    NEW PROJECT!!!

    Yes, this Ski Sporter is from Long Island NY. I have not picked it up yet (planning the weekend of the 16th).It's nice because the hull has already been done. The deck has had a lot of work also but, I don't think I'm using it. Is the trailer decent on Donzi splash? I need a trailer!!! You...

    Project SEANZI

    It's actually 16' 7"... big difference, ya I know, right? It'll do okay for me to learn how to attach a wooden deck and still be a cool boat. The "sweet 16's" are very popular and a well sorted hull.

    1972 18' Greavette Sunflash IV psudo-blog

    The Greavette came out for winterizing. At this time I pulled the upper drive off and sent it back to SEI under warranty for bad powdercoating. Unfortunately it cost me the shipping (about $220) and the re&Re of the drive itseld.... but, she'll be like new again!

    Project SEANZI

    Well, I didn't get the X18 from Jersey but, I did get a classic 16 Donzi. Not married to this hull yet if anyone has a 21/22 to trade?

    New truck tires

    I'm sure it's Coopers policy not to pay for mounting, balancing and stems.... however, it IS up to the dealers discretion. With all the purchases you've made, and the issues with this set of tires; they should have come good for at least that. As bad as a worn tie rod is (or it's loose...

    Mercury Marine plans new sterndrive in 2014

    This also does not look good when Merc just announced an 18 million dollar increase in sales in just one quarter over previous year. This sales increase included a LOSS of market share in one of their divisions. When you make less it costs less. Bump the price and sell less... but make more...

    Mercury Marine plans new sterndrive in 2014

    This sounds like bad news to me. If merc develops a proprietary engine and is looking for margin; it will be overpriced as the current sterndrives and then some. Not only that ... replacement parts for discontinued drives/engines will also increase in price. Why is it that a (relatively)...

    Boat sickness

    I didn't buy this boat but, it is currently listed again. The new owner wants $3,500! Other than a clean up I can see no appreciable change. Sure it was a decent boat at a good price the first time but, how much should you make when you "flip" a boat? I find it a little disingenuineous as the...

    Wanted: Project Boat

    Okay, I found a 1969 DONZI Ski Sporter (sweet 16) for a project. This is a little smaller than I wanted but, it will work for my immediate purposes. If you have a larger boat (21' - 25') of a similar type and are looking to trade I'm not attached to this boat yet.

    special winterize

    Peels, don't be angry.... this is the time of year when you get to look for all the cool things for your boat or that will enhance you boating experience. Maybe upgrade your boat. If you already have all of those....look for spares or a project boat. Maybe you need to start a boating file of...

    NEW PROJECT!!!

    Okay, It looks like the trailer for this boat is a POS. The seller will only knock off $100 for it. I can't really get it across the boarder so, I have to borrow a trailer. Not the easiest job this time of year!

    NEW PROJECT!!!

    Just made a deal last night on a 1969 Donzi Ski Sporter (Sweet 16). No motor or drive. The hull has just been re-furbished & the deck is a mess but, I plan to install a mahogany deck! I have to pick it up on Long Island NY. This one should be cool!
