Regarding the Chronology:
Just to get a basic feel for the life of the Donzi Company so far; the company has gone thru two distinct stages of growth and one transitional phase across six owners.
The first stage of Donzi are the years 1964 to 1985. During this time Donzi was a very limited production company and never put out more than 50 boats a year. This would suggest that there are fewer than 1100 Pre-85 Donzis total. Also, in 1967, Aronow raced a few specialized boats that were labled both Donzi and Magnum. These are Magnum race boats.
Donzi then went thru a transitional expansion when it was bought by Dick Genth and Gordon Houser - both ex-Chris Craft executives. During these years, 1985 to 1988, Donzi production doubled with new facilities in Sarasota FL. and the introduction of the Z-boats, the Regazza 25 and 6 of the 65' Sportfishermen were made before the large boat line was sold to the italian firm of Roscioli. In 1988, Donzi was essentially forced into a partnership with OMC due to the way the large power plant manufacturers were limiting engine and drive packages to the smaller builders. This was the beginning of the great mergers that sucked up almost all of the smaller builders into the three big umbrella Corporations of Brunswick, Genmar and OMC. OMC, being a bottom line Corp, then also expanded the Donzi line to include more conventional family boats. This trend was continued when Donzi was then sold to American Holdings in 1995, though there was and is a new effort to strengthen the performance roots of the company.

Regarding the Chronology:
Just to get a basic feel for the life of the Donzi Company so far; the company has gone thru two distinct stages of growth and one transitional phase across six owners.
The first stage of Donzi are the years 1964 to 1985. During this time Donzi was a very limited production company and never put out more than 50 boats a year. This would suggest that there are fewer than 1100 Pre-85 Donzis total. Also, in 1967, Aronow raced a few specialized boats that were labled both Donzi and Magnum. These are Magnum race boats.
Donzi then went thru a transitional expansion when it was bought by Dick Genth and Gordon Houser - both ex-Chris Craft executives. During these years, 1985 to 1988, Donzi production doubled with new facilities in Sarasota FL. and the introduction of the Z-boats, the Regazza 25 and 6 of the 65' Sportfishermen were made before the large boat line was sold to the italian firm of Roscioli. In 1988, Donzi was essentially forced into a partnership with OMC due to the way the large power plant manufacturers were limiting engine and drive packages to the smaller builders. This was the beginning of the great mergers that sucked up almost all of the smaller builders into the three big umbrella Corporations of Brunswick, Genmar and OMC. OMC, being a bottom line Corp, then also expanded the Donzi line to include more conventional family boats. This trend was continued when Donzi was then sold to American Holdings in 1995, though there was and is a new effort to strengthen the performance roots of the company.
