I ended up at Intercoastal. The staff is great. Trailor is stored their also.

I saw the new addition, its a 34 Fountain with trips. Mine is the other new addition, 30 Donzi. The one without the extra fuel tank.

John - I thought it was just the sun on my ears! Now I know!*

*** Hope we can shoot out together sometime. I have to figure out how to get my electronics working and then I am off!

Wahoome - Is your the other 30' Donzi? The black one?* They told me is was getting an extra tank under the cubby. You'll have to let me know how she runs with the extra weight up front.

When I saw wahoome's boat it was outside on the cleaning rack.* So I don't know which boat was yours.* Mine is like his, a 30' Donzi. But mine is white with twin Johnson 225s and looks like this:

good looking boat. when you going to run it? what is the projected range (tank size and hp?)

Texas Trophy Hunter · 11-01-2004, 12:15 PM

Ran it around last weekend but really just to get a feel for it. I have to read up on the elctronics and get them working. Tank size is 200 gallons. I have yet to get the flow meter to work yet so I have no idea about the range. All the literature on the electronics is in my friends truck and I have not had a chance to retrieve them. I am afraid I am having troble with the gps antena because I was not able to get it to show where I was.

John I may very well do that. But first I just need to see if everything is conected. It has a Simrad radar that the previous owner said he got and never turned on. So I think it needs to be inititalized.

There is a**Sitex plotter/gps that does not seem to be receiving a signal from the GPS antenna. There is a Garmin GPS I thought it was using but when I looked up top it seems there are 3 GPS antennas. The 3rd I think is for the Lowrance 350 GPS/Fish finder.

I really just think I need to get the manuals out and see what they say. Either that or get someone out there to look at it and simplify it.

AGULHAS · 11-01-2004, 11:25 PM

does the plotter have the chip/chart for the area?

Texas Trophy Hunter · 11-02-2004, 10:26 AM

Yes, its has the chip.
