My 66 is done!!

[Jasonbighands]

I'm so proud. My favorite part is that it is as retro as we could get it. It also is the prettiest boat in person I've ever seen.....Dad agrees as well. Happy looking! Nov 2003 to Feb 07, well worth the wait.

Hi Jason, You and your Dad have 2 of the finest looking Donzi's that I have seen!! I hope to see both of them in person this year.:yes
The 18 is looking like the day it left you!

[ATLDONZI]

absolute bliss.... that is beautiful! :cool!:

[Jasonbighands]

Thanks Brad, now we can meet @ Brookville, since I have a boat now. Glad to hear your 18 is still living the good life.

[WA-LO]

Awsome job , many hours in those boats and trailers!!!

[McGary911]

Simply beautiful. First rate job. Don't be afraid to get it wet now :wink:

Is that gel or paint?

Both our rigs are painted by the guys at Skater Performance Cats, Saugatuck...

I'm serious..that red boat of Jason's is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Kudo's to Randy (Whalerman) Crum of Saugatuck. It is because of him that those boats look the way that they look.

Rootsy & Patti.
If your looking at this, can you alert Matty that Jason's boat is done? He was such a big help answering my questions while the restoration process was goin' on.. Hope he (and you) like it...Oh, and no more temperature jokes, Patti, I promise....

Wow! Set the way-back machine. Speechless - good thing I only have to type.

Which Solas did you end up using?

Holy crap...that boat is GORGEOUS!

From the outdrive to the shift knob, from the sight glass fuel guage to the Bilt Rite interior, from the decals to the exhaust tips, from the engine to the trailer...everything is stunning.

How cool would it be to have your boat, your dads, and Rootsy's red mistress all together at a mid-week Wampler's Lake gathering...now that would be a real photo op!


:beer:

[K-WELLS]

STUNNER----great job

[Craig S]

Beautiful boat, bud. Great inspiration!!!

[Donzigo]

Two classy boats................and two of the best jobs I have ever seen.

Stunning, absolutely stunning..............you both have a lot to be proud of.

[Barry Eller]

Marvelous...Simply Marvelous....

I would not dare put that in the water!

Put it in a Museum, behind glass! Look, don't touch!:fire:

[CHACHI]

Excellent job, hold your head high........................now get the gas key off the key ring and replace it with something soft.

Jason, the boat is beautiful. I guess the seed doesn't fall far from the tree after all. I guess I will have to make another trip to Indy this year after all, if for no other reason to see your boats, and maybe take a ride or give one in mine. Randy is truly an artiest in all respects. I have enjoyed talking to all three of you and it isn't over yet. Your spare prop is coming.

[MOP]

Got here too late! All the best things have been said! Have a great time with a great boat! Should say BOATS!!!!

Phil

[Eugene Nahemow]

Beautiful boats. It always a great relief to have it finished.
Now run the hell out of them!!
They were never intended to be trailer queens.

[Lenny]

Unreal, that thing is Beautiful.

Incredible job :yes:

[Rootsy]

Nice bloody job! I like it :) But i don't feel bad now as i'm only 2 years in and this one took 4 :bonk: I hope you enjoy it and she runs well

[Magicallbill]

Rootsy..Did you read my post to you on the 1st page of this thread?

On behalf of Jason and myself..Thank you all!!
To have guys like Donzigo. Eugene, Lenny, Grizz, and, heck, everyone dig the boat..That means a lot..They are the Donzi Authority!
Tony;
We are up for the mid-week gathering..I think you mentioned it a few months ago..Keep us informed.
By The Way..Randy was looking for props..testing, etc. Lenny hooked us up with Grizz..he immediately knew what to prop the rigs with..Sent us the Solas 23's.Boats run perfectly..Problem solved..Grizz is the Prop Guru..No doubt.

Jerry Eisele..Are you looking??
"Little Blue" has a sister!!

[gcarter]

Jason, very fine looking boat!

[vonkamp]

Beautiful boats, great job. Thanks for the pics. :yes:

[ITTLFLI]

Incredible!!:eek!:

[Jerry Eisele]

"WOW" That is out of sight!! I'm going to be in Indy in mid April on Wednesday eve. the 18th and would love to see the Hays Boat Museum!! They both look outstanding. You all have set the bar a little out of reach, keep up the super work!!:wink:

Bill,

what did the boys at Skater lay down for paint on that boat... and what color is that specifically... the Red anyway.. that is the EXACT color i am lookin for on the Mistress...

[smoothie]

Well planned...well executed....nice!!!

[Magicallbill]

You all are great..Thanks so much for all the kudos..As Jason said, the fact that it's as original as we could get it is a huge part of our satisfaction.
Rootsy;
I will make calls today to find out the particulars on the paint..

Went ahead and called Randy while I was thinkin' about it.

Great looking boat. In the early 1970's my older brother bought the sister boat - the Cobalt XV-200 (blue & white) which looks almost identical. What a sweet looking ride.

[superhatz]

Thank you for making it as original looking as possible.......your dad's boat looks perfect too......

[Jasonbighands]

Thanks for all the nice complements. Hopefully Dad and I can meet and Boat with as many of you fellow Donzi'ers as possible.
