David, I live in Queensbury and keep my Donzi at the northern end of the lake in Heart Bay. I'd be glad to take you for a spin in an 18. A bit different than the Minehaha. Send me an email at kirbyvv@aol.com and lets see if we can arrange something. I'll be at site 7 on St. Sacrament Is. this week. keep your eyes out for an orange and white X-18. Kirby
