Desert Storm, Run it, or watch it

My perspective is a bit different as there is NO WAY I would tow that far and NOT run it!

That said, II have no interest in running up front during the poker run (too much testosterone and not enough brain cells), but if they have a radar run you can bet I will find out how fast she will go!

They have the shootout on Saturday.

Can't wait hope the boat is ready!!!

Attended for 6 years watching on the sidelines. Registered last year and ran the poker run and attended all events (Thursday through Sunday). Wife said she had more fun last year then the 6 years before that. Register before Feb 1, price goes up after the first.

I've run DS and MB. The water DS was way rougher than MB! My little 27 was getting worked. Both were a blast though and I'd run again in a heart beat.

I say we get a group of regular sized boats from HB and all run together

Color me crazy, but I am actually thinking about registering in the poker run part of it. Sounds like fun, and we would get out there early so we could do the charity boat rides on Weds and party a little with whoever we run into. So the question is, would this(our) boat be a good boat to run in DS?? Or is it too small?

You can do it. Also win some good cash.

Keep in mind the water is very choppy. Last year I was in a 33 foot boat and we felt the chop.

YES! It looks about the same size as my boat. The biggest mistake I made last year, was that I screwed up and registered I the wrong (too fast) class. I was with 40'+ outerlimits, and other giant boats. I got the hole shot and had smooth water all the way to site 6. That's about when the big guys caught me... After that, it was like the perfect storm if I was smart, I would have chilled for a bit and let the water calm back down, but I just went for it.

Last year for MB, I ran with Throttle (Cameron) and a few other similar sized boats.

That's why I thought it would be fun to do it this year as a group with similar sized boats. Maybe we could get HB stickers made up, or something like that.

Who's down?

Well, it's more than that...I have never done anything like this before. Is there a class for folks who just want to run the course and get cards but not haul ass? I would like to be in it, but I am not about speed, just about having fun and collecting cards...is there a class for that??? Also, the boat is a 25' bowrider....not sure this is the thing for a bowrider if the waves are that big....hmmmm.....

Just sign up for the 45-65 class. Don't give it another thought! My tube is a 27' open bow, and it did great. Never had water in the boat/nothing over the bow. I may have over exaggerated. It was rough, but because we were trying to run fast. I've been on Mojave and Meed in way worse. The difference is that I didn't have it pinned the whole time. You'll be fine, and have a blast.
