CHECKMATE OWNERS RALLY 2014

What part of the lake and what color was the Convincor?

I saw online the other day where a couple guys on the lake hit a low floating log. They ripped the engine off the back, it swung into the boat and they were both cut by the prop along with some other injuries. they will be fine but the picture of his leg was pretty nasty.

Glad there ok. It was bad out there, leaving Conley heading to Harmon creek where the beach is it was solid trees all the way across the lake. We couldn't go any further then that then when we heading in the entrance into Conley was blocked off by trees and trash.
 
I was on the lake last week at Jamestown. I was there to test my new Skeeter . Logs were all over. Every time i would get up and moving I would see a Boat Killer floating in the water:shakehead:

Yea they better get on it soon. If they don't I don't see how they will have poker run.

Which marina?
 
Good to hear the water is getting cleaner. I heard the marinas are having issues with people not able to get into their slips because som much debri is coming in during the day.
See you down there in a couple weeks for the Thunder Run. :cheers:
 
Clearing up

Lake looked way better this weekend, once in a while I saw a log here and there but nothing like it was the last couple weeks. Got the step daughters some seat time, it was pretty smooth.

That's good to hear I talked to 2tonchevy Sunday and he said he tried to go out last weekend and it was still pretty nasty. The only bad thing is that there's still those below water line floaters still out there that don't get pushed off to the side as easy.

I caught one Saturday and busted one of my lower housings on about 5' log sitting just below the water. Saw it last minute as it capped over the wake pulled back to neutral but wasn't soon enough. This was on Herrington lake though.

yeah. my speedo still doesn't work, had wood all shoved up it, I dug more out after my last trip I am hoping it works now, we will see this weekend. It was probably just wood trash that I hit though not a log.

Are you Taking about the wood you got in your Speedo while going down the lake?:devil:

Kickin ass and taken names my brother. Im rubbing the bottom off it. Gas money instead of repair money. It is actually costing me more since it is fixed but with less complaining.lol We may drag it home to my small lake next week for a week or 2 before thunder run just to curb my appetite of going long distances every day. Cant do that on a 3 mile lake.haha

Rooms are clean and I would consider getting a slip as well while your at it. Make sure you mention the Checkmate Rally when you make your reservations.

Get yourself one of those newfangled gps speedos. Everybody's doing it so it must be cool.
 
I've been in the rooms at Grider, they are dated but clean. Griders not as luxurious as some of the other marinas but it is a nice older marina. Hopefully they finish the parking lot addition before we get down there.
Just over a month to go and I'm getting excited.:cheers:

From what I was told the new parking lit is supposed to he completed by thunder run. I will be down there this weekend and will post an update on the progress.
 
Grider is an oldschool resort with a great view of the marina. We enjoyed our stay there but with any great view there is always a big ole hill to climb haha. We are staying at State Dock this year just to see some more of the amazing Lake Cumberland and try out another marina. I wish it was closer so we could get there a couple times a year. See ya ll soon !! :cheers::cheers:
