Forecast- partly cloudy low 80's - perfect.

- well thats good the way anaconda is running i might be pushing it in with a pole singing "o-solo- mio" i think my 1939 chris craft runs better

Rob not running yet ? Jeff landed tonight, If you need a hand give me a call, will stop by.

looks like is going to be a great day! We will be there by 1pm , can't wait to see all the classics

Had a great time great boats and yes somehow I finished mine and made it there and back ran great

Glade you made it Dave, to bad the weather man lied about the weather, it rained. On the bright side many boats braved the weather & showed up & I thinks good times were had.. I hope some one took some pic's.:picard1:

Any pics?

Here is one of the Magnum Maltese Crazy RYTHM.

----As always,,,a GREAT time was had by all, a bit of dampness aside. It was great to see everyone, and of course the boats. Chips Criterion blew me away. Great attention to detail and an unbelievable paint job.......Bill S

Thanks Chip for setting this up. I drove my Chris Cat back in the rain/drizzle. OH well....

Because of the rain never took my camera out but for this one and the other was back in the day cool pic I found of my mirage...
She ran so good now "I Feel the need for speed" more that is.........but it is running and paid for so I'm happy for that.I know it isn't the best looking boat but when you only have an hour here and there to work on it I think she still looks good for being all original and almost 40 years old

Oh and all the boats that made it there were awesome great job to you all I loved them all would love to sit down over a beer and listen to your story's of each boat .

I did find one more pic of Saturday

That is a great picture of your boat from back in the flying by the Historic Boblo boat.

Had a great time despite the rain. It was great hearing about the race history of my boat. Rain stopped and sun came out as soon as I pulled the boat out.

snapped a few pics with my phone. Even with a rain there was some amazing classics

c 28 is my old cigarette

Crazy Rythm
 

Crazy Rythm Magnum

39 Ocean Express and a pair of Cigarettes

Chip Miller just finished restoring his classic Donzi & had it on display.

The rain clouds did part Saturday around 5:30 & the sun did shine. This 35' Cig made the reunion & looks & runs great after a 8 month extensive clean up. This Cig past owners left her in the water with out any love for many summers but Ralph's & Kevin Mathes hard work brought her back from the dead.:ernaehrung004:

Beautiful rig!!!

Great job Ralph. That is a pretty special rig.

Andy,, Mike Ragu took it on trade years ago & I believe it came from Mentor Ohio, any history you know of ???

olredalert...I love your Donzi and the floor in her is beautiful are there any other pic's on OSO,
Can you give me some info on her

Dave , Jeff went out in the mist & shot this pic of your Mirage, Looking GOOD....

The sun did finally come out Saturday evening just in time to run the Magnum home. Jeff the Minnesota [ ICE MAN,, AKA GIRAFFE ] looks to be having a hard time squeezing into my Magnum. :lolhit:

Good times Mark, Lake St. Clair is the place to be!

Jeff

I drove my Chris Cat back to Millers at 3:30- sky was looking dark at that point and my radar arch is the perfect lightning rod....:lolhit:


Later driving home the sun came out....

----Justbassing,,,,Glad you like the old El Pescador. The reunion was the first time Ive had it back in the water in a couple of years. I forgot just how much I like the boat and how it handles. I have a bunch of pics but Im having a hard time pulling them up with the new puter. Maybe when Mark gets here tonight he can figure out how to transfer them.......Bill S

Dave here is a pic I have of Bill's Donzi E P from the first old school reunion.

Any more pics?

Here are a few more of Bill's El P Donzi ..

Beautiful

Ok I'm hooked I would love to find that same boat for sale somewhere.
Thanks for the pic's mark.
Race day going to the ST Clair races today.

Don't want to give anyone the impression I am in love with Bills boat or anything….

----Thanks to both Scott and Mark. Scott,,,Those pics were taken before the teak floor and extra trim work. Still looks OK, but that blue Pirelli blue floor that I had at first would fry your soles if you didn't watch out! That last pic with Jan and I also has Jack sitting on the port side, and he happens to be here today for his annual visit from San Diego, California. Headed up to St. Clair for the races in a bit........Bill S

Yeah, I couldn't find the pics from Key Largo LOL. "Look Bill, huge boat wake. Should I warn the girls?"

Tell Jack I said bad things about him ;) :stooges: :)

In case he's wondering, the Vette is doing just fine.

I have a 1975 donzi doral and live I chesterfield and would love to see pics of h2oboater 1975 donzi doral or anyone who has old school donzi boats pics

I don't remember the whole story but Scott Smith told me it was one of a few built with the side by side seat. it originally went to Europe then made it's way back here. Unfortunately most if not all the old records at Cigarette never made the trip to the new plant. I used to be able to Call Scott or Craig and get info on everything ever made in a few days.
