1971 Donzi 2+3 all 100% original

[Scott Pearson]

1971 Donzi 2+3. Hull # C18-386. Boat has been on Greenwood Lake its whole life. Has been kept in dry storage at Willow Point Marina since brand new. The Marina would bring the boat out of dry storage for the original owner only on Memorial Day weekend. Once the weekend was over it would go back into dry storage. For the past 6 years it has been in dry storage and not used at all.

This boat was build by Donzi for Fred Merkle Jr. who was one of the biggest Pontiac Dealers in NY. It has all the colors of the early Pontiac Trans Am. I have all the original paper work and service records.

Boat has a 302 Holman Moody Ford with a 250 Volvo drive. Black hull sides, White hull bottom and deck. Brown boot stripe and deck stripe. Inca Gold interior. Boat is 100% original with maybe 20-30 original hours You will not find a nicer 71 Donzi that's all original and unrestored.

Please, serious inquires only. No Trailer.

$12,500 Firm

Kind of like the origin of the "Black Hawk" started with this?

The Gel coat still has a beautiful glow to it. Nice!!

$12,500 seems very reasonable...who's gonna snap this puppy up?

[Dredgeking]

this sounds like a very cool boat. i'd love to see more pics of it.

[goatee]

yeah scott,,, i dont know the whole story,,. well in fact , i dont know ANY of the story. but it seems you disappeared before i got a chance to get to know you.
do you own this boat now? can we see more of it? sure sounds sweet!

[Scott Pearson]

Here are a few more pictures. This is the day we bought the boat. So dont expect to much. It was raining and cold. The day before this it was in dry storage with an inch of dust on it. This is just hosed off.

Scott,

-----This boat is indeed a treasure.Condition appears fantastic!How is the screaming Chicken done?Is it paint or vinyl?Hoping it isnt gel-coat,but if it is it would be a real one-of.Cant see from the pics.Id love to see this boat with the chicken gone and a Taylor-Made windshield installed,but thats just old fashioned me!Would love to see an engine shot as well as a good dash pic.Also cant tell from the pics if the exaust is thru-hull.
-----It just struck me that this is the exact same color combo as my first Corsican.No wonder I like it!......Bill S

[Scott Pearson]

Bill,
The Bird is a decal. Being the history behind this boat it would be a shame to change anything I think. The colors and bird grow on you. I will take some more pictures when I have a chance. It does have through Hulls and they sound great! The motor runs soooo smooth its incredible!

That side pic of it on the lift is too cool,
really shows off the lines of the 18!!!!
I'll see if i can find the pic of it sitting above Kenny's 20 cig in the corner, that wa spretty cool pic too!!!

Matty
I really like the case of bud by the lift, this bud's for you!!!!

[Dredgeking]

a classic v hull with black sides is just killer. this boat is great. if my daughter wasn't born 2 days ago, i'd probably want this real bad. i'm not into trans ams, but this is out right funky cool.

[Dredgeking]

i just thought about the irony of the ford engine and the fire chicken on the deck. :D

[Walt. H.]

So you guy's really do trust those lifting rings. eek!

Walt.

[mattyboy]

Great looking boat, what a classic! Why did Donzi not buy the boat as a museum piece and why are you sellling such a great boat? I wish I were in the market for it.

[markdonzi]

I am interested in purchasing this boat. Is it still available. Mark Prendeville Let me know.

[Scott Pearson]

My Toy,

Donzi isnt in the business of buying older boats. Guess they just arnt that type of company. Im selling because I all ready have an 18 and really would like a GT or Hornet.

Mark,

Great talking with you. See you this weekend!

(NJ)Scott

[Dredgeking]

i'm not a big trans am fan, but i dig the hell out of this paint job. must be the black sides.

[Scott Pearson]

Sorry everyone....I'm taking the boat off the market. After useing it at Lake Gorge for a few days I just cant get rid of it. The boat runs as good as it looks! Its just to nice of a boat to let go....plus Matty will kill me if I do sell it....along with Cliff and Chris.


Thanks again for everyones interest.

[Rootsy]

That is one beautiful one of a kind 18 pearson... she is lucky to have found such a good home!

[markdonzi]

I test drove this boat on Lake George last weekend. It is in amazing mint condition and runs strong. I ended up not being able to purchase for another reason but will attest to the boat in terms of how it runs. Started easily and sat there idling for 10 minutes before we headed out. The colors are nice the gold and black are sharp.
