Default Nov 4-10 Miami to Key West Poker Run Festival
Hi everyone, just wanted to keep you updated...

Florida Powerboat Club's Key West Poker Run has 140 registered teams!!! With 4 weeks until the event. I still have rooms & dockage if you have not already booked.

The personalized t-shirts are being ordered next week.

We have a new Title Sponsor this year - FAST TRAC Transportation from TX
http://www.fasttractrans.com/DNN/

We all know how this economy has affected the boating industry, and we are thankful that this company has decided to become involved with FPC / Key West Poker Run.

Most of the leading companies in the performance marine trade will also be returning as sponsors!

Just call us if you have any questions about the event.
954-545-1414

Thanks,
Jackie

I will be in Key West as a spectator and was wondering where and when the fleet will be arriving in Key West. I would like to be at the docks for this.

We've had numerous 25 foot boats over the years. Airship Rib R8 27' from Norway is in the lead. This year we have a few under 32', and about 6 center consoles registered.

Nor-Tech's new 80' is attending, by far the largest participant! But that is not what you asked about, is it...

The run is inside with the exception of the last 30 miles from Sunshine key south. Fuel is the biggest concern of small boaters. Most boats fuel at Sunshine Key but if you run a big block with a small tank you will have to fuel at Gilberts first, then maybe top off at Sunshine.
