I saw a boat this past weekend that I thought at first was either a Donzi or Formula Jr. racing hybrid. The hull looked like a 16' classic, but the backend looked like a Formula Jr. The deck was flatter than a Donzi, with a two seat cockpit and integrated headrests toward the stern. There was also a seating hatch in front of the cockpit. The boat had a Berkley jet drive powered by Ford 460 with thru hull. The owner said it was a 1975 North American Lightning. Has anyone ever heard of this type of boat? Apparently the guy "stole" it locally for $CDN4000.
