That Donzi is really sweet!

That Corvette looks awesome also

----Tomsdonzi,,,PM Mark (h2oboater) and ask to see it in person. Its not that far from you. Right near New Baltimore.......Bill S

Andy,, Big Wave & I went by thunderboat row around November 2006 & saw all the paper work & records from Cigarette in the dumpster there, so much history & info lost.

I would like to meet pm mark. I live close by in Chesterfield Township. I have a 1975 donzi I got from my father-in-law. It needs work but I'd like to restore it so I would like to see what a nice 1975 donzi looks like and get some ideas

I will send a PM with info. Mark

Thank you Paul from tomsdonzi

Being old school I would have kept that information. I was able to get owners manuals and wiring schematics from Scott years ago and have them stashed away for when people need them for early Top Gun 87', Cafe' and Bullet.

Big business ruined that at Cigarette. If your not buying new they don't want to spend the time dealing with you. Phil at Lip Ship is awesome for the old school guys. Wish he would have got dibs on that info before it was trashed. Too bad...

Is a old school reunion being planned for 2015?

yes !!!!

I am in. Hopefully the weather will be better next year.

Date in mind?

Heck, i just want 1 of the 9 to be running past the neighbors house,1000 feet from the dock and BOOM goes the eng room - my 2014 luck wasn't that good, spent a lot on engines and even more in a shop to insure i have something other that a mastercraft to make it

im in

When I saw Santa last I asked him to lift all the Lake St Clair engine Voodoo curses for 2015, Santa replied I like BLOW BOATS :picard1: were screwed..:eek::eek::eek:

Santas ears bleed from those nasty cigar boats dry pipes. Lol

Pending on the dates, i might be willing to drag the Pantera North!!

This Cig 35 was owned by a good friend of mine in Mentor Lagoons Ohio. He was not into restoration. It was kept on a lift and used as an everyday cruiser. He bought it from National Marine. It was docked three docks down from where the Powder Keg was docked in the 70's.

Chip Miller will be taking the lead as I was told that the Nautical Mile wants to be involved along with there Venation fest making the reunion bigger & better. The date should be Saturday JULY 25TH, MORE info will come in the New Year.

Isn't that boat race weekend in St Clair?
That may have an impact on the event, unless the event is set up perhaps to do a run to the races in the afternoon and have a spot at a place like peppers to showcase the old race / old school stuff at the races also, just a thought

NO !!!!!! Old School is always the weekend before the St Clair race as many of us are in the pace boat @ St Clair.

I just picked up the Drive, Transom Assemble and 540 Long Block Machine Work For the Mad Mother Magnum. Seven months of hard knocks to get to my first reunion.

Maybe I'll bring my boat back to its old stomping grounds.[ATTACH=CONFIG]535080[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535086[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535087[/ATTACH]

Someone invite santa to go LOL

Anything nailed down yet? Solid date

Yes,, Saturday, July 18 at 1:00pm
Brownie's On The Lake in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.

Sweet I plan on being there. Any entry fee or just a brewski? Lol

Entry fees are applicable only to boats that are painted like tennis shoes and built with a chopper gun.

Just show up rain or shine is all that is required.

Leave the bayliner home then?

And the Baja.

H20 will be there with an eyepatch and a Joe Dirt mullet wig.

Cool, than we'll look alike!!!!!

Contrary to popular belief. It's coming back.

There is a very good chance that the 29-9 will be done and at the reunion,if I can keep Bob Oetringer on the project.This is the only remaining Magnum long boat of 5 made and designed by Billy Martin with help from Roger Munn.
