No message of earth shaking importance here, just wanted to say "Hi" to all. I've been looking for a forum to talk about DONZI stuff, looks like I hit the jackpot. Been an avid powerboater for 33 yrs or so, and still remember my first ride in a Donzi, it was on Lake Winnipesaukee NH, I was all of seven yrs old. I was hooked. Now that I am older and "wiser" and "smarter with money" I bought my 33ZX in June. (So much for having any money) She runs stock 502's/Bravo 1's. The boat is awesome, I love it! Re-did the boat with no graphics, just Imron white topsides and a simple traditional Donzi logo at the quarters. The design and lines of the boat speak for themselves...I stand and stare at her like Homer Simpson looks at a cold beer. I'll post some pics soon. My Thanks to the organizers of this site and to all the members!
have a Damn Donzi day!
p.s. anybody else get goosebumps every time they fire off their motor(s)?

Digger,
I only have a little 18' Classic from 1969, but the goose bumps are experienced here in Ohio also. I love starting the boat up and backing her off the trailer at our local lake. Usually the next 1/2 hour is spent answering onlookers questions. It's such an ego trip. Makes me feel like a kid again. Welcome to the board!

Welcome, to the best board there is!
Staring is a common past time here. I suggest you do it in the shade. I have a white 22 Criterion and it is blinding in the sun. Anyway you have found your way home. again welcom

welcome digger!!!
I get tickled everytime I race a boat that I know has a big block in it and they are barely pulling away!-that will change with a new drive/prop
matter of fact
I always have a sh*$! eating grin on my face when people look over while we are racing, and cant figure out why there not blowing me away. :D
there is my 4 cents!- yes 4 not 2 cents :p
digger you need to bring that boat up to the atlantic city A.P.B.A. race in sept .
I'll be sweeping along with frank c - who you will meet- and many other donzis.
the first time I met up with the other club members we all clicked, because we all had one passion, our boats!!!!!
Welcome aboard!!!!!! ;)
now get in that boat fire her up and rev out those 502's!!!

Not trying to get too maudlin here, but finding this site a few years ago has been the highlight of my internet experiance. I look forward to visiting the site daily. I have corresponded with some great people, learned a lot, and think that I have been a positive contributer also. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Scot for his hard work to make this a great site!
THANKS SCOT !!!!
