Fill me in, what's going on?

I can make it but have never been there. I'd be coming from the Canton area. I went to Raystown Lake and met some guys from S&F a couple weeks ago, it was a great time. This is even closer to home.

i guess every year around this time many boaters from Ohio gather at alum creek res. should be some real fast boats to watch.

i guess there is a bass tournament on the 12th and a sailboat rally on the 19th. I will be there on both days since its only a 25 min drive for me.

Which ramp will you be using?

Which ramp is best for launching by myself? I have never been to that lake but always enjoy an adventure. I have the old Trimate III 19 footer.

 

[illMATTic]

i have only been there once. i plan to launch at the one just east of the dam.

Can I please get some cross roads,HERE :cheers

 

[illMATTic]

the launch i am using is on the south-east part of the lake. its just off of Africa rd.

its going to be 80 this weekend. ill be there on the 12th and the 19th for sure. i am still unsure what day will be the biggest. i am thinking the 19th.

Was anyone there this past weekend(10/12)? I jacked these pics from another forum. I'd like to know who owns this and if they are on here somewhere.

 

[dfarina]

The jig is up! You've been found. Lets hear some numbers.

 

[illMATTic]

i was out there. it was pretty packed so it looked like they were not running to fast. I guess the 19th will have more high speed runs.

 

[SCT]

Ill- I believe Kunkels set up that red 235 Persuader.....and i hear it runs strong!

 

[cooperider]

SCT, was that a Persuader GTX, it looks like that odd hull that was a bitch to tape?

 

[Big Red]

That red boat has some hardware under that hatch twin turbos and carbs cant tell if its a big block or small block. Plus it has some kind of spray going into the carbs look at the hose ontop of the breathers. That boat looks like it could be a Baja's worst nightmare.

I could here it now

All's I seen was a red flash it come by me like I was in reverse

 

[SCT]

Coop, that does look like a Persuader GTX....not to many around.

 

[illMATTic]

i didnt see that red one run at all. i bet it moves though.

 

[mboger]

the redcheckmate is on this site
the boat does run ive seen him in action very impressive
and a real good guy also

 

[illMATTic]

that red one had a blown gasket last week. I hear it will be running this sunday. Ill be there.
