Dick Bertram

stinson...that's funny...

would be pretty ironic if it were true :)

I keep going back to the Donzis though...are you talking about the Hornet or the Minx...

need some hints here brownie :)

Chapman was the carpenter I believe but i am now at a loss if it wasnt Bertram

I do have to say that I kind feel sorry for who ever designed thes boats...

They are clearly some GREAT designs and to not be recognized for them is truly a shame...

I still keep going back to the Donzis though...are you talking about the Hornet or the Minx...

need some hints here brownie

Some damned good guesses here, but they are wrong.....

OK Brownie I know it wasnt Bertram so was Chapman a designer or was that before his time

60 minutes to go, you boobs!

Thanks Brownie, an otherwise uneventful day...

I go with Sean and Mindi. Jean Claude Simon

Willie Meyers;)

In 1966, Harry Schoell designed and built a full-height 28' deep vee raceboat for Aronow. Don took that boat and cut it down vertically, to make the Magnum 27'. He took the 28' drawing, blew it up 1.15 times, and made the 32' Cary/Cigarette. He blew the 32' up 1.5 times and made the 49' Cary (really 48'3"). He stretched the 32' Cary/Cig. to 36', then stretched that to 40'. Performer stretched it to 44'. Aronow took some of the above boats and made the 28' Cigarette, all the Squadrons, and a few others.

Wynne/Walters did the 16', 19', 28' and 35' Donzis. Donzi gave the 35' to Aronow who made it a Magnum. He stretched it to 38', then to 40'. The 40' was expanded 1.33 times, and voila, the 53' Magnum. The 53' was stretched to 63', then to 70'. The 16' was stretched to 18', the 19' stretched to 20' .

Answer to the puzzle. NOBODY

Hey Brownie...Don had a team of designers..didn't he. Although he did get credit for it.

I have to bow down to his heirness on that one he is very correct.

Brownie very good but when you least expect it, expect it...... :D:D:D

brownie...you're a bad, bad man...:mad: :)

drove me crazy all day, i got no work done... :) :) :)

so my initial response that it was a trick question should be counted as the correct answer...right :) :)

To be fair...i learned alot today...did as much research on the net as i could and learned pretty much everything you've stated...

Brownie,its not nice to ask loaded questions ;)

Dammit......Been frying the brain.Hey what was the prize?

An original photo of the first two Donzi 16's with Jim Wynne and me at the helms. No big deal, but it is signed and dated.

I think Willie Meyer actually pressed the button on the copy machine

That would have been a kick ass prize! When is your next contest?

yes...that would have been a GREAT prize for sure!

Thanks for the brain twister Brownie. I always look forward to your posts...

I knew it was OJ all along ;)

Was it T2X???:frog:
