I forget, what year is yours? I think it needs to be 25 yo to display..

Ok. Mine is a 2001. I will be a spectator ! I did manage to get a room at the lakeside inn and they have dock space available.

Seriously having the same thought. The 233 Cigarette, and a Fino, plus all the rest? What a lineup!

Friday was a nice day, Saturday started to rain around 11:00.

I sure can't speak for anyone else, but I have always liked the Gulf blue and orange colors.

On behalf of DMRS, we want to thank Bert Harris for the extraordinary efforts to pursue and organize the DONZI contingent at this event for the last few years. It took some wrangling over the years, but this year we were given an entire pier, and additional static show spaces to show off our boats. In addition to adding the classical glass boats of other brands, most of the woodie's are breathtaking restorations. One spectacular woodie had a V10 Ilmor conversion. Another had a Hilborn fuel injected Buick. There were 11 Donzi's, 1 Fino, 2 Bertram's, 1 Cigarette, half dozen Glasspar's, several Glastron's , twin i/o Carlson, and on, and on, and on... Had the weather cooperated more on Saturday, I think the attendance could have been record breaking.

Next year, don't miss it !!

----Agree wholeheartedly with every word, Jim. Bert has been tireless in getting our boats recognised and accepted at this show and it hasnt been easy at times. Thankfully, the main person that heads up the entire show is a great guy and really seems to be onboard the fiberglass express. This cant help but benefit all of us in many ways, not the least being value perceived in the boats we all love!!!.....Bill S

Glass is the future of the ACBS. Only so many wood boats left and its a bit hard to drop 50+ grand on a starter boat.
