Yay! So.........................how fast is the pace boat going to be?![]()
Don't worry there will be slower boats than yours. AND maybe even a few faster than you.
Everyone runs wide open at one time or another...Ed
I know, Ed. I should be middle of the pack. I nominate Gregg for pace boat. I never wanted to be the fastest. I've nothing to prove. I just wanted to make my boat the way I like it and low 80s is fine. I'm also looking forward to getting to ride in at least one of those faster boats! I'm thinking of leaving very early Thursday morning to be there for the "show and shine". I have two goodies saved for the auction. I'm also looking forward to meeting the people whom I've not already met. Especially 'Poodle.
Poodle thanks for posting those attachments! I have been slammed at work lately and not able to get to the boards as often as I would like!
From what I have been hearing, talking, and emailing some folks it looks like its going to be another great year with quite a few new attendees as well as lots of folks that have come in the past!!! Looking forward to seeing the boats but MOST OF ALL meeting new and hanging with long time Donzi friends!!!
REMINDER that we would like to have a good head count by the beginning of May so we can keep cost of food and t shirts down!! Try to send us your registration by May 1.
Does anyone still bring props for testing? I run a 30p BBlades Bravo 1. I'd like to try a 28p Mirage + or similar 3 blade and maybe a 28p Hydromotive 4 blade. The boat handles great with the Bravo 1 but I think there is a little more speed to be found.
Reserved two rooms today in the lodge, still some available. The local street rod club will attend Thurs. 5:00-7:00 PM for the third year and DJ Ron the will join them to spin some tunes. . We plan on grilling burgers Thurs. and steaks Sat. night.
Thanks Jerry

Please bear with me as this will be my first year attending and this info may help other newbies too. My tentative plans are to leave very early Thursday morning to arrive in time to wash the rig, get checked into the lodge and be ready to participate in the Show & Shine and cookout. Put the boat in the water Friday morning. Attend all listed events and meals for Friday and Saturday. Pull boat out Saturday evening to be ready to hit the road Sunday morning. My drive will be 500 miles each way. I will get a room for Thur, Fri & Sat nights. The boat will only be in the water for one night and I will need a slip for Friday and Saturday. Sound like a good plan? Of course I will send in the paperwork and fees this month. The papers are printed and ready to send in. Got two items for the auction.
Room and slip booked for May 14,15,16.![]()
