also known as "Bouy Boy" or "the Dork!" Nobody asked you to stop coming to the Awakening, so where have you and the red head been? If you show, I promise to say nothing about that silver stripe, until at least the second day.

Looking forward to seeing you on the lake and I guess you are coming by default, since you posted on the attendance thread!

[Dr. Dan]

Too early to tell for us. We'd love to, but it depends on how busy we are at work. Too bad it wasn't this month, it's the slowest I've been in five or six years. Start cranking up again next week.

:spongebob Dude? As El Jefe', ya have to expect that your CoPilot is gonna have some scheduling conflicts....so ya make a plan B... although I am sure visually we will all have to get prepared to see Scott VanAlstine in a Red Bikini, and I suggest Welding Glasses to anyone attending should you come across this sight? Ah Jeff... ya need to plan on coming... Lizard is otherwise engaged... I am driving from the Far East...

You can do this...we have faith in ya.. plus you're such a Weenie for not hauling to Lake Winnie every year. Pull yourself together man....think of the indigestion, the uncommon odors that will likely spew from your Truck at moments of Random Armadillos in your path trying to prevent you from attending the Awakening...:cool:

We have faith in you... plus we really need someone to haul more Beer and Tequilla... so get your Ass up to the land of KY? Ah, I mean slide on into something more comfortable?

[Tony]

Cherrie and I recently went from unlikely to very likely.
We attended I & II, then had a 3 year hiatus due to high school sports. So, we are fired up to be re-attendees!

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[boldts]

Hey all. First looking very forward to seeing you. I know I'm a little late in requesting this, but could those of you who have not mentioned what engine and drive is pushing your Donzi, could you go back and edit your post for me?

The folks from Turbo props have asked me to let them know what type of boat along with which engine and drive combo will be in attendance. Every couple of weeks, I'll send them an updated list so they can bring props you all might be interested in trying on your boats.

Also, those of you arriving on Wednesday, Chris is looking for volunteers to do some prop testing for them. So, if your interested in trying something that may have just come off the drawing board, look Chris Booe from Precision propellers up once you arrive.

We're almost ready to introduce the shirt design for this year. I've had a bit of a setback from a boat company named Formula. Seems they would prefer that their name not be displayed along side the great companies who have evolved from Don Aronow started companies. They are in fact, the only company who is not blessing the idea. Michael Aronow has given us permission to use any pictures from his book we would like to include. So, I know it will be a fantastic, once in a lifetime design. If any of you have some strings in the Thunderbird factory, I'd really appreciate you pull them. However, if they still wish to not be included on our shirt, so be it. Sorry Formula owners who might be in attendance and want a piece of boating history. Isn't the boat with twin 900 HP engines a Formula that is planning to hang with us? They just don't get it, they are worried about a Formula dealer on Cumberland worried about compitition rather than the owners who buy their boats. This gathering is about the owners who own these boats, not the companies who build those boats. Maybe a few Formula owners on OSO would be interested in this news? I know, I'll get 10 phone calls tonight telling me to cool off and unwrite this post. How is free advertising for boats we love wrong?

Climbing down off the soapbox now. Back to letting us know your coming. By the way Doc, extremely glad your making the trip and bringing more of the East Coast owners with you. This gathering is known about not only here on the Registry though. You may be surprised just how many attend that are totally unaware of the Registry. I'm working to help spread that word.

[Dr. Dan]

:spongebob Scott, I would be interested in trying a 26 TXP Turbo ( Flo-Torque Hubbed) and also a regular 26 3 Blade Turbo.

If they have a 24 4 Blade (Hydro Quad 4) equivalent... I would like to try that as well. :beer:

I may still have a couple of other Roosters in the House yet...not sure if they will come, but there has been interest expressed. We shall see what time brings....

Doc - Keeper of the Roosters Tail :cool:

[Donzi Di]

SURPRISE!!!!

