I have "crawled" all over these boats. They were built in Richmond when I was living in Vancouver as Kavalk, (now Kazulin). I have been aboard your model a few times. They are definately a piece of work. We have a few running around here. Nice boats, too rich for me tho. Best of luck.

Hi Lenny! Thanks for the compliments! I have been to B.C. too, and visited with Tony Kazulin. He is a great guy, and he really appreceates great boats, like classic Donzi's! Wow! I have over 5,000 hits on my eBay ad so far! I have some interest in the boat, but no bids yet. eBay is a tough place to sell a high end boat like this, but it's fun to talk to all these people about the boat.

Is this boat in Lindenhurst in the same canal as the Anchorage?

Hi! Yes, I have friends on that canal so I have a few slips I can use. My dad also owns a slip in the Anchorage, which he rents. Did you ever see my boat buzzing around the bay? I usually hang out at Hemlock Cove or in the bay anchored at the island west of the Lindenhurst cut. If you see me, stop by and say "Hello!"

I saw the boat the other night in a slip on that canal. I was going by with the cruiser full of people so I couldn't stop. Cool looking boat. What kind of performance are you getting out of that and how is it against the big cruiser wakes in the bay?

Well, if you see me on it, say "Hello!". It has twin Merc 454 330's with freshwater cooling, and it tops out a little over 60 mph. I cruise at about 43 mph at 3,400 rpm. I am turning Mirage 23" props now, but I'd like to try a set of Bravo 1 24" props. It's got a 22 degree bottom, so it handles the bay really nice. The hull is a lot like a Z33 Donzi.
