We dropped the boat in the water Friday to attend our first ever Poker Run. This was with the ACBS Toronto and 11 boats (of 16 entered) showed up for the 10AM start. I had never done one of these before so, I hung back at the start.... but, I didn't like bouncing through the wakes of all...

Which do you think is better... and why? I'm starting from scratch on the new project and have chosen an Alpha. Bravo is considerably heavier and a Bravo 3 heavier again. The Volvos are just too pricey for me to get the new stuff (with the common transom cut out. So, pros vs. cons please.

Wanted: Donor boat with 4.3l v6 and alpha drive. Does not have to run but, a good engine block manditory. looking around $1,500 mark.... and not too far from Toronto.

Way back in 1965 Shepherd boats of Niagara-on-the-lake, Ontario started to build 16' Donzi Ski Sporter boats under license from a fledgeling company called Donzi Marine of Miami , Florida. I'm looking for any information (or clues that might lead to information) on any of this operation...