Cliff and I will be there. We won't be bringing a boat so hopefully we will be able to jump in with people.

We will be arriving in Jamestown sometime between 9 and 10 on Thursday night.

Looking forward to seeing both of you guys in Kentucky!

I'm sooo feeling the love here!!!! Everyone knows Jefe can't go without me - I am his star driver....I doubt Scot can get out of a ticket when they get pulled over for going 90mph down the freeway by flashing his cleavage to the state police.....then again Harbormaster may have a secret I don't know about :eek: :eek: :rlol: :rlol: He could always borrow one of my tini bikinis.
Anyways - have no fear - looks like my trial will be reset and we will hit the road running as planned. won't know for a while for sure yet - lets just hope opposing counsel gets his Continuance granted by the Judge soon!

. Isn't the boat with twin 900 HP engines a Formula that is planning to hang with us? .
I don't know that Willie has any pull. I know he mentioned last year how much fun we were compared to the Formula club...said that of the 6 that attended in '04, they were stuffy and whined:bawling: about his triple 900HP+ motors were not stock and blah blah! I'll email him and see, but wouldn't count on much!

[boldts]

Triple 900HP engines - now that'sperformance boating in what ever boat they are in. Yea, Tom, really surprised me that Formula took that attitude. After all, we're supporting their boats, not knocking them.

Might be time I post a little post on OSO to bring Formula owners attention to the problem. I did not get a return response from them. Now, if I really wanted to push the issue, Michael Aronow has given me permission to use any picture from his book "The King of Thunderboat Row" of which the Formula logo is present. I just would rather have their blessings on the deal. I don't need some boat company sueing my arse. The new 27ZR must really have them scared....:biggrin:

Now the flip side of that is Magnum. They've gone to the trouble of placing a notification on the home page of their website letting their owners know they are welcome to join us. Yea, most of their boats are way out of our price range new, but what a first class operation to look at a little Donzi club and jump on board. Nothing like having a Magnum owner from Switerland join the club and the description of their boat is 44' long with twin Cat diesels and Arneson ASD-10s. What a machine that must be! Can't wait to ask him for a picture of the boat. :)

[vrod02]

Vrod and Shanno will be there!
The 19 supernova 302x2 wont be finished.
I'll bring the 1972 19ft Monza marine 351/volvo 21p merc prop

Doc you made your point. I just figured nobody wanted me around unless I had a hot chick with me. You know all those Clip-On motors and stuff.

But never fear, even if Angel can't make it....I'm sure there are several Donzi Chicks I could Shamelessly Sexually Harrass:biggrin:

Don't forget your RED BIKINI's Ladies.

...AND there ain't NO WAY I'm letting HM into a Bikini.....I don't how much money we could make keeping teh photois off the Net. I simply could not live with myself:puke:

[Dr. Dan]

:wavey: Soooo a Month Out.... do we have a rough total boat count yet? Is Todd really gonna lace my BBQ with ExLax?

Will Mark promise to hold Todds head underwater until he swears to "Wear Only Cotton To Corporate Board Room Negotiation Meetings?" :D

:smash: Will El Jefe show up in his School Girl Outfit,including Bobby Socks?

Will Riggle & the Italian Dude(Joey P) show up sporting serious Woodies?:spongebob

Will Poodle actually Brush his Hair? :rlol:

Will Buizilla tell Fireside Stories of why Buicks aren't just for Blue Haired People? :spongebob

Will John Schabbas bring the most spectacular Hornet known to mankind?

Will Cliff and Diana ever own a Boat that Runs(again)?

