It was a great weekend. Hopefully there can be some tweaking for next year and we can get back to the larger size this event had in the past. Unitl then, see all of you at Lake Lanier in July.

I thought the turn out was fine. Good size run with a lot of really nice boats. About 50 came. We had a great time, made some new friends, had good food, almost didn't rain and didn't break anything. Doesn't get any better.

Just got off the phone with Kevin and told him to read this thread.
Over the years Kevin has made many boaters day by getting their boats running so they could be in the run. I have seen him loan and install drives on boats so they could run.
We always try to have a couple of people that can provide emergency service to the boaters.
Kevin has been with the run all 11 years helping people to launch and retreive their boats and doing what it takes to make sure everyone has a great time.

Me and the GF had a blast at this run.
This was my first time in this event and really enjoyed myself and the people that attended and planned the Run. I have to give the biggest thanks to Peter (paradox) for letting us join him him on his beautiful 33' Avanti, I can't say enough good things about him.
I can say for 100% that we will be back for this run every year that they continue to put it on. They hosted a well run event, the food and stops were great, and the people were amazing. We are new to powerboating and currently buying our first "go fast". This event as a whole just put the final nail into the deal and we will be back for next year and every year after.
Thank you to all who helped make this a great weekend to remember.

This was my first FPC run and had a great time for sure meeting and hanging out with everyone. I'm sure Stu and the rest will get this run back up because it is a great venue and they sure do know how to run an event. The attendance might have been down form years past but I bet the enthusiasm wasn't and the quality of boats was awesome to see.
I have several pics that the wife is editing today so stay tuned...

Would love to but we have a run in Knoxville and Nashville the two weeks before and three weekends in a row is tough! We will definitely put the Lanier run on our schedule for next summer! Thanks for the good times! We are going to Lake Cumberland in June and Destin in August so I hope to see you guys there!
