Who's got the smallest boat in the Poker Run at Desert Storm this year

[Paul65K]

Well................apparently we do :yikes:

Here's the note I just received after DJunkie and I registered this weekend :drown:

Hello Paul,

My name is Eric Colby and I write for www.xxxxxx.com (http://www.performanceboats.com). I'd like to do an interview with you as the owner of the smallest entry in the upcoming Desert Storm Poker Run for an article. Why should the big expensive boats get all the attention? If you could please reply with your phone number. I am on East Coast time and can either do it around 12:30 my time during the day or maybe Thursday after work.


So what do you guys think about that?? :D

I agree! I want them to kick some 40+ foot boat ass! Takes a lot of cajones to get in there and I'm excited for them!

I'm going to make sure everyone I know at every stop gets a picture of them.

Oh......there was separate call on that one from Hustler.............something about writing an article about not needing to prove anything with the size of your boat :hilarious:

Hell yes, run it hard, more small boats need to enter - get back to the original idea behind the poker run. :thumbup:

Gotta really wanna be in the in the Poker Run to enter a smaller boat. Having a smaller, slower boat in a poker run makes me think of being out in Glamis and being in the slower sand rail in a pack. You get roosted with sand/dust the entire time and get the left over tore up path. I'd image being in a slow boat at Desert Storm would be nothing but mist in your face, boats hauling ass past you from a close distance and super choppy water. I'm sure it will still be fun, just a little challenging. I don't even like going down river following a couple boats that are tearing up the water. I'll shut it down and float.

We're in a Schiada. We got this. Lol

Djunkie, At least you will get the 1/4 mile holeshot!

Easily. Definitely could win the acceleration award. I can't wait to see the look on Paul's face when that thing gets up on the cam. Even Cole Trickle gave me the Holy Shit look when he experienced it. Lol

True! A 22 right? You'll plow through a lot of that rough water.:thumbsUp:

There's no way in hell I'd do it in either of my boats. My 19' would be out of gas before the 1st card stop if it didn't sink 1st and my 21 can barely handle the lake chop anyways.

It does surprisingly well in big water. Being a v-drive really helps to plow through it. But it will definitely scrub some speed if the water gets too big. Normally I can get on top of it and the boat will really fly pretty well. Too big and we become a barge.

How far is the distance from the start to the first card stop?

[rivergames]

Dude, you got this. Obviously you will take the holeshot. Then start zig zagging across the entire lake. The big boats will get freaked out, fall off plane and your gone. Plus it takes them 5 minutes to try and dock. The blue rocket will zip right in, grab the card and bone out (once again zig zagging across the lake)

Too bad it's not a jet boat so he could zig zag with a rooster tail up so they also can't see ahead!

A long ways. Lol

Drill and install 10 pickups on the cavitation plates with 45* fittings pointing backwards. When the boat is running, it will look like a water fountain shooting out of the back

Djunk needs to think outside the box to win this race... It's doable :happy:

10-40 min ;)

If you have it on the water Saturday and are up for a tag along I'd like to see this bad ass in action.

I would have to agree with this. And with that nifty little in and out box you have now, it will be no problem picking up the cards at the stop.
