Several of you guys have mentioned 007. What are you talking about? Didn't Aronow race a 28 footer in the 60's numbered 007? Does someone own this boat?

If so...ahem....gonna need some pictures of that one.

Thanks

Ha!
Now here is a guy who knows his Aronow history huh?
Yes, the story of the very first Donzi is very acurate. 007 was a 28 footer used exclusively for racing and put Donzi forever on the lips of frightened Bertram owners the world over.
My boat, a 1966 18-2+3, is one of the first 18's made. The hull number had been lost years ago, but the fact that it is one of the first 18's made is evidenced by the three engine hatches and the barrel back transom. 67's had the barrel back transom, but the three engine hatches had been replaced with a single hatch.
I dubbed my boat 007 in memory of the 28 footer, the very first Donzi ever built.
Pictures are available in the registry.
Thanks for letting me explain that...again!!!!!

Thanks Gene, sorry you had to explain that again....I'm new here.

Unfortunately here to stay. So get used to more stupid questions from superhatz cuz I love cool old Aronow machines.

P.S. your barrel back 18 rules!...surely one of the coolest boats ever made.
