Between the hot cars and the hot boats, the street party at the 11th annual Boyne Thunder Poker Run in Boyne City, Mich., is buzzing. Although still a bit early for the big crowds, below is a handful of images that I downloaded during a quick refuel stop at the recommended burger joint Thick N’ Juicy on the corner of Lake Street and Water Street—the focal point of Friday evening’s festivities.

Stay tuned for more coverage on speedonthewater.com from tomorrow’s poker run. And check out a couple of our YouTube videos from the street party as well as the related story from Thursday’s fun run.

Take your pick—the cherry Corvette or the BOOSTane Octane Engineering 40-foot Skater Powerboats catamaran.

The Harbour Marine crew from Charlevoix, Mich., brought this Formula 382 FAS3Tech with twin Ilmor Marine 725 engines to the poker run.

Sitting on a Heritage tilt trailer, this stunning Marine Technology Inc., catamaran is a real head-turner.

The hot rods, which are aplenty at the Boyne Thunder Poker Run street party, are almost as cool as the boats—almost.

The beautiful Susan C, a Yanmar diesel-powered 38-foot V-bottom made out of mahogany from local builder Van Dam Customs Boats.

Talk about a monster truck, this flat-black bad boy from Extreme Supertruck is one serious tow vehicle.

This striking Fountain Powerboats V-bottom is powered by twin Mercury Racing 1000SCi engines.
