Lake Powell Challenge Poker Run

[YOLO]

A little over a week. Who's going?

I'd like to make this event next year. Can't think of a better venue for a poker run.

 

[BR44]

We will be there Thursday thru Sunday. Rented a houseboat for the weekend. If you see us come say hi.

 

[Patyacht]

I'll be cruising the San Juan's and Canadian Gulf Islands.

What is the total distance of this run?

 

[Motor Boater]

What is the total distance of this run?

If my memory serves me right dangling rope is at buoy 45ish plus the small jaunt around the antelope island. I bet its about a 100 mile deal.

This isn't an all out run to the first card stop kind of deal is it? I would think with that distance that fuel consumption would be a concern for the big power guys.

 

[azwetnwild]

We will be there, hanging around anchovie point.

Tides Tavern and/or Lopez Island on the schedule?

 

[prosthogod]

We will be there thur-mon. We have a maroon and white 30ft magic septor. We will have a house boat docked in the private docks. Just trying to get my head around 100 miles of poker run!!!. I heard they do have 91 at antelope to refuel. The name is Kevin and we will have a full bar , so come buy!

They do have 91 octane at Antelope Point. And yes it is a long run but really worth it!

 

[El Guapo]

My wife and I are in. We rented a 70' house boat with another family and will be running our 26 ICC open bow Daytona with a new 985 HP motor by Octane Marine. Can't wait.
Red White and Blue Daytona, my name is Bo. Stop by and say hi.

 

[Patyacht]

Tides Tavern and/or Lopez Island on the schedule?

The Tides on Friday, Pike's Place Saturday and board the boat Sunday night for our checkout.
We'll pass on Lopez in favor of Friday Harbor and Roche plus the Gulf Islands from Victoria to Nanaimo and back to Anacortes.

 

[fennaz]

I was just at Powell over Labor Day weekend and Dangling Rope and Wahweap only have 87 octane gas at the docks. I had AV gas mixed in so adding some 87 didn't hurt and I wasn't running hard. So, heads up on fuel needs. Have fun.:thumbsup

Sounds like you have done this poker run in the past. If so, were u able complete the run without fueling at dangling rope?

I ran it last year and did the run without needing to refuel but was dry when I got back. Dangling rope only has 87 so depending on your needs plan accordingly. I generally top the boat off with av gas before heading to the lake because we top off the first day (Friday) at dangling rope and tool around all day and end up at Bullfrog. Hite has 91 at the other end of the Lake.

 

[dave29]

We ran it last year also. Didn't need to refuel. By the look of the map could the passage by castle rock have enough water to be open? Also, the narrow channel between Antelope and Wahweep is a really rough stretch. Did it last year for fun and a few boats in there really create swells.

We ran quite a bit of Powell over the 4th of July this year and did good on fuel, but we were at cruising speeds. I am a little unsure about fuel, especially if we run hard. Our boat is only 27' so we might not even be able to run that hard if its real rough. I could not agree with you more about the channel between Antelope and Wahweep, very rough! The channel from the Wahweep bay to warm creek is open but its wake less and narrow.

See you on the water.

When I was there over Labor Day, my depth gauge was reading 24' deep thru the cut, which is a long no wake zone.

This will be the 3rd year we've sponsored the event. Can't wait to head up Thursday morning. Look for the houseboat with the Boat Bling banner and introduce yourself!

FYI the run will be a few more miles this year as the cut at Wahweap was not open last year. Not that it should deter anyone from participating, just something to keep in mind for those worried about fuel .

Never been to Hite. How far away is that from the dangling rope? I think DR is the most north card stop?

Hite is about another 40-50 miles from DR!!

 

[DaveH]

FYI for those going to the PR this weekend......

flooding has damaged the 15 between Vegas and Mesquite. at this time the 15 is CLOSED. traffic is being routed through Caliente and then on to cedar city.

if you are coming from LA, I would suggest the 40 to Flagstaff and then up to page.

they are saying MAYBE having one lane open on the 15 by the weekend but expect long delays.

 

[BR44]

Could not have had more fun this weekend! Came in 4th place with the poker hand :champagne:

Met a lot of cool people this weekend looking forward to next time!!

 

[dp85tona]

I would love to see any pictures from this poker run, I miss Powell that place is beautiful but definitely big boat water (mine wont work there)

 

[RiverDave]

I would love to see some pics as well!

[Boat Bling]

We sponsor and participate in countless events across the country and even internationally but the Lake Powell Challenge is our personal favorite and we'll run through walls to attend in person. The friendly staff, organizers, participants and of course the scenic landscape combine to create an overall event feel that's unlike any other. Here are a few photos that only scratch the surface of the weekend fun.

Boat Bling HQ for the weekend


Getting ready for the long Friday morning run well into the UT portion of the lake


The infamous Panty Dropper Nor-Tech, always the life of the party!


You've got to see the banana boat in person to appreciate the detail


Nice F32 with 700's






Prosthogod, is this you?


DCB = Dave's Custom Buffet


Cool ice sculpture of a 42 Foutain. The detail work was amazing despite having melted for a few hours



George, owner of Donzilla holding court at the banquet getting the ballers to open their checkbooks for charity. There was a lot of money in the room but egos get checked at the door and the spotlight is on the cause.


Even the roll bar boats are repping Boat Bling

 

[RodnJen]

Looks awesome! Thanks Patrick.

 

[RiverDave]

Great Pics so far!!

This was my first time attending this event. It was perfect, we had a blast. The people who put this together were very nice and did a bang up job. Beautiful scenic poker run route and everybody was smiling. Free lunch with a beach party at lone rock after the run and then a killer free dinner with a great auction to raise money. Well done!

 

[Boat Bling]

El Guapo, your boat looked and sounded great! I snapped a spy pic of it on Friday morning

 

[TITTIES AND BEER]

I passed the Nortec on the road HOLY CRAP " MUCH BIGNESS "

THE BIG BOAT BEHINE 57 I got to wax that thing one day I thought my arm was going to fall off

 

[prosthogod]

Yes that was me! Ended up having 7 people in the magic for the run. We were guests of Kevin Burdet and I can't thank him and Nicky enough. He hooked us up on the Wind and Sea houseboat for us and another couple. Simply off the charts. They rolled out the red carpet. Had a great time at the poker run but don't remember much from the live auction on.

We had a great time, but could not find your house boat. We hung at Anchovy point at the beginning then headed up to Analope, had some brunch and watched the first boats coming in.

Thanks Boat Bling, I will be sure to replace that bottle circled above for boat bling. Thank you for sponsoring such a cool event.

 

[RiverDave]

I'm not the sharpest guy in the world, but that bottle in the picture circled is a bottle of boat bling.

Hey! I know a few of those boats too

A lot of people were very impressed with my motor Octane Marine. When the hatch was up, I had lots of people looking, taking photo's and asking about it. You guys built me one powerful and beautiful motor. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
