Lake Havasu Boat Show & Desert Storm

[Havasuing]

Hope some of you will consider making a trip out to the 2013 Lake Havasu Boat Show and Desert Storm Poker Run. The Boat Show is April 19-21 and Desert Storm (Street Party, Poker Run and Shoot-Out) starts a couple of days later, April 24-27. The Havasu Boat Show has more high performance boats than any boat show west of Miami and Desert Storm is the hands-down biggest and best poker run and shoot-out in the Southwest. If you haven't attended, please put it on your "to-do" list.

Thanks for the welcome -- looks like the makings of a great boating site. I encourage anyone and everyone to make it to Havasu for the Boat Show and Desert Storm -- 9 continuous days of intense high performance boating (April 19-27). As for the Boat Show, it also has a first-class car show (Legends by the Lake), high speed water ski racing (over 100 mph on a ski, participants trying to qualify for the USA Team at the World Championships in Spain later this year), and an ICS sanctioned Homestyle Chili Cook-Off and Salsa Competition (winner qualifies for the World Chili Championship in Palm Springs this October). It's a guaranteed fun time!

Anyone else from the East coast headed out??

Accommodations in Lake Havasu for the Boat Show/Desert Storm week gets tight very quickly. I've heard that the Nautical Beachfront Resort is sold out which isn't a surprise. If you're still looking, try the London Bridge Resort, the Heat, or the Islander -- all three near the hub of the activity. Or you can go to the Boat Show website, http://www.lakehavasuboatshow.com and click on "Do/Eat/Stay" for a list of hotels and motels in the immediate area. You might also want to consider renting a house for the week which might be more economical -- most major real estate agents in town (Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, REMax Properties, etc.) all deal in short term rentals. Guaranteed, it's worth the trip!

Also King's View condos. That's where we scored a nice place that's right on the channel.

I am planning on being there.

If you're curious about who will be exhibiting at the 2013 Lake Havasu Boat Show, April 19-21, a partial/working list of exhibitors has been posted on the boat show website at http://lakehavasuboatshow.com/index.php/exhibitor-listing/ Definitely shaping up as another great boat show, especially for high performance boats and equipment. Everybody is invited -- please attend if you can.

We'll be headed back up there for the eve of 28th before flying out 29th. Trying to decide where to stay. We got a couple of offers from places but thinking of trying something new.

Yeah, that is Kenny Mongles.He is switching plans and is going to the Biloxi poker run.His 32 skater is the old raceboat "Gone Again".

[DBOMB]

I made it in 08 and volunteered. Jim and the whole lake Raccer family put on a class act show. That was the year that "PREDATOR" got loose in the cove when some scum bag stole it's sand spike. A couple wet people and a soaked cell phone and we got it back to the beach.:1bounce

I love that boat also. I got some nice pictures of it from the helicopter drifting and during his speed run. I haven't had a chance to go through them yet.

[RogerThat99]

Not a great picture of it, but a picture of it. LOL.
