[Greg Guimond]

Wow ...............!!!!!

Nice touch on the back up light

[scippy]

Scott, I've been fortunate to see some of your work in progress on the Hornets restoration over the last couple of years, "the Sting" has turned out absolutely gorgeous!........kudos to you and your right hand man Matty. Where did you get the stern lifting eye? seems identical to what I need for my Magnum sport............................................. .................Thanks, Scippy

[mattyboy]

Nice progress Scott bet ya Paul was happy and surprised :)

you don't do bad work by yourself ;) :p

wish my hornet was almost ready for lake george


we are gonna have to rework the hornet for my setup a little

maybe a stogie and a martini glass in his hands

and for your hornet we can have him giving the finger ;)



nice I like it very much

[Scott Pearson]

I think that little guy should be our Hornet mascot...we can alter him however you like. I have the image in high res. so we can add or change things. I like the middle finger thing.....:)

[Sweet Cheekz]

Simply magnificent!

Is she making an apearence at AOTH?

Well done
Parnell

[Scott Pearson]

Not going to make AOTH. Just have to much going on here and I will not be finished working the bugs out once its done. Wish I could make it.

[Sweet Cheekz]

We'll miss you but looking forward to seeing it at the dustoff.

Now back to the regular schedule already in progress:biggrin.:

[Scott Pearson]

The lifting eyes are factory for the Bench Seat Hornets at that time. Thanks for the great complements!

[mattyboy]

Scott,

have the ramp ,dock space and a chase boat all lined up for the water test

just let me know when ;)


I'm telling you the mascot would look great on the ultimate with a 2 handed bronx salute

just picture it

the ultimate on one side of the transom and the bronx salute on the other

it would read

the ultimate FU :p

[mattyboy]

Scippy

i think they were made by chris craft or they make something similar

algonac in michigan might be a source but it would be raw and need to be chromed

Thanks Matty.

[mattyboy]

the lift ring part of that cleat is very similar to the lift rings on the 72 cig minus the cleat part. different from the rings used on the classics at the time

[mattyboy]

It is alive

:yes: :yes: :yes:

[HOWARD O]

Man alive, is that thing pretty on the water or what? What a rare sight to behold! It's like seeing the rarest of Ferraris out for that rare Sunday drive or something. Normally I'd have some jealousy or envy, but it's just shear appreciation. Kind of like seeing a museum piece.

Scott, HUGE congratulations! All Donzi afficianados owe you a big thank you not only for saving that boat in the first place, but doing the restoration it deserved. It's just........ awesome. :yes:

Sure can't wait to see it in person someday.

Howard

[Scott Pearson]

Thank you Howard. It runs as good as it looks also. I think she will do close to 73-74 MPH. What a great ride!

I will post some pictures on another thread also.

[Ghost]

Looks fantastic.

(If that's dirty, I'm ashamed for you to see my boat clean... :) )

Mike

[McGary911]

Scott. It turned out beautifully. Every bit as nice as the 18, but a lot rarer. Howard's right, it looks spectacular on the water.

Good luck with it. :alligator
