For sure!
Where’s that one live on Tahoe?
Struggling with inspection cost for 1 day. Tahoe may wait til next season. Plus, the bilge is embarrassing. Needs some love before an inspection.

And for those on tahoe, what are you running for props? I’ve got a 21 on there currently, and Ran about 4500 rpms wot at 5000’. Think I need to drop a size or 2
We have 3 moorings just outside of Garwoods restaurant and it usually stays there, but since weather was crappy last week, I moved it to a slip at Star Harbor right next to the boat ramp.
When I pull the boat, I will let you know what the prop is. I have a TRS drive, but I am not sure if that makes any difference. All Merc should be the same (I am assuming)
This boat has always been a Tahoe boat.
Inspection for 1 day seems dumb this late in the season. You could always go to Stampede or Boca just to run her
Yep. Stampede is the plan. That blue and gold one is older, correct?
I commented on it and asked what year it was this summer, while shuttling Into garwoods from our Malibu. Small world!
Yes it is.
Its a 1982
Quite a lot of fun.
Really bummed that I just had to pull her out for the winter. Time to winterize and get ready for storage.
Now you have had it for a few months..How is it going?

It’s good. Finally got it, had it in the water twice. Got what I expected. Needs some love here and there, but I’m happy with it overall.
Put it away for the winter, and gathering parts to get it up to my standards in the spring!
Boat is alive, big stereo install complete, and been out on tahoe a few time!
Who’s in a similar boat? What prop are you running?
What did I hear about a tahoe classics group?
Happy boating!

We also run a Mirage + 25P (lab finished) prop. We have a fairly heavy 22C with a 500EFI and primarily boat on Powell at 3600'-3700' elevation. We bump 75-MPH at around 5000 RPM I believe. I like the Mirage and the way it carries the bow through rough water. You're quite a bit higher at Tahoe aren't you? Depending on you power I'd probably start at a 23P.

Tahoe is 6200'.
Stock MPFI 454.
Currently running hte quicksilver 23P
Our 22 will be going in soon.
Just doing some pre summer maintenance.
I have a 454 with TRS drive, so my propping might be different. Maybe not
I will have to get you a Lake Tahoe Donzi Club shirt.
Its just the beginning of a club that is. We do have quite a few Donzi's on this lake. Not enough in my opinion. Too many Cobalts
Sounds like a plan. Let me know when you get thr Boat in!
Would like to meet up with you guys sometime. I live in Grass Valley and trailer my 22 up to Tahoe a couple times every summer. Usually launch at the Coast Guard station. Let's do it!
Scott
Sounds good! I live in truckee so I Trailer too, so either launch at coast guard or spend weekends in south Lake.
Headed out tonight for father’s day weekend. First one to garwoods wins.
