I came across this today on the way to a meeting and happened to have my camera. It says Donzi on it but I have not seen one like this. It is possible that it used to have an IO in it, had the transome reglassed and converted.

Talked to the guy who owns it and he says it is a 1971. No hull ID # on transom. Says it is titled as a donzi- I did not see the title. Can anyone tell me if this is a DOnzi?

On a related note: if anyone is interested in the boat, the owner also told me the following:

2x 200 hp mercs both with fresh rebuilds (1 with 1 hr and the other with 15 hrs). Motors are 87 or 88'. Tandem axle trailer that looks to be in really good shape (definitely not original). Has GPS as well as assorted other electronics. Asking 10k, but said he wants to move it and bottom line is 8k- just wants to get his money back out of it( took it as payment for a concrete job). Says it does 60mph.

So waht do you think? Is it a donzi?

Is a Donzi 7 meter..Helm has been hacked and replaced. Bow has been modified and probably did have I/O's.
Here's the transom of another..

Not to be insulting, but that green hull looks similar to the Wellcraft "Skipjack"..
