When Performance Boat Center launched its Powered By Performance Invitational happening several years ago, the event primarily was limited to the brands—MTI, Performance Powerboats and Sunsation Boats—carried by the Osage Beach, Mo., dealership And it made perfect sense. Performance Boat Center’s spring and fall fun runs are open to all comers and free.

So why not dedicate one event to the brands you sell and the customers who support them?
That remains very much the case with the June 18-20 affair, but with an inclusive wrinkle. Now, all Performance Boat Center sales and service clients are welcome to participate.
Registration is open.
The fun starts Thursday with a meet-and-greet at the Redhead Lake Grill and Yacht tiki bar next door to Performance Boat Center headquarters. Friday’s run on the Lake of the Ozarks will see participants head to The Cave Bar and Grill for lunch, then return to High-Tide Social—also adjacent to the dealership—for a dinner and awards party.
On Saturday, the fleet will run to Coconuts Coconuts At The Lake. Dog Days Bar and Grill will be the host venue for Sunday’s “Recovery Day” outing.
In 2025, the Powered By Performance Invitational attracted 70 boats and raised $45,000 for Make-A-Wish of Missouri and Kansas.
