I hope you can make it too. I sent you a e-mail
about where we are staying down there. The place has a hot tub, from what hear and see you enjoy!
 
Checkmate owners, pools and hot tub, wobbly pop's... What a great combination!

Hey gslinger, if disturbed makes it, the turn out will be just about as good as Green Bay!

It's another beautiful weenend here in Kentucky, temps in the 90's and plenty of sun, but this is my weekend to work midnights, so the Checkmate is sitting in the driveway. Wanted to let everybody know we had a good time in Green Bay until we almost flipped the boat and Debbie bounced all over the back seat. We hope the next event will be better weather. Herb

Herb,

Glad to you you made it home safe! I hope you guys had a better trip in Lake of the Ozarks! It was a pleasure meeting you guys, look forward to boating down in your neck of the woods soon!

Yikes! Anyone get a picture of the almost flip?

1995 Pulsare 2100BR/1995 Mercury Promax 225 2.5 EFI/ 1.87:1 Torquemaster/ RapidJack Heavy-Duty manual 10.5" setback/ 23" Tempest worked for ski duty
 
Nobody got pictures, Bill and Disturbed were infront of us, gslinger was behind us but it happened so fast they couldn't get pictures. We got hit by double wakes (one from a large cruiser and then we rocked into Disturbed's wake) Then when we shut down and BAHAHAHA almost hit us from behind. Needless to say, that was the end of the day's boating. My wife, Debbie was pretty shook-up and the daughter was scared. It takes a big wake to rock a 253 that bad, I thought we were flipped. The only other time we hit that big of a wake was behind the river boat the Delta Queen (a paddle wheeler) I would have hated to have been in a small low profile boat. Later....

No, but the wife and I saw it! I'm amazed that the boat didn't flip. It was funny it the sense that after it happened, herb wife who got thrown around ask if we got it on video.
 
Deb said that in 23 years of marriage that was the first time that herb tried to kill her. Glad that you found the forum herb, Welcome to the family.
