are any of you going to make it to the 2008 poker run? i really want to go. i am planning on being there in the "budget starflight". im sure the budget will be blown by then. lol
 
I'd like to go, this will be the 4th year in a row i have tried to convince my wife to go. I should go, I am only 2hrs away and what an experience it would be.

Would a starliner work?

Would a starliner work for this trip? I know Merc245 said his starflight got a pretty beat up there. Just wondering if it makes any sense for a 21' open bow...
 
I'm sure I'll show up to the factory on Friday. Maybe if I can get mine to shine and get the interior done I might drag it over. I won't actually run it, it's a little small for the lake and PIB, might go up and watch everybody launch. Maybe try to catch a ride...

Its all about the water conditions once your out of Sandusky Bay. Last year after the open house I was able to put in at 4:00 pm and run the 15+ miles out to PIB at 35-40 mph taking about 30 minutes,I'm thinking it was going to be a great weekend. Saturday afternoon 12pm 4-5 footers on the way home.Taking well over 2 LONG hours to get back in to the bay.

Theres plenty to do and see without going out on the big water.:bounce:
 
Starliner no problem, I have had my starflite out on lake michigan at grand haven durring the coast guard festival and that was rough water, waves bigger than my boat but it was no big deal, can' go 70 but i held plane at a descent 24 mph, that's when driving becomes fun! mates can take it, I went airborne in my mx-15 en 4 footers every time the lake got rough, that was a wet and wild ride and the hull never had a problem.
 
Wish I could take the Enticer out for a ride there, but I'd like to keep it on TOP of the water! Would be cool to see the factory though. Drove right by Bucyrus in the middle of the winter- would have stopped except it was the middle of the night on a weekend. Just make sure you guys grab some good pics!
