Get them out there tomorrow! I just had my parents out on the Hornet this past week for their first ride in the Donzi. They were all smiles, My dad is 75 and my mother is 73. Stopped by their dock and they came down for a ride. Then when I got them in the boat they were complaining that they left their cocktails on the deck! We had alot of laughs and good memories of the "Donzi" that was on our lake in the early 70's. Out in the middle of Iowa pops a yellow 18 2+3 and into our neighbors lift in 1970. That was big nuts on our small lake. The P's loved the sound of that boat, even at 2am.
Carry your father out to your boat!
