Frank, is this one getting super-charged? Is it a 496, or 502?

[DONZIMAN2]

Congrats Frank, Welcome to the club. Awesome difference going from the 22 to the 26. I have really had a blast with mine this year and I know Bryan is digging his as well. Look forward to the pictures of it. I know you are stoked. Be safe!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS Frank & Melissa.....
We await the pictures.

[Shanghied Again]

Thanks Everyone, If I could figure out how to get the pics up I would be fine.
She is a 2001 26 ZX, 502,415hp, Wicked Storm Paint red and black, Electric drop out bolsters, Lathem steering Halon system, Trim and gauges. Electric porta poti eith storage tank. Bravo 1 drive. The plans to supercharge are on hold for a year, I want to make sure the boat is Warranty sound. Then its pump up the HP. I kind of felt bad trading in the Legend but my family loves the bigger boat! :D

[Shanghied Again]

Well this is my 3rd attempt and I just can't get my pic on. So here I go again! http://www.donzi.net/photos/C:/New (http://www.donzi.net/photos/C:\New) donzi 4.jpg

[Shanghied Again]

Ok what am I doing wrong?

[Bryan Tuvell 33ZX]

Frank, I tried every name I could think of to find your upload.

email them to me...
Bryan

[Formula Jr]

Frank, just follow the instuctions given on the upload page. (http://www.donzi.net/uploadphoto.cfm)

And please use the convention of first initial last name and a number remembering to add the .jpg or .gif file extention. There is already a donzi4.jpg file on the server. I know I can overwrite my own stuff, so its probable I can over write someone else's stuff.

Once you have uploaded the file it should then appear on this post if you name it
fcivitano0004.jpg I always only use lowercase letters and pad the front on the number with zeros to keep the listings lined up.

Its hard to keep track of previously uploaded files so what I did was create a folder with the name of all the files I have uploaded to the donzi net system so I can check and see If I have the right file or if I'm going to accidently overwrite an old file
with a new entry.

http://www.donzi.net/photos/fcivitano0004.jpg

When using the browse function, you find the folder and then select the file name. Only the file name should showup in the browse field with the .jpg extention. Then hit upload. There's no file path in the uploaded file name. Your first attemp looks like your were trying to pull something from the "New" folder on your C: drive. You don't include this stuff in the name of the file you will upload to donzi net or use that once its on Scot's site cause you'll be placing it in the subdirectory "photos" of the donzi.net directory.

[Formula Jr]

Scott, do you really think he could wait till Christmas?
I'll put money that the charger is already ordered....... ;)


Leonids were really cool out here!

[Shanghied Again]

Believe me my brain is turning, I love the boat but when I heard 66 mph I all ready was figuring out how fast with a ProCharger, But then my wife stepped in with the 5 Year Warranty thing and said Please Give it one year to make sure the boat is ok! Hey I figured she gave up the new addition for the boat, Its the least I can do! I am going to get a pic up if it takes me all day!

[Shanghied Again]

Here we go again? http://donzi.net/photos/fcivitano01.jpg

[Bryan Tuvell 33ZX]

Frank, I am at 4800 and 67MPH.... LOL
If you get to 5000 you will be a little faster!

Hey, now you need new matching shirts!!!

Warranty is a nice thing! Especially when your hard on a boat!

Email me those pictures Frank!
Bryan

[Shanghied Again]

[Shanghied Again]

Thanks Everyone I can't wait to run her.

Bryan, Nancy, Thank You. Top it all off my Computer Crashed today, I am now back up and running. One day i will learn how to post the pics.

[CDMA]

Frank,

Congradulations! That is one of the nicest z's I have seen. Really like the graphics.


Chris

[Dr. Dan]

Frank & Mel, Looks like you made the right move, I can picture you at next years APBA events already...it looks fast standing still, that's always a good thing! Congrats and Safe Boating...we'll see ya at AOTH II, maybe a caravan, depending on when you guys leave? We're sort of on the way? ...Doc ;)

[boldts]

Frank,
Beautiful ZX! I'm usually partial to the blue paint schemes, but the storm in red looks terrific. I have to tell you, that is a storm that will be welcomed at AOTH II. Can't wait to see her in person. I finally was able to purchase a GPS thanks to Bryan Tuvell's new Donzi purchase. I won't get lost anymore, but boy have I got a speed problem to work on this winter. 5000 RPM's and only 45 MPH. Big Grizzly gave me a couple tips while I was at Sarasota. Upper 60's this weekend in OH. I had to get her out one more time. Might be time to replace the 302 with some more HP.

Congrats on the new 26 ZX! I'll update your Midwest Donzi Club listing to show the new boat. Take Care! :)

[Shanghied Again]

Thanks Everyone I really appriciate the compliments, Doc that sounds like aplan for the AOTH. I have to check with Geo and Scott Pearson if there heading out to.
Scott, You were boating in OHIO wasn't it cold!! Today its about 45 in NJ. See you soon
and Thank You

[mattyboy]

way cool!

Matt

[Shanghied Again]

Thanks Matt

[Sam]

Great graphics ! It's nice to see a boat that is tastefull yet not boring, have fun.

Sam

[RickR]

NICE!!!!!!!
Can't wait till AOTH II

[Bryan Tuvell 33ZX]

Are they going to keep her for you over the winter Frank? Good deal if so...

ScottB, glad the GPS is working out for ya.

I am done, winterized, covered, engine heater on stand by! Last thing to do is the fresh water system, next weekend.
I did just sit in her today and drink a cold one listening to some classic rock.... Soon it will be classic rock on lake cumberland!!!

[Shanghied Again]

Bryan, The boat is Winterized, They were willing to drop it in for a test run, But they have her in a nice warm spot and they have a few touch ups they have to perform. So I will settle for visitation rights until the first week of April. I will go down sit in the boat put the radio on and dream of boating again.

[Last Tango]

Frank,
Beautiful boat! Say, I have a great idea about "winterizing" your boat. "Winterize it here in Florida at my marina (dry storage available) and I will ensure that the engine and outdrive lubricants are warmed and cycled through the systems at least once a week until you pick her up in April. :D
Mark :cool:

[boldts]

Yes, Indian summer came a little late it seems. Beautiful couple days this weekend. Got a lot of those "Are you nuts?" looks at the lake while launching. You know those were the guys who were wishing they hadn't winterized yet. :D Even managed to get the Xmas lights up on the house today with-out freezing the kister off. LOL If this weather is heading your way, you may get a shot at that test ride yet. :)
