This past weekend(Aug 19) I attended a classic boat show in Baysville Ontario. This in-water show consisted of 20+ wooden boats -Garwoods, Shepperds, Chris Crafts and Minett-Shields that are located on Lake of Bays, Muskoka(about 2 hrs. due north of Toronto).One non-wooden boat was also on display. According to the information provided the boat was a 1962 16 classic Donzi "Miami" with a 165 hp V-8 and an OMC out drive. Yellow with yellow interior, wrap around seating and driver on the left. The owner's name was not shown for some reason.

As the owner of a 1972 16 Donzi Outboard (Hull # B-7)also located on Lake of Bays and a regular reader of these posts, I do not recall ever seeing a reference to a 1962 boat. I have called the show organizers to get the name of the owner-however I have not heard back.

Any ideas, thoughts etc.. :cool: :confused:

We displayed the first Donzi, a 16', at the Jacksonville Boat show in November 1964.
