Please also, I hope everyone has read this.

Registrants 51 – 65 will be located at the One Water Marina, four boats in each 80’ x 24’ well. The Boyne Thunder Committee and/or Harbormaster reserves the right to make changes to slip assignments based on the needs and logistics of the event.

I hope my comments weren't taken in a negative light, but I was severely frustrated at 3 am in the middle of the ocean.

May I respectfully request to be included in the registration process planning for next year?

While I'm not an IT genius, I have a clear idea of what may work and I think it is well along the lines of what others are thinking.

Locking down the slip needs to be step 1. Period. Otherwise you end up in a vicious circle.

Looking forward to another year, I'm sure it will work itself out, but we need to do better.

If you really want to fix it, you need to get Gov't involved....Let Michigan.Gov take care of it... :embarrassed-smiley1

Someone had posted this pic on FB. I was laughing, that was the first year of the Boyne Thunder Street Show. They asked me to put some cars in front of the Red Mesa. I parked 5 cars I think on the street ,from my Fathers car collection.

What about raising the sponsorship to 5000 min and limit it to the first 20? That would free up another 20 docks. Unfortunately if it progresses and you basically have to be a sponsor to even get a slip then you will be left with only sponsors running it. The guys that have been there from the beginning that have done the run but can't swing a sponsorship will end up not running the event. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Recon mission last night... no boats at the marina, tons of room....

Make it $10k for sponsor...

Nortech, let's make a deal. I'll sign up as a regular person next year and you loan me a boat for the weekend for about 1/10 what it would cost you to be a sponsor.

That is unfortunate... so I am guessing that means you are on the waitlist or did you manage to get in??
