I have a 17ft Donzi? The # on the side is 17K1953 it is a small block chevy, v-drive. Does anyone have any idea what year the boat is or how I could find out. Thanks, Dean

Deano, I am about 30 miles away in Victoria. Welcome aboard!!!

The "number" on the side you are refering to is the Vessel Registration number for the boat is it not? In Victoria, we are 14K.... You want the HIN, (hull identification number), not the decal on the side of the boat, most probably off the upper right hand transom area. Look for it and then post the numbers.

Does it look like this?...this is a 17' Donzi.

Mattyboy - My 18 has the U-shaped grab rail around the front - then again maybe it is just a 16 on steroids :D

Hey Harbormaster - I really like the new "preview post" button. It is nice to see the post before actually posting!
