AOTH XIV- May 15-17- Lake Cumberland-Jamestown, KY

Awakening Of The Horses 2014---

We are excited to announce we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Donzi Marine for 2014!!!

We are also extremly excited about our revised Friday agenda. We will be leaving Jamestown and running to 76 Falls. After 76 Falls we will be running to Fishtales at Wolf Creek Marina for lunch. Fishtales has indoor and outdoor Tiki Hut seating with the docks surrounding for easy viewing of the classics while we dine! Here is a YouTube clip on the Marina.

The website (mwdonziclub.com) will be updated in the first week of February. We will also attach the agenda and registration documents here when we get them finalized.

We look forward to seeing everybody again and hopefully adding some new faces!!!

Byron
MidWest Donzi Club

Can't wait and will be bringing some new folks with me...Ed

Sounds good Ed!!

Attached are the Agenda and Pre-Registration.

The cut off for Pre-registration is May 1. This allows us to accurately order t-shirts and food to keep the cost down(same as last year)!

Byron,

Looks like a great schedule full of activities on the boats. I'm hoping I can come down again this year and I'd like to bring my daughter with me. We'll see. No Donzi in the garage yet, but the dream lives strongly in a past owner. If there is any way I can help the club please let me know even if it's just making phone calls for ya.

I was down at Jamestown today checking on my cruiser.

Ran into a guy that works at the dam. He mentioned that the Corp is only going to take the pool to 705 feet for this year.
For those of you who don't know, full pool is 723. Something about an endangered fish darter that has moved into the headwaters
of the lake with the dam construction that just finished up. Ya can't make this stuff up. Good news, as this means better chances for
cleaner water for AOTH this year.

Byron, FYI. It looks like your T's & C's release doc is out of date as it is still referencing AOTH XIII (Thirteen)...

Thanks Randy! We will make sure that is corrected!

We are close to having the t shirt design ready to release! The new restaurant is very excited about us coming this year!!! They have even offered to shuttle us to their dock(via houseboat) should we experience bad weather!!

So who is doing what to their boats? Is the flowerpot joining us this year? Seems pretty quiet around here! Must be some skunkworks in play!! ;)

Mine is coming along and should have the 289 ci /375 hp in it for the Awakening ......... Are the Cig boys coming ???

Stan, I am not really comfortable with an untested "homebuilt" boat with almost 400hp....... I have no problem letting you test with my 19 pitch prop, it is aluminium though, but if you want a "test pilot" I suggest Lenny.........:boating:

Probable...

Byron, great job on the new lunch set up!!! We're kicking up Dinner on Sat. night as well, "trying Steak and chicken on the grill".
Can't wait, seen enough SNOW.

Ranman, Great to see you still have the 18! It would be super to see you and Jen.

Remind Deneen to pay Lenny's life insurance policy up. 400 HP beind an Alpha is not exactly what I want to be around...

Are fish boats allowed?

Precision propellers (Turbo) has been a since year 1 attendee at AOTH. Not sure who is their contact since we lost Randy (Big Grizzly), but if you've got a prop you would like to test at AOTH, someone can usually contact them and ask for a size/type of prop to be brought to the gathering for you to try. They may also have a couple suggestions since they’ve worked with many Donzi owners over the years.

Reddog, Hope you can come, we've missed you the last couple years, it's great seeing you and your bride!!

Randy, it would be super to see you and Jen, we're going on 15 years and it's always nice seeing some of the original Classic owners at the AOTH.

Thanks Jerry

Chris Boe from Turbo has been and will be at AOTH again this year. If you are interested in testing a particular prop note it in this thread and we will make sure he sees it.

Poodle- as always any boat is welcome even though the theme of AOTH is to celebrate any Don designed/built/or lineage types.

Main goal is to have a good time. We have been successful the last 13 years....lets do it again for year 14!!!

The flowerpot is already there waiting on the rest of you guys to show up....

Pretty sure I'll make it, Lisa probably won't (she's trying for Chatt instead this year). Might be able to bring the Cig, might be sticking my thumb out, not sure yet. REALLY psyched to see everyone, and see some cool boats that have been in the works for awhile.

Talked to the car club over the weekend and the group is pumped for the Thursday evening Show and Shine. Bill said we should have some really nice cars attending. Also the DJ is onboard for some great toons. I'll post some pics of some of the cars attending. The cookout is going to be in the parking lot if the weather will allow.

Jerry

Can't wait to see everyone this year. As usual I'm sure we'll all have a great time.

Booked a room...looking forward to it.

Looks like another good turnout this year!!

Attached is peek at the T-shirt design!!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/03/2ybajasu.jpg

Sharp!

Team Hedgehog will be there. I will bring two turntables and a microphone!:rock2::rock2:
My nephew Easton is going to be compiling a video. He did a great job at The Gorge!

They decided that the endangered snail darter could swim and things are now going to summer pool. Up about six feet in the past week to 711. Be here before you know it...

Shows the entire dock and refreshes automatically. The lake is shaping up nicely this year. 716' and rising...

Turbo Propellers has donated a couple certificates for props again this year. Chris Booe will be there to offer any assistance as well!!

Registrations have been rolling in this week! Remember to get your in by May 1. It helps us with tshirt and food count!!

Thanks,

Byron

I know a few of the Cincinnati crew have been pulling maintenance to get ready now that the polar vortex has left.

Anyone else?

Nothing to see on the ramp, Len. With the lake filling up, even Tuxedo PK would have a fighting chance of getting his boat launched this year...

Team Hedghog is increasing in force!!!

just got another victim!
