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

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.

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!!

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.

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

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...

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!
