Big boats in town

There is a lot going on right now. Over in Laughlin they are hosting the Laughlin River Motorcycle Run. Here in town they are hosting a big boat show, poker run, and shootout.

Last night was the boat show. This is similar to a car show where they closed off the main street and lined it with boats. Now these aren’t just boats, these are BOATS!

We are talking BIG BUCKS here. These boats are pushing close to a million dollars and running thousands of horsepower. They get about 4 mpg and run race fuel at about $4.50 a gallon. They will easily burn $1,000 in fuel this weekend.

I think last night all of Lake Havasu was down town checking out the boats. Today there are about 200 boats in the poker run and tomorrow about 50 in the shootout to see who can reach top speed.

No these are not six packs of Bud Light, these are the two batteries for the boat.
