Is that a Spitfire on the boat trader site? It's listed as a '76 25 Donzi. It sure looks like one. Forrest I think you need one of those...don't you?

Hey guys...me again. There's another Donzi on the boat trader site listed as '76 24 footer. No picture on this one though. This can't be another spitfire?...can it? If these aren't spitfires, what are they?

I don't mean to sound obsessed, I just thought they were rare.

The picture is so lousey, I can't tell what it is. The only thi tha I can tell for sure is that it has a painted black Volvo drive.

Hay, check out the 24 Donzi for sale over there at TraderOnline from Yorktown, VA . . . That one is rare. Can anyone tell me what model Donzi it is? (Hint: You will probably need to consult a Donzi brochure out of the 70's. It's in there.)

Close Kenn, but no Doral. Check out that windshield and the original high back seats. That's a hard to find Donzi 24 Spirit (http://www.boattraderonline.com/cgi-bin/boat/apps/search/photdisp.html?photo=00000644712&phoneId=7578731333&ad=365-28301-8&status=no&imgsite=&page=search&pstat=P).

Now that you refer to the windshield, it's a Spirit.

The Doral and the Spirit look so similar almost as if from the same mold but the Spirit has that longer deck and that windshield and the high back seats.

Of course it helps to have the pictures to look at when identifying the boat.

Sorry Bertram Boy...I'm not that advanced yet....low I.Q. ya know? I'll figure it out soon.

As far as the Spitfires in question. The picture of the red boat shows it's not a Spitfire but I still think the white one is.

Somebody with some money should call this guy.

The boat does indeed look to be a Spirit. The tall windscreen is the tip off. Our Spitfire windscreen looks alot like a 22' 2+3, only without the stainless frame. The deck is different also. The Spitfire deck is flatter. The hull I am sure is the same as the Spitfire, which is the same as the Doral, ElPescador.
I will be meeting my partner on Spitfire project tomorrow to get a game plan togather for finishing off the Spitfire. I am picking up the 502 bb crate motor next weekend. The interior is done. The hull is painted, but we are in the middle of repairing some bad balsa core in the deck(nasty job). After the deck is done, its off to the paint shop to get the deck painted. Then it's a matter of final assembly. The Spitfire will see the water this summer(not just rain drops either).
I will see if I can get some one scan the pictures of the Spitfire project. I told the story of how I aquired the the boat just prior to the site change. And it is quite a story indeed.

Hey spitfire dave...maybe you missunderstood..After seeing the picture of the spirit I realized it wasn't a spitfire. But the boat first in question was the white one listed as a '76 25 footer. Check that picture out...I don't think it could be anything but a spitfire.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your spitfire not to mention your 18 2+3.

I think that 1976 25'at traderonline just might be a Spitfire, but the picture leaves much to be desired. The telltale windscreen is hardly noticable. The rear rail is just like ours and that red Spirit. The high back seats are a mistery and there seems to be something on top of the dash. Looks like a decent boat from the picture. I did'nt see this boat on the first go around, somebody had a link to the Spirit and I thought that was the boat in question.

Yeah the high back seats threw me at first too but they look like they may be the same as the ones in the boat with brown interior that is posted in the GALLERY section of the registry. The one with light blue interior has the standard buckets.

check it out.

That 24' is listed as having twin 350HP Mercs w/ TRS drives???

You think it's some kind of Big Block Boat? Or are does it have twin 350 Mouse Motors?

Don't know about a Monza either, but that looks like our old friend the 21GT to me.
