depth is probably 3-5 feet. The problem right now are the weeds. They can even plug up strainers. We will be taking care of that,next year,if not sooner. Would love to have you stop by!

The owner designed the whole thing and spec'd it exactly the way he wanted it right down to the width of the stripes. It was the first one and Donzi called it the Aronow edition which I believe got them in some hot water.. Shortly after, the Shelby was released. I like the scoop on this one better. It's actually in my shop right now.

Those pictures were taken in my garage in Arizona before we brought the boat up to Vancouver for delivery. Steve's boat was actually the #5 Aronow & as stated is the only one with stripes. Donzi was extremely reluctant to put stripes on what was intended to be a solid color boat. As the boat was being built though someone at Donzi noticed the design & the Shelby idea was spawned. I have pictures somewhere from the day we delivered and water tested the boat.

First my reply's are "Weak Azz reply's"..... now my reply was too strong for your sensibilities? bud, check your estrogen level, you sound like my EX.
Friendly little piece of advice..... Don't go around poking wasp nests and then cry when you get stung.

Mine just wants to porpoise at anything under 60-mph w/o a little tab. I've just gotten used to it and run the tabs just below neutral most of the time. I just switched from 150s tabs to 280s so we'll see if this changes anything. I really want to swing a trip up to Vancouver one of these years.

It will be interesting how they work out. I tried talking my brother in law into them and try some props.He had the mindset if DONZI spec'd it this way that this stock set up is the way it needs to be tho..
It takes a lot of tab to keep it under control.
I did manage it well with practice as seen one hand filming here.

He wound up selling the Boat.
