Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year as one of the finest high-performance powerboating
events of its kind, the Boyne Thunder Poker Run attracted a sell-out fleet of 120 V-bottom
sportboats, catamarans and center consoles. The breathtaking mix of hardware in the Northern
Michigan happening included models from Cigarette Racing Team, DCB Performance Marine,
Donzi Marine, Fountain Powerboats, MTI, Mystic Powerboats, Nor-Tech Hi-Performance Boats,
Outerlimits Offshore Powerboats, Performance Powerboats, Skater Powerboats, Sunsation
Powerboats and more. From the Boyne Mountain Resort welcome party backed by American Custom
Marine and Nor-Tech and the downtown Boyne City street celebration off the water to the Bay
Harbor lunch and the poker run itself, which took participants through Lake Charlevoix and
Round Lake before heading into Lake Michigan, the four-day event delivered all the power and
beauty that have kept it thriving for 20 years.

Lots of nice boats for sure. But there can only be one! Apache is the sickest boat in my book. Man I wish they still made those.💪🤘👈
Kemosabe one of my favorite Apache
Wait... they don't make no more Apache boats ?
@@dimmacommunication I'm pretty sure they stopped and what you see is refitted race boats or old pleasure boats. They are unicorns and why people go nuts over them. Mark McManus owns Apache and I think they do restoration jobs. You would have to check. If they still build I'm sure its custom from ground up.$$$$$$
Their still in business in Naples Florida. Restoration is their biz now. But they can still turn out a modern or old school boat....for a price.
Curious what's different from the Apache to these other cigarette boats?
Hands down, best Boyne video ever made!
Thank you!!
Amazing job Scrapyard Media!
Thanks!!
You guys ROCK!! Thanks Speed on the Water for your incredible videos!
These videos get better and better
Wowzers!!! Editing plus!! The speed ramping was insane with the sound fusion!! Epic story telling…loved it!!! Thank you!
🤙🏼
This is awesome !!! Great content scrapyard media !!!
Thank you!!!
Not one of those other boats could out run those 2 Apaches in a 6ft swell! Great to see the Warpath on the water!
Been a spectator for years, we go to the pier and sit right at the south lighthouse in Charlevoix, the parade of boats going out to watch as they take off is amazing. Love Boyne Thunder!
Insane video!!!! Great work everyone!! ⚡️⚡️🔥🔥
Thanks!!
Perfection!
KILLER VIDEO!
Bad boy is such a sick boat
hangover boating just great
I'm from Perth, Western Australia. The idea of inland fresh water, ocean sized lakes is mind boggling to me. Respect!
Love
Salutations from Destin FL. Very nice video. Had no idea that was going on up there. Gonna have to check it one day. Kudos to the editing! Top notch.
What Banger video.
Phenomenal video💪💪
The ships gliding across the water are so impressive
Great video… awesome editing and mixing!
Water life the best life,,🇻🇨👍
Great intro guys! And video editing🤙 Quailty content
very cool, looks awesome
Your right and one of those 🌞
Yes this is 1 Awesome event for the State of Michigan and everyone involved and another year I've missed because of the SMOKE from Canada 🇨🇦. As I suffer from Stage 4 C.O.P.D and can't walk as far as I use to, but maybe by next year I'll have a Pride Scooter and then I'll be able to attend in 2024?.
From 16:00 to 16:50.....totally badass !!!!
Nice to see how the other half spend their weekends
need more boat & engines leas music....still good stuff 💯🇺🇸
16:10 lets go!
Owned a 38’ Formula with twin Merc 502’s Had it for 5 years. Drove it from Manasquan inlet to Nantucket several times alone and to Ft Lauderdale 6 times. Don’t miss owning a boat like that at all. Glad it’s gone.
My son and I worked on a 32’ Sunsation with 2 Whipple charged 502s. We chased gremlins for 15 years so we could competently run in this event. Never made it. By the time the boat ran right I was old and my son had 2 kids. Now I ride my handicap scooter through Boyne City and that’s good until I win the mega quad billion lottery and run over to Skater and throw my check book at them. I’m 76, so this is a rush order.
