Lake of the Ozarks Fall Harbor Hop is, for many, the final weekend of the boating season. Winter's chill, which drives inboard boaters to winterize, could already be felt as a nationwide cold front brought the fall's first frost to greet Harbor Hoppers, Saturday morning.

Can Shootout week be summed up in a single photo?
The Shootout races happen on the water, in the main channel, around the 33.5 Mile Marker. But what many fans don’t realize is that’s only a fraction of the action. Back on the docks at Captain Ron’s, within view of the race course, race teams tweak their fine-tuned machines and fans mingle o…
In two days, 74 racers made 193 runs down the 3/4-mile race course for the 2019 Lake Of The Ozarks Shootout. The race is open to any type of boat: PWCs, pontoons, v-bottoms, deck boats, and catamarans annually test their boats' speeds in a one-at-a-time drag-strip style run, with a radar gun…
While fans lined up on the water to watch racers push the limits of their boats on the course, a lot of us took a break on land to eat, drink & shop at Captain's Ron's Vendor Village. The shady, cool weather made for a great time to refuel with great food and browse for the gear we neede…

Our photographers snapped literally thousands of photos from the air and water at the Shootout Poker Run. Here are 51 favorites from photographer Brad Glidewell, who hung out the side of a helicopter for some stunning pics.
The Shootout Poker Run is the chance for powerboaters to cover a lot of water, the day before Shootout, by joining in a poker game that spans the entire Lake of the Ozarks. It began at Millstone Marina, at the 8 Mile Marker, on Friday morning, extended all the way up to Big Dick’s, at the 47…

In an event so successful, it’s been stretched across two separate days, kids and adults with disabilities or serious illnesses got the ride of a lifetime at Wishing On A Ride, Thursday, Aug. 22, at Captain Ron’s. The event, which benefits the Make A Wish Foundation, is sponsored by OakStar …
Go-fast boats parked on land gave crowds a close-up look at the Shootout On The Strip, Wednesday evening, Aug. 21. The event brings powerboats for a street party that draws young and old to enjoy walking among supercats, v-hulls, and the teams that race them at Shootout.
Many people have shaped the Shootout over the years. These six were inducted this year into the Shootout Hall of Fame for the part they've played: Charlie Schaeffer, Brad Rowland, Don Onken, Kent Morris, Dave Leathers, and Ron Duggan.
A homemade boat won't go quite as fast as a supercat. But at the new Float Your Boat races on Tuesday, Aug. 20, they proved they can be just as entertaining to watch! The event raised money for the Lake of the Ozarks Food Bank Advisory Board.
It's the annual Shootout event where pirates young and old storm the beaches of Captain Ron's in search for buried treasure.
The Shootout raises hundreds of thousands of dollars every year for Lake-area charities and fire districts, and it's only able to do that thanks to the hard work of the many volunteers who make it go.
These powerboaters have big hearts.
The great thing about the new Shootout Run What Ya Brung Poker Run is you can just run what ya brung (translate: drive the boat you have, regardless of whether it’s a go-fast boat)! The trick in photographing it is figuring out who’s part of the poker run, and who’s out for a day on the water.
The Mini-Shootout is an event all its own. It brings nearly as many boats as the full-sized race the following weekend, but these boats are unmanned—remote controlled—and the largest are only about five feet long. The speeds are real, though, and some of these little remote-controlled boats …
