u163665-

tx. I spoke with them earlier today, very nice people, but they were out of stock.

I'd sell you mine(built)...but I just don't know if I could put a price tag on it ???

C'mon Bvanter! You couldn't sell your Donzi - - you love it too much (as evidenced by your detailed building). Heck, I couldn't sell my Donzi - and I didn't even build it (except for the running system).

I'll trade you my TV, xbox, and stereo, my girlfriend wont even notice the change. At least for a few days. Actaully my cat might be easier to ship to you, shes a good retriever! Low maintance and realistic sound effects. Or then there's my girlfriend, fun but lots of maintenance. Well worth the Donzi

Went to my local hobby store this afternoon and they found one after many phone calls, should of thought of that first..whoops. Placed the order and should have it by Friday or next Monday. I can not wait. Thanks for posting all of the pictures/videos it really inspired me to get back into building.

thanks

hey everyone i was looking for a sub to do a scienct experement with please contact me to sell me a sub

Saleens7, I found a dinghy that will work for the front of the boat. It needs to be painted white and given a little TLC, but the scale looks right on the boat.

Here is the link to the website on the box...I actually purchased it from Walmart for $4.95. The figure in the box also sits well in my custom made fishing chair. I will post pics as I paint and set it up.

U163665, You're right...how could I!!...momentary lapse. In my defense, I did have a few cold ones!!

I picked it up yestersday and am very exited I need to prepare my building station and will post pictures of the build.

Bvanter5- I visit Middletown CT weelky for work, where do you use your Donzi?

Just added stained glass to the Donzi. I think it really adds a nice touch to the boat. What do you think?

The artist who made the glass for me also is assembling a Dumas Donzi. I have asked him to post pictures of his build on this thread - as he is building a spectacular boat - - including bedrooms and bathrooms (complete with shower stalls and heads). Jean Pierre - - if you are reading this - - please post some pictures!

FYI - - if anybody is interested in his artwork - - I will give you his contact info.

-Matt

I like it.

A couple recent pics of Matt's Donzi:

Anybody have a dumas part # listing for the Donzi hardware?

I think the rudder is #3518, what is the # for the strut?

I believe the running hardware for the Dauntless is the same as the Donzi...However I would verify with Dumas.

This is the running hardware kit for the Dumas Dauntless 49.5" and the
American Enterprise 52". This is a twin rudder, twin solid shaft drive for two
6 volt motors. Includes:
2 #2702 Drive shaft (stainless steel, 3/16"x16", threaded 10-32 at one end)
2 #2803 Stuffing box (brass, with oilite bearings, 7.25" long for 3/16" shaft)
2 #3518 Rudder assembly (stainless steel, rudder is 3" long, 5.25" total)
1 #3504 Rudder arm (metal, for 1/8" shaft)
1 #3515 Double rudder arm (metal, bellcrank style, for 1/8" shaft)
2 #3317 Strut assembly (cast aluminum, for 3/16" shafts)
2 #7013 Drive dogs (brass, threaded 10-32)
2 #7017 Locking prop nut (threaded 10-32)
2 #7016 Thrust washer (nylon, for 3/16" shaft)
Screws, nuts, bolts and washers for assembly
Instructions for assembly.

Requires 2 motors (or two 3.5cc inboard engines), motor (engine) couplings
and left and right props.

Thanks for the help, and all that typing! They got back after the holidays and sent an e-mail, the kit #2332 is for the dauntless and they said the shafts are too short. Happy '07 everyone!

No worries about the typing...I copied and pasted from Tower Hobbies. Any luck on locating that part #. I couldn't find it in my stuff, and had trouble finding it online?

More HP.....I found another site for the parts...however they are in Canada. The part # for the Strut is 3319. You can look it up on the site below...let me know how you make out.

http://udisco.com/hobbies/index.htm

apparently...the link only takes you the the main site, but you can do a search for 3319

I just ended up ordering the full hardware kit #2353, didn't want to because I think it's overpriced... but if Dumas is going to keep discontinuing things it'll save me searching piece by piece later on. Really appreciate the help, can't wait to start the build!

Happy that it worked out!...take lots of pics of the build, and post them. It would be great to have a new build thread on the Donzi construction.

I always wished I had done that.

thx

Ok guys. I know this thread is old, but i dont care. lol. Im looking fo rthis kit, built or unbuilt... Has anyone tried doing this kit with gas/nitro. instead on electric??? Im looking to try 2 diesels.. with working out riggers, controlled by remote. and some other added things. So again if anyone has one, please let me know. Im looking for the glass one.

Whaddaya mean working outriggers? That they fold up, or you want to run line out there to catch bass?

Diesels... can you water cool them?
