Our family is fairly "photographically" oriented. The recently completed "Rumble Dee" was the subject of many pictures during our vacation.

Below are just a few that I thought others might enjoy, especially during the winter.

There are 3 photos showing the boat literally jumping out of the water. I am amazed at the power of this engine/Solas 19 prop combination.

Great pics! I'm a elbows up, camera kind of guy too.

I really like the series of the boat getting up, where each pic, your smile gets progressively BIGGER. Makes it all worth it, doesn't it?
The boat looks great!

I'm not far from you, NW Indiana by Michigan City, btw.

aww man...that is so nice seeing the boat used by your family in a great location and having a blast. Those pics just show the smile that a Donzi owner has when everything is going right (and the boat looks just perfect).

Like what everyone else said the Dee is lookin & performing great!
One question though, how many hours did it take for that Big Grin of yours to subside?
Ps
Pic #10 should be your new avatar

Wow - really great pics. I'm guessing you did a bit more than pull out a point and shoot and hope for the best
(my typical technique)

Awesome Bill.

I love the last one with the Sunfish and rowboat sitting quietly at the dock.

Thanks for posting.

Bill,
All that work really paid off by seeing the pictures - :yes: I hope you are as proud of the restoration as you should be - it is gorgeous and looks like it runs great too. Your family looks like they are having a blast. Another Bill

Oh my Gosh!

Just seeing that picture makes me itch.

Dusty, for sure.

The satisfaction is that with all the work, it turned out well. I could have done as much work, and then not been satisfied with it.

More enjoyment is just hours away :)
