Hey ya'll, she is finally home after a brutal weekend, Poodle there is a lot more room in the 18, I can actually get in the engine compartment, :shocking: :shocking: , NOW FOR THE SHOCKING NEWS HERE IS DIANE WITH THE RUN DOWN OF EVENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey boys and girls! How was AOTH? We got our boat a weekend too late to attend, but will look forward to next year. I had never hear of "DONZI" before I met Marc (Towel Boy). This has got to be the sexiest boat I have ever seen in my life!! I'm sure you are asking, "how did you acquire this boat?" WEll, to start with the boat was a 4 1/2 hour drive away. There was miscommunication between the seller and ourselves in the meeting time, so we spent 1 1/2 hours in the sweltering 90+ degree heat waiting on the "baby" to arrive. We received a call from the Seller that he was behind schedule and would meet us at Boater's World. When we arrived, it was love at first sight. There was a SMALL problem with the picture. The trailer had rusted through, began to buckle and was seriously threatening to harm our "baby". We made a few calls and found a trailer which was ONLY 1 1/2 hours away from where we were. We decided to take the boat on a sea trial before making the trek to get the trailer. We launched her and OH BOY, was I really in love now! The sound was pheonominal!! She ran like a dream. We came back to the landing only to hear a fisherman scream, "You've caught my line!" We proceeded to shut down the engine and dock the boat. Towel Boy leaned over the back transom but there was no line attached to our boat. The line was apparently attached at the other end to a really large "fish" because when the line was freed what floated to the surface? A man. No really, a body came up out of the water. The sheriff's dept, fire, ems and coroner all showed up and did their thing. Meanwhile, we make the 3 hour round trip journey to get the trailer. We get back to the landing where the poor seller was loyally waiting by the "baby" guarding her until our return. He was a real trooper and we really appreciated all his help! We put her on her new trailer. She is home now and we tucked her in for her first night here. Hope to see all of you soon somewhere out on the water. Stay safe. Diane and Marc (Towel Boy).e
