Actually if you launch @ Vets park and run south to Saginaw you can run wide open just past the middlegrounds. Very fun run just nothing to look at. If you dont mind a 45 minute run to the bay going north it's alot better way to go IMO. then you have the whole bay to play in if the winds are ok. Let me know some time and we can meet up @ state park and have a beer!!

The pics is my buddy in his 2004 26' Baja trying to keep up just south of the Z-Bridge

We are a Boston Whaler dealer, Gas hasn't been a problem YET!!! But we have only launched 6 boats so far. I feel it is going to be bad. I have spent a few hours of my own on the mighty Kawkawlin, If you ever get back this way let me know and I'll buy you a beer!! We just rented a house on Torch @ the sandbar for the week of July 12-19 so I'm pretty excitied to get to stay there and boat for a week straight!! Higgins is still my favorite of all time. The Saginaw is my never fails run always though. Keep in touch. Justin :pirate:

O and beautiful looking pachanga there pachanga22. The blue ones were always my favorite color. I love the lines on them.

Thank you very much, I have stuck alot of time and $$$ getting her back into shape!! I got lucky and this boat fell into my lap, blue was the color of choice for me too.
 
I use to make that run to saginaw when I had my Senza in bay city during my tween season- I was attending CMU at the time, had an uncle who was officer at The uSCG station. So I kept my boat right there at the station for 2 falls and 2 springs!

Definitly a fun area up there!
 
my 91 22, the only pictures I have are the day I picked her up, before I started tearing into her. basically before the repaint of the drive, the wet sanding and polishing, deck repair, new upholestry, stripping of the rear vinyl stripes, acid wash, and prop change.....other then that nothing's changed, only another savings account and about 2 more years and It should be "done" :confused1 :laugher:

oh and I'm one of those wierdo's that runs a warmed over SBC instead of the 454 :blush:

Elvis!! Oh man I cracked up when I saw that. I'm a pretty big Vice fan myself. Heck, I bought the sunglasses that Colin Farrell wears in the movie. :cool: :laugher: I would be really interested in this MV poker run. You'll have to post some info on it as August approaches.

I will post it as soon as we set it in stone. feel free to email me at cirrhosisoftheriver222@yahoo.com and I will add you to the address book for the invites, also gives us a head count for snacks and jello shots!!!
