Mike - I'd like that. Not in the market this year, but always wanting to see what's available and deals on pieces for the boating season. Hyper had created a post about attending the Cleveland Boat Show a while back and I mentioned that we had all met in Detroit last year. Either one works for me, but I can't go to both. Greek town for dinner after the show was the best last year for me since I had not been there before. Something about feeling the heat from a flame going to the ceiling 4 tables away is so cool! The sharing of the show was also a great way to view a boat show and the group discounts we were able to get didn't hurt either! :)

Liz and I will be attending the Detroit Show although I doubt there will be any DONZI delears in attendance.Sure would be nice if a new dealer popped up.

Goatee...sad but true. The nearest Donzi dealer to Detroit is Ski Sensations over in Brooklyn, MI. There is also one just west of Grand Rapids, called High Performance Marine. I will e-mail them to see which boat shows they are going to.

Lansing's is small and this weekend, one year Ski Sensations was there but usually they are not. High Performance Marine is usually at the Grand Rapids Boat show, it runs Feb. 11 - 16.

Tony,Skisensation went out of buisness last April,the nearest deler is in MULLETT LAKE.If you go to donzi marine and use their dealer finder,the dealer that comes up for my zip code is the DONZI factory.It makes getting warrinty repairs impossible seeing how the factory will not except the boat back for warranity repairs. :rolleyes:

Ohio, Michigan, Indiana folks. I placed my zip code in the dealer locator and got this dealer in Fairfield, OH. It would be a hike I know for those of you up north in MI, but it appears to be a pretty straight shot down I-75 south.

I haven't talked with anyone there yet, but I'll give them a call to see what their boat show plans are. The Cincinnati show would make sense, but that is a haul for most of you as would Detroit be for them.

PREFERRED POWER MARINE
5850 DIXIE HWY
FAIRFIELD, OH, 45014
(513) 874-3333

Hope we all can get together somewhere this winter. I really enjoyed meeting you all last year.

I planned on going again this year. It would be nice if we could get everyone together again and do a full day like last year ( show and dinner ).

-------Hasnt there been a northern (lake Erie) DONZI dealer that has participated in the Detroit show the last several years?I agree I think they only had one boat,but its something.With all the money in Detroit,I just cant understand a dealership on Jefferson not finding DONZI a profitable line to carry...........Bill S......ol red!

15th as of now works for me. Maybe I can even get Beth and Allison out of bed at 4 AM to come with me this time. "I promise honey, no new boat this year" (With fingers crossed just in case. LOL) :D wink :D
