Best to ya' Randy..Take it easy..You've got all winter to re-coup and launch in for spring 2010..
I agree also..I have great respect for G.Carter and have enjoyed reading his take on things throughout the years.
I respectfully submit that he is underestimating Scott Baxter's contributions and...
Cleaned and waxed in my shop, then moved into our unheated storage section for the winter.
Both Ski Sporters covered to keep off dust.
To whom may be able to help...
I have a friend who is trying to upload a video of our 2 16 Ski Sporters and Gold-N'-Rod's 16 running by the dock on Portage Lake, N. Michigan.

Exactly right Tony..
Plenty of mid-range..I just shut it off at about 4800 on the tach. Here it's just North of 60 and starting to become a handful to drive.
I should also mention that the 23 Solas...
I, like Matty hold a lot of stock in having the Donzi's as close to original as possible. It would've been a great satisfaction to be able to have the 1st engine in it and running.
That wasn't...
I add my wishes for a great fall for you and the Missus..Hope your Birthday was grand...
If the boat gets your approval, I am satisfied. Thanks again for the H/M insight...
Thanks Matt and Bertram..
I'll have to ask Jerry when I talk to him next if he knows what happened to the original 289 in mine.
So, I've tried the search feature here and cannot find the yellow...
ID# 6816414 from Jerry's handwritten bill of sale.
He also wrote on there that it's a '68, but Matty says it's a '67.

For Matty, G.Carter,,Jay Lurie,Bertram Boy,Grizz..

Just had my 16 winterized and will wax it tomorrow for it's long winter's nap.

Had a great time with Gold-N-Rod on Portage this summer...
Cool dude with a great boat..
Someone grab this one..It is showroom clean...
Don't forget twice the cost..
I speak from experience.
Two more observations..The decal shown is the dolphin/lion logo that I thought was implemented in the early 70's replacing the British...
I can run my 16 in pancake-flat water; sight down the nose, and about hi-50's or so it starts oscillating..Drop it back a mite and it becomes rock-solid again.
Hi Rootsy..haven't been in touch for...
Hi Pismo.
I don't know..
They were painted in the same booth by the same company(Skater.)
Maybe the guy who painted mine was pissed at his girlfriend that particular day and blew thru the job..
Hi All..
Just got back from Portage Lake,(my old 70's haunt.)
Jason and I had our 2 16's in the water for 2 weeks..pulled them out..I have multiple blisters, Jason has virtually none.
For those...
Yeah..Neat boat...
Isn't that an old airguide speedo to port of the instrument cluster? I'll bet that was an add-on.
I will add my thumbs up to all the others.
Matty was remarking about the Dolphin/Lion stickers. Were they original or were the British/American Flag stickers replaced with them?
I and my son...
Still the One.

Doobies...Mid-70's I think...
