I 'll wait to make sure my rig is running right before I would commit but I think it would be a great run. If you really want a good showing. Ask like a 50 or 100.00 registration fee. This will incourage participation. Then buy some PQ Gear with the money and dole out upon arrival - Just an Idea. Ray

Hey count me and my wife in! Sounds like a great idea. I'm up for anytime and any place. Who do I send the deposit to! This is real exciting being the fact it's Feb. Two more months till it's time to get wet!

I would be happy to do the collection and organize the route/stops.
I was checking PQ's web site for shirts, for $50 - 100$ we could hand out a nice polo shirt and/or t-shirt for two people on each boat.
What are thoughts on time of year?

Hey Vyper96,
Like your travel schedule, but my wife and I have some concerns about the overnite stops. Do you know if there are any shower facilities? We have a 28 Silencer and am also concerned about keeping pace with the 34 and 38's during the run. The trip sounds awesome, but keep us smaller PQ's into consideration. Thanks, Rick & Debi

Scheuer10...All the stops will have Showers and restrooms. I've been to all of them overnight. You shouldn't have any problems staying with everyone. This won't be like a poker run. I imagine everyone cruising between 50-60mph with some guys hammering the throttle once and awhile for some fun dualing. Especially the 38's. And if the lake is rough in certain spots, you can pull behind one of the bigger boats and ride the wake. I've even done that coming back in 12' of Lake Erie crap. Makes for a smoother, but slower ride.
Based on the rough schedule below, this would be the approx mileage
Friday:
Leave Metro Beach, Michigan to Cedar Point. Go on rides and stay night. 95 Miles
Saturday:
This could be run day. Leave CP, cruise by Put-n-Bay on way to downtown Toledo, Ohio for early lunch at the many resturaunts. 58 Miles
After lunch, head to Gull Island (Lake St. Clair) for rafting and a little swim/party. Leave Gull Island (@ 5-6pm) and 3 possibilities: 80 Miles
1. Head north to Port Huron for dinner and stay night and docks. 38 Miles
2. Head north to Port Huron for dinner and back to Metro Beach to stay night (this is a great evening ride down the river at @ 60mph). Not a lot of traffic and usually the water is glass. 42 Miles
3. Head to Beach Grill (south of Metro Beach) for dinner and night life. Then take a night cruise back to Metro Beach (about 8-9 miles) 20 Miles

As far as wearing appearl...I ran into this person at the Miami boat show..he could do "T"s and/or polos for a lot less. They do custom embroidery www.myboatsign.com
Worth while checking it out...could be a lot cheaper than the manufactures prices
