Getting excited now......MMM MMMM MMMM Sounds like a Donzi party in route. Ofcourse you count the Aaron Boys in. wink
Hey Bud that 22 looks familiar now. Hope you dont mind, I loved yours so much I had to get her twin sister. :D
Nate, Fish, Buddy, and J And B, are you guys going out this weekend?? If so we should all get together. I think Shell or a run anywhere is in the mix. Call me or Poppa Donzi if you want to catch up with us. 407-234-3053. Should be out Sat. and Sun. early afternoon after some engine maintaince.

DonzigoJR

How bout it. Is this all we gather for a Donzi party. Hell it was raining last time and we had a bigger response. Does someone have a better idea for a place to put this together? Different location? Im open for any other ideas you guys may have....

Jr, sorry I haven't replied sooner, I have been on Vacation. You can count on Bea and I being there. It should be a good time as always. Maybe the weather will treat us right and we can make a run out to Egmont Key.

John

DonzigoJR
07-15-2003, 05:26 PM
Sounds good to me...We went to Egmont on Sun. to look for you and Steve and no luck. We'll see you there and probably a couple other places in between. :D

Donzigo
07-24-2003, 06:28 AM
Still on.............the newest little 22 Classic of Jr's is undergoing major heart transplant surgery, at the moment. :( :( We'll be in the Z-33. :cool: :cool:

Jodi and I are counting the days. Really ready for alittle RandR. Work is starting to get in the way of all the fun we want to have.

Cuda
07-29-2003, 02:02 PM
If Donzigo can get the 33 wherever we are going, I follow in the 302. :)

Donzigo
07-29-2003, 08:35 PM
Cuda,

This is Donzigo Jr.s gig; so, I'm along for the trip......But, I think we're going to the sand bar at Shell Island. Heck, we go out there just about every weekend. There is no problem with large performance boats and even cruisers.

Then, maybe the Wharf or the Bridgeview, depending on the turn out.

See ya there.

Donzigo & The Smila-girl.........

07-29-2003, 08:42 PM
I met Ted at Spectere today for a while. Hey, nice boats.........so, anybody know how we could get the "Ted-man" out to our little gig?

How bout it, Ted? What does it take?

07-29-2003, 09:08 PM
Hmm, think this thing will be ready to go by then?

Donzigo, which side of the island do you go to? We were out Saturday and looked for you on the south side, and we cruised outside of the north side. I didn't go through the cut on the north side.

You never did tell me what you were doing with Jr's 22. What did you find out?

Donzigo
07-30-2003, 02:53 PM
We go on the North side. It's loads of fun.......

Jr's 22 Classic is taken apart, now. It's at the house on the lift. The engine is being built by my buddy, Gary King. We are going back with a stock 350 w Alpha. It goes about 60MPH, plenty fast enough. The outdrive is fine. We threw away the so-called 350 stroker motor, it was an "untruth". It was no stroker motor. Distance of pistons was 3.5 inches, not a stroker motor. Oh well, live and learn. The rest of the boat is fine.

See ya soon.

Richard, it was good seeing you yesterday,
I wont have my little X-18 Scorpion project finished for a while.
It will be my salt water boat....I'll be ready to hang with you guys when its finished :)
Ted

Budmann

Ain't nothin wrong with the 350/alpha setup. Been doing it for years, and if I would just stop #$%%# with it, things would be great. We will be there in the Z-25. Can't wait. Also, will be bring my little 5 year old daughter, so if anyone has kids, bring them.

07-31-2003, 03:45 PM
count me in... I am bringing my 7 year old...

DonzigoJR
08-12-2003, 10:25 AM
How bout everyone.....Are we still on for this weekend???? I know that we were going strong for a little while for a good show, but it seems as if this party has died out.....Who is planning on getting together with us this weekend? Come on its Tuesday and theres only three more days before another Donzi weekend. Can I get a head count?

Cuda
08-12-2003, 02:34 PM
Count us in, I'm just nervous about the north side of Shell Island. The Kaama's don't maneuver that well at low speeds, and space is tight there.

Speed-Racer
08-12-2003, 03:58 PM
I think the SEA DOGS, should have regional areas. You guys need to be the "St. Pete SEA DOGS", seems like all the time you guys go out lol :p . It's like making a phone call and saying "Hey let's go out next weekend."

In any case, keep having fun, and keeping the name alive! :cool:

Cuda
08-12-2003, 05:19 PM
Hey Speed Racer, where the hell is Poala Florida? I've been all over this state. :)

Jamesbon
08-12-2003, 08:38 PM
"We're" in! :D :D :D

Cuda, it's in Sanford just North of Orlando and it's pretty much an intersection, however it is on Mapquest!

If you lived here, you'd see why I say Paola :p

Fish boy
08-13-2003, 07:54 AM
Speed Racer, I am also in the orlando area, but like the Tamapa bay stuff. Ther eis only so much running around in a circle on a lake you can do. You should try the T.Bay once, I think you will like it.

donzigo, My dad used to race boats against Gary King 30 years ago. He could make an engine sing back in the day, I am sure he has only gotten better since then. Cant wait to see Jr's boat together.

Donzigo
08-13-2003, 08:03 AM
I got to see Jr's engine run onthe stand yesterday. What a beast!

For those who don't know what the get together at Shell Island is like, here's a picture of John & Bea chatting with someone? That's where we will be........on the sand bar. Cuda, there's plenty of room for your 30.

We will be there. Both days if the weather cooperates. Richard, since your cooler doesn't hold too much :p should I go ahead and bring provisions for your crowd?

Unfortunately business called and I had to run north with a clients Sea Ray, the old orange monster has not progressed much the past couple of weeks, hopefully Hometown Rally! I'm dying to see jr.'s new boat...........

Cuda

Donzigo:
Cuda, there's plenty of room for your 30.
http://www.donzi.net/photos/RAaron139Shell.jpg Richard, I thought I was going to take out a whole line of boats in there with just the 242! And it handled much better at low speed than the 302.

Speed-Racer
08-13-2003, 06:43 PM
FishBoy, we come down all the time, and we love it there! Your right lots more room ro run, and explore! I was just stating that the St. Pete guys go out everyweekend! :p

Donzigo
08-13-2003, 09:04 PM
Speed-Racer, that's not true, we don't go out on Christmas Day..........then again, there was that one day that I took Jr. out on his new wakeboard behind the Z-25..........oops, guess I was wrong again.

Budmann
08-14-2003, 08:32 AM
Jodi and I are still in!!

DonzigoJR
08-14-2003, 04:03 PM
Looks like good weather for this weekend......Im so upset my babies not ready yet but soon. Look forward to the weekend we'll be looking for everyone. Give me a call at 407-234-3053 for any info, or call Richard at 727-709-2918

Hey guys/Gals we might stop by on sunday I dont get back from CA. until sat night. Shelby is only 8 months old so we probably will only get in 2 or 3 hrs but its its better than a kick in the ass.

Jamesbon
08-15-2003, 06:02 PM
Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday. Are we meeting on the sandbar at Shell Island? 1'ish?

Cuda
08-15-2003, 07:55 PM
Sounds good to me. How bout it Donzigo(s)? :)

Donzigo
08-15-2003, 08:12 PM
We're gonna be out there both days..........Ok, by me. Cuda, we usually help the big guys like you to anchor, etc. We know how hard it is to have all that HP to have to deal with - :-)

Cuda
08-15-2003, 08:19 PM
Richard, could you go ahead and dredge the channel for me too?? :)
