[JaxOutlaw]

I wanted to but it's the same weekend as the daytona run.

[JaxOutlaw]

Now I'm not sure which one to go to? Hartwell or Daytona

[AMBUSHER]

Hartwell is a great run on a beautiful lake. Very laid back

[JaxOutlaw]

Where is everybody staying? If i go i want to stay somewhere on the water in available.

[AMBUSHER]

last year we stayed at the Days Inn in Anderson SC which is right behind Charlie T's where everybody hangs out friday night. I dont know of any hotels on the water.

[Pleasure Times]

I too stay at the Days Inn during the event, There is the Lake Hartwell Inn in Clemson, SC, they had docks in the past but I haven't checked on their condition since the last time I stayed there 3-4 years ago.

Other than that there are serveral hotels in the Anderson area.

[JaxOutlaw]

I might just end up looking into the days inn. I was told the cabin are a good ways from the start point. I take it there is a ramp near by?

[AMBUSHER]

About a 10 minute ride.

[JaxOutlaw]

Not bad. Let me talk to the Boss about it.

[1bigfountain]

If my boats done I will definitely be there! The "boss" said we could go if the boats good! This has been the longest project of my life. We are supposed to be testing next week!

[Spectre Sonny]

Trying to decide between Hartwell and Smith Mountain lake. They are the same weekend. Ultimately the weather will decide.

[bulletproof]

i may make it..how many boats are registered so far??

[Spectre Sonny]

Bullet Proof-No registration required. Looks like twelve so far.

[36outlaw]

We are signed up and starting to get ready to go. Who all from the Charlotte area is planning on going down and back on saturday ? Maybe we can meet arround Gaffney and travel together.

[Steel Outlawed]

i may make it..how many boats are registered so far??

There will be 100 - 120 boats once it's said and done.

[36outlaw]

hope you make it steel. I havent seen you since last year. We have to represent the OUTLAW croud.

[Mr. Nauti]

We were going again, but found out Friday that my next day off will be sometime in mid to late June!!:ev1l danc :ev1l danc :ev1l danc

I wish the weather was going to be better.

[36outlaw]

Hey Steel where are you going to put in ? Seems like it was a town called Portman last year. I was with the group from the club last year. I dont think I can find it on my on. Looks like I'm the only one going down Saturday. Do you know it well enough to give me some directions ?

[Steel Outlawed]

No problem, we are going down Friday and staying on the boats.

Portman marina is what you are looking for.

Take I-85 South to exit 14

Go to the stop sign and take a right. If you need fuel there is a good gas station just across the interstate.

Contuinue straight until you get to the red light.

Go through the red light and follow that road until you get to a right turn at the guard shack. Pay the attendant the follow the road to the ramp.

If you have and problems give me a call on my cell 864-420-4832

[36outlaw]

thanks thats great. The directions make sence as to what I remember from last year. What time are you shooting for to be in the water. I would like to meet up with some people I know. It would be alot more fun than running arround by myself.

[Steel Outlawed]

We should be at Portman by 8:00 - 8:30

[36outlaw]

wow that early.......... Ok well if I want someone to run with make it happen huh. Look for Royal Fare. My 1st poker run with it but you will know me when you see me. I had the 272 last year.

[Steel Outlawed]

I know exactly who you are. Looking forwad to seeing you again.

Have a safe trip down.

[johnlomant]

We have 3 or 4 boats coming from atlanta in our crew. I think we will be in the water around 10 oclock. btw we are staying at the hilton across from charlie t's.
$89 a night.

[Dave1]

We need to set up a rallying point at Charlie-T's for the BF group.

[johnlomant]

[JaxOutlaw]

I'll be heading down Saturday morning with my 22 and should be at Portman's around 8 am.
I know Carolina Boat Center is coming with a new 35ZR picture below and I believe the factory will also be bringing a new 38ZR.

Great Pictures. I'll have some to post as well. We had an awesome time! Weather was great and there was good variety of hot looking boats there.

[36outlaw]

We had a great but short trip. I lost the coil on the port motor and had to limp back to the dock 7 miles on one engine. There were some awesome boats down there. Im jelous you got to ride on the big Donzi. My camera worked worse than my boat did I thought I took about 30 pictures, but I only got 3.

I enjoyed my ride with Steel Outlaw and nice meeting you for the 1st time Doc Holiday. We had a good showing for Team Baja. I hope to have a little longer ride next time.

[AMBUSHER]

great pics, thanks.

[Rated R]

My son was the one that rode half the day on the ZR and took all those pics.

Im jelous you got to ride on the big Donzi.

[Dave1]

We had a great day on the water Saturday, but a pair of 9's doesn't go very far these days. I got to meet Steeled Outlaw and see Dock again. We hooked up with them at the T-60 after getting a late start to change out the batteries in the Baja Boss 272 Dock's original Baja. We were going to run up to Clemson with the pack, but my son let his cap blow off and we had to drop back to retrieve it. After we completed the salvage of the cap there wasn't a rooster tail in sight. Navigating the chop and wakes behind two Outlaws and the several beak boats will keep you on your toes. Since there was no way we could catch back up to the pack we finished up on the South end and checked our hands in about 3:00 PM. I was sorry that we didn't get to meet any of the other guys. We need to put up a Boat Freaks Banner, or something, at the card check in next year so that we can put faces with names.

Who was solo in the red Donzi 22 (I don't think it was an 18) Classic. You don't see many solid red ones and only a few with a windshield. We got some pretty good air a few times negotiating the wakes to find a running lane so I know he spent some air time. I miss my Sweet 16 sometimes, but not the fact that you worked your a$$ off driving that puppy.

That was me with the 22...I had a great time running between stops and enjoyed my first visit to Lake Hartwell.

SWEET!

[Wayne Irwin]

There sure were a lot of nice boats there at this run. I have the fever for a go fast boat now. We went down and rode with some friends that live on the lake but we were in a slow boat.

I got a few pictures of some of you guys hanging out early in the morning.

Let me see if I know how to make these some up.

Is this your boat?

[Wayne Irwin]

We were at the Hartwell Marina when a lot of boats arrived and I did notice and comment to my friends that the boats in your group were wearing PFD's.

I remember another boat like yours with an American flag on the front all the way from Arizona and one similiar to yours with the same colors and everyone had their PFD on.

Nice job

[Wayne Irwin]

Here's a boat that I was told came up from Florida.

[Wayne Irwin]

This Donzi had water coming out the side.

Not sure about the size but it was big.

[Wayne Irwin]

This was one very fast boat. Not sure what it is but it was quick.

[Wayne Irwin]

Here's a lot of boats coming back to portman at the end of the day to open their cards.

[36outlaw]

Yea, thats me thanks for the pictures you do good work. Our club has been pushing to wear pfds more. You never know when something may happen.

Thank you, glad I had a couple of your boat. What does the boat name stand for?

[36outlaw]

"Royal" is for purple and the royal flush I hope to get at all the poker runs we go to. "Fare" means for enjoyment and consumption!

Thanks for the pictures, its hard to get pictures of your own boat.
