2016 Texas roundup

Possum kingdom lake

Third weekend in Sept.

[Team Jefe]

sounds fun.

[RickSE]

Wow, I just went back through my stuff and looked. Last time we were there was 2007. Fun place and we'd love to go back. Our schedule is open right now and I'll pencil this in and see as we get closer next year.

[TxTaz]

I'm in.
So can we convince some Canucks to come down for another one?
They really need to make it to Texas once a decade. LOL

[jayz]

I'm interested.

[Team Jefe]

So, Mikey...3rd weekend is a bit confusing. I think you mean 22nd thru 25th. But Sept 1st is on a Thursday, so it that is the 1st weekend, then the 3rd would be 15th thru 18th.

[Trueser]

then the 3rd would be 15th thru 18th.

Especially Mr. Mayhem!! No Worries, I am in and will have plenty of seats available for anyone who want to tag along.....especially Bikini Clad someones!!

[Glashole]

in my experience, Texas never seems to disappoint... put me on the list of attending

[TxTaz]

So who else can we get to coerce, um I mean entice into attending?

Food man food!!!! Who's bringing what?

I'm in for whatever is needed. I might just make a batch of suicide salsa. It's been a few years.

[JraySray]

Just might have to deal with a non Donzi.

:) No problems. It's all about friends and boating.

[JraySray]

Jeannette and I are in with the Sonic

[MadPoodle]

:lurk::map:

[JimG]

Janet and I are in!

[Team Jefe]

A Non-Donzi is one thing, but a Sonic?!?!? :sarcastic:

[farmer tx]

I talked to the folks at Bass Hollow last week and secured 8 motel rooms and 2 cabins for the weekend of the 16th-18th. She asked me to wait until today to post because they have been slammed, the lake is at 100%.
You can call Bass Hollow at 940 549 0104 and reserve your rooms. She also told me the entire resort was available that weekend at this time.

Thanks,

PS Any boats are welcome Nordic,Scarab, you name come on down (or up).

[JimG]

Actually... there is some Aronow provenance:


Charlie McCarthy gets Banana mold from Don

Banana begat Coyote

Coyote molds sold to Sonic in early 80's



It's sort of like the "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon", LOL!!:D

Also, were some early Sonics built directly from Donzi 24 molds? (Spitfire/Doral/Spirit I presume)

[JimG]

Maybe the Cig 24? Possible that the Sonic 26 was stretched?

[Ghost]

Maybe the Cig 24?

i don't *think* so--I think Charlie McCarthy still has the Cig hull mold at Banana. and the Cig 24 looks different--slightly less freeboard maybe and definitely a ridge in the hull side that the early Sonics lack.

The Sonic 24 looks like a Spitfire/Doral/Spirit 24 to my eye, from the rub rail down.

[Ghost]

Another Sonic 24 I think, but with less going on, so it's easier to see the hullside.

[JraySray]

It's TEXAS and I'll do whatever the hell I want to do. Maybe stick a SONICHAWK sticker on it. Now to more important things like figure out like why the hell I keep getting a port manifold overheat alarm when everythings repaced..... Hummm :confused::confused:

Might have a Cabo trip during this time anyway. Trying a work around at the moment.

[MadPoodle]

Sonic built the El Pescador and the Spit (slightly modified) in limited quantities...

[Trueser]

Just wanted to let people know the Texas Roundup is on for this year. Possum Kingdom is at 100% and we have the rooms at Bass Hollow, phone number is 940-549-0104. The dates are September 16-18th. Come on Y'all!!

[JimG]

For anyone looking to "RV" it, there are tons of spots available at PK state park. We will be over there...

[gcarter]

This sounds like fun, but we're off to Lake George in 1-1/2 weeks, and we're coming to the Hill Country
in October.
I still have a business to run too.

Have fun!

[Trueser]

bump bump

who's going ?

[JimG]

Janet and I will be there! Bought a new trailer, now the Donzi is road trip worthy!

[farmer tx]

PJ and I will be there. Bass Hollow also has RV hookups.

See ya there,
Mark

[Inferno]

I'm planning on bringing the " Homer Special " if we can get it correctly tuned and prop tested .. Hope the cops aren't *****s, as she is a tad bit loud .

[JimG]

We switched to Bass Hollow.

[farmer tx]

Great choice Jim,it's a long way to state park by car. Just takes a few minutes by boat, but I hate that after dark.

Three weeks and counting.
Mark

[JimG]

Thanks Mark! I think so too! Looking forward to meeting y'all!

[Trueser]

Anyone other Texas Donzi's ?

[TxTaz]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to make it this year.
I hope everyone has a great time.

Taz

[Team Jefe]

I'll be there with my sweet baby girl!

[Team Jefe]

Folks - The Normal SH!T SHOW for me, so Friday JimG and I are planning a fish fry for everyone. I may even get the gumption to do Fish Tacos?!?!?. We're bringing the fish and a few other fry-able items. If y'all want to kick in on some more side, feel free http://www.donzi.net/forums/images/smilies/lookaroundb.gif

Also, I'm going to cook breakfast tacos one morning, so if you're bringing some breakfast items, we can pool them up and feast like kings

The plan is to be in the water by Thursday afternoon.

[farmer tx]

I have your sides covered. Potatoe salad,coleslaw and pea salad. We won't run short of eats.
We are trying to get away about lunch Wed.

See you there,
Mark & PJ
