Now hook it up to the dually and bring it to LOTO for Memorial Day fool.

Thanks Buck

Buck I have been working with this guy for a week now. He was stuck at a price and so was I. I was looking to steal the boat he was looking to minimize the loss of the 15 grand he had into the motor swap and dash (he got SCREWED!!!!). I had a feeling that it was not going ot last long so I decided to go to his price knowing full well that I can ALWAYS get my money back.

Hell, I'll go buy an aluminum Jon boat tomorrow and launch......

No man we are STILL ON!!!!

Unfortunatly I was looking at my boat and I am REAL happy with the way it is coming out but DO NOT want to rush it. So we needed a boat for the summer to run. I wanted something that was fun, cool looking, and would hold its value. I looked at a bunch of different boats but the Donzi was really the only one that fit my criteria.

But it gets you on the water in a cool boat and that is all that matters. What is the power,drives,tabs,boxed #6?

These are classic boats no doubt, hope the numbers match, but that won't matter, you can't sell this boat now, it is a lifetime work in process.

What kind of speed to you think you will see.

Mitch the easy to keep up was one of the factors to looking at this boat. I think we will get a year out of the interior but even still to have a new one made by the guy that makes them for Donzi is only 1400 and I can get a local guy to do it probably for half that. The big boats are like 6-10K so .....

Power is a stock 330, Drive is TRS, Tabs are Bennets (through bolted thank god.)

The Formula WILL continue, however work is keeping me away from it now. I am WAY over committed at work so nothing has really happened on the Formula for a while now.

What speed will I see, I have no idea but I have heard 70 from a lot of people. Seem high to me but it is a small boat and a lot of power so maybe?

Jon
