Zayonce, nice boat and I like the idea of a V-drive. One question I have is that there appears to be a skeg of some sort. Is this original? Also, other than the guages and interior, how original is the boat? Thanks, Bob

The skeg was on the boat when I bought it . I don't know if it's original. But I do know that the boat would be uncontrollable without it. As far as the originality of the rest of the boat, I replaced a few things to keep it in good shape. Some of the things that I have done to the boat are replaced the 1/2" floor with 5/8" and glassed both sides of it. The trans is a crash box and it has been rebuilt, the prop shaft is about 3-4 years old, the steering ram and cable are new. The engine was a complete rebuild 4-5 years ago. It's rated about 360 H.P. I lost the original hood cover and had another one made. I added a scoop to the hood to help cool the engine. I replaced the blower etc.

I have had the boat for 16 years and have either replace everything or had it rebuilt. The only thing that comes to mind that I haven't done is paint the boat and that is about the only thing left to be done to it.

Let me know if there is any specifics you need to know about the boat and I will get back to you.

tks Rick

Zayonce, What lake is that on your avitar? Kal or Okanagan? You must have the only Donzi in the interior. I moved from Vernon in 78 and I had the only Donzi there back then....Ed

It is Okanagan Lk.
AS far as i know it is the only Donzi in the interior. The only other ones that i have seen are a couple from the coast that have come up for a weekend.