Hmmmm, the World will never know? I am counting 27 Boats total with 15 Classics (1-16,3-18's, and 11-22's) 5 other Donzis + assorted other related Floating Toys. If everyone listed actually comes, this also includes The Grizmeister:wavey:

No Donzi right now, but this year I plan to be in attendance the whole weekend. No fear Doc. It's looked small before only to find I've clicked off 70 pictures of every boat in attendance. Don't forget, we've invited the Cigarette crowd, Formula crowd, Magnum crowd, Squadron XII crowd and USA Racing crowd over on OSO. Might be real interesting who all shows up. If it will make you happy though, I can check with the Resort and see how room reservations are going. That may give a better indication of attendance. Just 29 more days..... Can't wait!

[Dr. Dan]

:smash: Sounds like a fun crowd Scott...I am looking forward to seeing everyone... running the Boats is always great...but it's the time I spend with the friends there ... that I remember most.

Can't wait to catch up with everyone.... it's been a long boring Winter... over here on the Right Coast. :spongebob

I am placing the finishing touches on the "Donzi Hard Wear", I am anxious to see it all come together.

Patti and I should be arriving Wednesday night or in the worst case scenario Thursday. Can't wait. It's been a long winter.

Also, I know Eliminator Connie will be in attendance with a friend and is reportedly leaving Thursday. She knows of at least one more Donzi from Whitmore Lake, MI who's going that I don't see a reply from. I'll try and get a head count from her. Looks like it's going to be a great turnout. See ya

I'll be bringing my son-in-law Friday. So, two of us for the weekend. Boatless, so well be bumming rides. I'm a good mate and codriver, Jay, my son-in-law, is 6' 4" of enthusiastic ballast:) .

:biggrin.: Phil...Glad you guys can make it... I think Sommerville really could use some "Ballast" to stabilize his complicated Transom Assembly...
I think a boat with 3 guys over 6' Tall & Jill the Boat Mynx...

should see at least 67.348GPS Speeds....:bonk:

Which is perfect for Sommerville!

Look Forward to Seeing You Guys :biggrin.:

[boldts]

E-mail from a 10yr. Lake Cumberland boater planning to attend with a 303 Formula. Docking at Jamestown and staying onboard I believe. Be a great person to talk to about sites and areas to go to on the lake. Didn't give me people count, but sounded like wife or gf was coming with.

Man am I tempted to give you all a preview of the shirts for this year. I'll save them for a surprise though. By the way, those of you unable to make the gathering, shirts will go on sale after the gathering. Plan is to make a shirt for each attending person a gift from the club. So if you want first dibs on a one of a kind Don Aronow shirt, be there. (Those of you who have contacted me about shirts, don't worry, your in my notes. :) )

BTW, the resort will be releasing any held rooms on May 1st. At last communication, there were only 10 rooms still available. So, if you want to be there and have a room at the gathering headquarters, make your room reservations right away or contact me and I'll call to have a room held for you. If it turns out that something comes up and you can't make it, room cancellation can be made up until a week before arrival.

Did I read where WA-LO is planning to be in attendance? If you haven't met John, his lovely wife and newest member Shelby, it's a must do. Believe me, once you see the Donzi Hornet named WA-LO and hear it idling out of the marina, you'll never forget that boat! Just one reason I can't wait to see the 28' Sportsman John is currently restoring.

[J&K SHAHBAS]

Well our plans just got stomped. Kathy and Shelby have to be at Duke for testing the 17-20th so it looks like we wont be there this year. Hope all is well with everyone and we look forward to the next get together. Thanks for all the nice words Scott you put alot of work into a great event.

See Yaa !!! Take lots of pics!

[Dr. Dan]

:smash: John ..give our best to Shelby & Kathy... maybe we can hook up in the Fall in Sarasota.

:spongebob Any other last minute attendees?.... So what is gonna be the Beverage of Choice during this Event?

Vodka Tonics,Beer,Margarita's Sommerville Style.. Bloody Mary's.. or Moonshine by Gerometa?

I think I will be bringing some Brews, some Wine and some Vodka and Mixers...:cool:

I need to find some Ashtons & Romeo & Julietta's for the Evil Twin...after all it's the only true way he will ever truly "smoke me!" :spongebob
