    anybody got a close up pic of the Checkmate logo that was used in the late eighties, the one on the sides? I have a super super clean 25 Convincor in my shop for some collision repair and i would like to reproduce the original logo. Thanks all

    Is it a yellow one that drilled the unlit buoy down by the I-75 grain bins last year?

    If it is/isn't, that guy was lucky he drilled it above the water line at least.

    Any pics? I didn't get to see the boat, the guys at Pier 75 told me about it.

    When going through there at night I either stick closer to the grain bins, or swing out enough to where I can pick that thing up in the streetlights and swing south of it. Luckily somebody warned me about it a long time ago. I wonder how long glow in the dark paint would last on it...

    I use to live/dock in Rossford and yea you have to keep those unlit ones in memory. The cans up between the train bridge and 280 have claimed a few as well. I do the same thing, take a certain course and wait till they come out in the street lights in the distance. You get use to the all after a while.
