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.
