HELP!!!!!!! Ok I don't know what it is about this run but I am cursed with my new to me boat. Last year I had to cancel because of a complete engine rebuild. Fast forward to this year was testing props to work with my new to me -2" shorties and had some issues. Turns out one of my roller tappets decided not to role and chewed up my cam so I am out for a couple of weeks and still want to come to the poker run. There were 6 of us going in my boat and I would love to still draw my cards. I (we) need a ride!!!! Help!!! We can probably cut that back.
Or if anybody in the Charlotte area has been on the fence about this run here is a deal. I'll tow your boat there, cover the gas and you have a slip already covered. Just be our poker run captain and party with us.

Weather is going to be a bit cool, but great all weekend. The lake looks great & the water is high.
Anyone with a straight bottom boat ought to be able to launch with no issues at the ramp right behind the condos.
I would recommend going down the street to the State Park for anyone else.
There is another ramp on the Mariner's Landing property, but it's VERY steep and kind of a pain to maneuver into. The State Park is much better.

To everyone towing in on Thursday, go ahead and put the cover on your boats. It's supposed to rain pretty good on Thursday and the storms come up on you fast in the hills/mountains.
