Here are some pictures I took this weekend at Tavares. The last group is Boats for Sale in case you are trying to get an idea of what these boats sell for.

The best part about a manual screwdriver is not needing to remember if you left it in reverse.

Completion is but one step in the process and not one bit more important than the others.

One of my favorite boats,I told my ex-wife if I ever found one for sale,it would be sitting in our driveway....no ifs ands or butts!!!

They are very rare and I've had Donzi dealers say they never made this model

The Glastron 160GT will be my next boat or on the opposite spectrum another pontoon boat with at least a 150HP engine and three logs with lifting strakes.

My old college buddy bought one of the classic Glastron Carlson James Bond boats after we graduated back in 1983 and I have loved those boats ever since. My brother had a Donzi about 10yrs ago and I seem to recall those old sport Donzi Classics could be bought as a shell. I think maybe the 14 was one of those.

This is the new 2012 model:
