. Sorry, I can not do the poker run.
What would a guy do without friends, maybe better in my case.
Never believe in your friends, because disapointment is around the corner.
