There has always been great stuff at the Emerald Coast Poker Run. This picture from a few years ago when I was at the run with Larry Goldman of XtremePowerboats running the Ferrari MTI.
Big thanks to Stu and Jacky of the Florida Power Boat Club for their continued support and fantastic organization of this event. The Emerald Coast is a fantastic and unique location for a powerboating event, it’s beautiful beaches, wide open inside waterway, and centralized location attract boaters from across the nation to this ideal spot in Florida’s Northern Panhandle.