🌊😍
Warpath was there 😩

Jeff Riehl? Do you run the Ford dealer in Charlevoix? They could use some “Boyne Thunder” magic. You help with the worlds greatest poker run! Nice job.
pretty cool. but someone was leaking gas/ oil the whole time. or their engine wasnt restricted and just flowing fuel from exhaust
OMG all these spots are an hour or less from where I live and I've never went up to watch!! I've been missing out so bad. @How2Live will you ever do this??? I wish they'd stop by Traverse city!!
Would be amazing to partecipate
Unless I'm mis-remembering, WARPATH is an Apache Powerboat that used to be owned by Storino's and on the Manasquan River. Back in the 90's it went down to Fort Apache for some work. Someone broke into the boat yard, lifted the motors on cranes and drove the boat out from underneath the motors. Gone, gone. That paint job isn't as nice as the original. The original was a 47' i think.
Drop the music and let us hear the boats!
Damn until now i didnt knew i need one of these bad ass drug dealer speed boats. Looks like so much fucking fun
Goodjob k no coment k
I couldnt even afford the fuel nvm the boat
I.wish.that.i.had..2..75.yamaha.old.mudle.for.i.to.work.fishing.i.love.that.❤❤❤
Could be a nice video if only I could hear the music of the engines instead of that other noise.
I don't understand anything , is it race ? Wo won
$ don't buy happiness, is the biggest lie ever told
It can buy a boat and cooler full of beer
$1.5M raised in 20 years ? $75,000/year ?
aliens watching wondering wtf they are all running away from
there went another million !!!!! ..........................gallons of gas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...........................:)
Would have loved to hear the engine noise rather than music... Maybe next time!
There are so many shots with just engines or very low music. Do you want no music in the entire video??
@@braddimaggio No just when those very loud engines are blasting! If you can't hear those engines something is wrong with the mic!
@@COORS5766Engines blasting wouls ruin the general audio, would not be pleasant. Some clips with full audio then low audio
Maybe I’ll edit a video with the top 10 best engine sounds and just roll it with no music. I feel like that would be well received. What do you think @gwmjr111
@@braddimaggio I'm not saying the entire video should have been engine noise, maybe just when the boats were flying across the lake let the natural sound of the engine play without background music.. If you are filming a boat doing 120mph plus, lets hear the engine noise then cut back into commentary or background music etc..
More money than brains!!!
Promo*SM 💘
Bad Ass!! Its called Thunder Run!! Not gay Outboard run!!
Wow must be a record , about a million bucks in fuel raced away in a 20 minute video with half of it not racing 🙂
So geil, die ballern an einem Tag so viel Ceozwei raus, wie Dummland in den nächsten 100 Jahren durch das Heizungsgesetz einspart! 😂😂😂
I feel so poor after watching this video. All millionairs in these boats.
Yessir
I was doing pretty good financially, but then I bought a boat. Ladada
@@daleriley785 Nah kids and wives are way more expensive than boats over the years.
Music sucks, more real race boat music 👍💪💪💪
Has anyone noticed the commonality amongst all these peoples?...aside from many who own, (Or the Bank owned), their nice boats....fully two-thirds or more of the 40-year-old men are over-weight with giant beer bellies. Each time I visit the states it gets worse & worse. My entire family in the States of some twenty plus individuals , every single one is either obese or obviously over-weight. Myself?, at five-foot-ten-and-a-half....I have bobbed from 180 to 193 lbs since 1984. It really is so sad to see...
Jamais de ta vie
What a joke. Big deal a boat with multiple engines. Where is the advanced technology and engineering to justify the price. These powerboats are all the same year after year.
Why tf do you have to have loud garish crappy "music" ruining the video?, let the boats music sing.
Crash and burn is the only potentially interesting part. who wins? Nobody wins. Nobody care who wins. Dull as watching paint dry.
