bay city poker run

[boatme]

In 2000 I ran my Black Thunder in the “Bay City Poker Run” It was covered by Powerboat Magazine. Attached is the article that was done on us and the event

The run was fun but had a couple of issues with one of the stops (Too shallow for many to enter the channel) After this event I decided to talk to my friend Bob about starting our own event . It started the wheels running to get Smoke On The Water Poker Run going the next year

Bay city can be a fun place to run out of but as was stated Accommodations are a bit sparse. But then again we stayed on the boat

This is one of the main reasons we are interested in starting this poker run out of Bay City. There are shallow areas of the Saginaw Bay, mainly near small rivers and marina inlets which we will steer clear of. We are hoping to attract all types of boats and want all boaters not to have to worry one bit of water depth. With a well planned course this should be the last thought in the head.
