My old Z with the same power/drive would do about the same. I could get 51 GPS with a 21 cleaver...but that was about it. I think mine was a bit tired, but I don't think you are too far out of the...

I never had the privilege to speaking to Randy, but through posts and a few emails (props...of course!) I truly felt like I knew him...my condolences to Barb, his family, and the entire Donzi.net...
I remember those days well...I don't visit every day any more...but I still check in often. I remember the day Gene's boat was stolen very vividly!
As the person who bought Keith's last boat...I have to say you will not possibly be disappointed with the condition of this one...the 30 year old classic I bought was immaculate, I can only imagine...
So sorry for your loss...
Congrats on the new ride...I had an '88 for several years and had a ton of fun with that boat. I really miss the sun-pad and the cuddy!
Could you post another picture or two? I notice that this...
Thanks for the compliment...I agree that a gathering up in "neutral" waters would be a great idea... (In addition to a Chelan gathering)...I am not familiar enough with those parts to come up with...
I've actually been thinking of trying to revive the original Lake Chelan gatherings of the past...including camping at 25 mile creek (Fester is right about the "tightness" of some of us...$200 a...
If I recall the story...something like sold for 520 Million, only had 20 Million in debt...you can do the math :-)
He has a home on the same lake as my parents...currently listed for something...
Congrats on your move!
I have yet to fail selling something on CL. I sold a motorcycle for more than I should have gotten in 47 minutes (got the call 2 minutes after the ad hit)...sometimes it has taken several re-lists...
The definition of a "Classic"
The definition of a "Real" Donzi
and for the big boat guys....inward or outward rotation
May he rest in Peace...
I will break out my TV Yellow LP Special and multi-track recorder in his memory...talk about an amazing legacy of invention and innovation!
Nope...Mom was there too... :wink:
Thanks all for the kind words...I was really shocked at my emotional reaction to his enjoying it so much...who knew:yes:
This weekend I finally was able to get my Son (Jake - 14 months) out for his first boat ride. It was typical Seattle August weather (60 degrees and cloudy)...but we bundled up and tooled around the...
I was out in my 18 on Friday, saw a blue 22, a White/graphic (97ish) 22, and a Teal Z21...not as many as years past, but then again, it was only Friday.
Maybe if we can get a few more of these...
I know...it's been a few years since that has happened! I'm actually heading out to the log boom to watch the Angels and the Hydro's qualify today... of course, it's now cloudy and 60 degrees...but...
Agreed...we've never had a run of weather like this! I guess if this is Global Warming - sign me up!
I actually chose to ride the bus to work today...as it was actually Too hot to ride the bike...
Impeller + Rubbermaid Tub worked great...she's pumpin' water now! :yes:
Thanks all for for your help!

Thanks Lenny...I'll be heading to target tonight to grab a coffin sized Rubbermaid (that's going to be harder to carry in the toolbox than the muffs though :bonk:)
One of the main motivators of...
Thanks again for the responses...I'm really thinking the combination of a 5+ year-old impeller combined with the use of muffs may be causing my issue. Since it did work after "priming" the pump with...
Thanks for the responses (it's handy when you buy a boat from another member :wink:)...I got the pump out today, it's an F6B9...
The Impeller really doesn't seem bad, is it possible to be bad...
I made the attempt today to start the 18 for the first time in 2 years...and it appears I've got a bit of a cooling problem.
The boat actually started just fine (on the hose), but after not...
We did the Cayman thing on a cruise a few years ago...I lasted about 3 minutes and then somehow levitated myself back on the boat...Kath lasted about a minute longer than I did...just not my...
Any Pics? I've got a '76 18 with a "Cream" Hull and Burgandy Stripe...the Burgandy must have been popular in '76...I'd love to see the GT...
Thanks,
