Checkmate event

Start counting down the time, Aug 2nd is the date for the big event. FYI, for anyone going from out of town like myself, I recommend the holiday inn that is downtown. It is on the Fox River, just a quick boat ride from Geen Bay and Rick's place. I stayed there in Dec., and it was a nice hotel with everything we will need. I just made reservations for the weekend for a hundred bucks a night. I do not think that is bad being on the water and for summer.
 
Well New to the board and to Checkmate boats. I just sold a Blown 21'Liberator tunnel hull to buy a 1990 GTX 251 Convincor. Wanted to slow down a bit and play on the big lake (I am here in Northern IL just off the Chain O Lakes) I go up to door county 1 or 2 times a year love it up there. never had a boat up there though. I am all for a Summer get together. Will there we a place to sign up or an E-mail reminder?
thanks

All you need to do is e-mail me and let me know your coming.. so I know how much food and brew to buy.. Also looking into bands, etc.. should be a great time.. Nicolet Bay and Chambers Island are the ultimate anchorage spots in Door County.. I'm shooting for Longtail and maybe a trip to Wavepointe... pretty big water,don't want to loose the smaller boats. My e-mail is broker@tds.net Rick

Rick, you do know to count Steph and I in for both the Poker Run in June and "Thunder on the Bay" (is that the name?) in Aug., right?!? Just 300, c'mon, I am sure Kip can come up with a way for twin 2.5's! 560 hp on about 1200 lbs, WOW

JW, how come no boat?!? I would love to see that bad boy run! Either way, you alway have a ride and a beer waiting aboard my Mate!
 
Well..
I hate driving through Chicago, and I dont like trailering, so put those two together and it would be a no-go for me. I DO want to make the meet though, so the trip by car is still on. I'm sure I can hitch a ride or two

I've only been advertising the event as a one day deal for Saturday.. Most people from out of town will probably be rolling in on Friday.. I'm a member of the Green Bay Yachting Club, it's right next door to my shop.. I can rent the restaurant part of it for Friday night, anyone interested in a Fish Fry for Friday night? Also, Saturday the show n shine, anchorage, entertainment, maybe Sunday a quick run to Wavepointe (30 miles) lunch and wind it down.. what does everyone think? Rick

A good old Wisconsin fish fry, I would love that! Steph and I will be getting into town early Fri. Afternoon and are leaving Mon. so we are open to anything Sat. and Sun!
Bill
 
You can count me in since I live in the Minneapolis area, It's only a half day drive. I don't know if my 185 Pulse will be making any 80 mph runs on the big water, I will pray for calm seas. There are some less expensive hotels west of Green Bay in Shawano and a nice lake there as well. It is about a 30 minute drive to Greenbay. I hope there Isn't a Packer pre-season game that weekend, because then hotels will be scarce and expensive- If thats the case make reservations early!
I am Excited- Chuck ( C-mate 280 )
 
Bad news rick, i just found out that i have to drill with the national guard company that i command on the weekend of the 2 and 3rd. I guess i can't make it.

"I LOVE THE ARMY"Where else can you travel to beautiful places, meet foreign exotic people an KILL EM !!
 
I just live to far away to go... Sorry I can't make it guys... At least there will be pictures...

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!
 
Yeah Z, that would be a long bike ride for you!

ANyway, just to refresh peoples memories and to get this up for some of the new people on the forum, Rick at Bayview Marine is putting on the first annual Checkmate rendevous in Green Bay Wisconsin the weekend of Aug. 2nd and 3rd. Because of the river and the bay, it will be good for Mates of all sizes! Sounds like at least a couple of the factory people will be there. Maybe they will bring the latest, greatest mate! Maybe Rick can get some more particulars up if he has time...
