Obviously in anticipation of next week’s Desert Storm Poker Run in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., I’ve been discussing what’s to come at Thursday’s Street Party—arguably the highlight of the West Coast’s largest powerboat event—with several people in the industry. Not only does the Street Party provide me with my best chance to catch up with friends and readers, it’s going to have a mile’s worth of photo-worthy displays from the likes of DCB Performance Boats, Marine Technology Inc., Mystic Powerboats, Nordic Boats, Skater Powerboats and much more.

The speedonthewater.com crew will be represented as well so stop by and grab a coozie to match your boat or future boat. Our loaded tailgate trailer should catch your attention even though it pales in comparison to the real displays along McCulloch Boulevard. I’m talking about setups like Win Farnsworth’s DCB M41 Widebody Silver Lining and accompanying tow vehicle and trailer—and who knows what Farnsworth has in store with the Low Altitude Mystic he purchased earlier this year. Of course Gino Gargiulo’s electrifying Lamborghini-inspired 48-foot MTI is sure to be a fan favorite.
