Small donzi with open bow(like F14)

[LeeH]

Looking for a Donzi from 14 to 18 feet, but with open bow area.
Need a smaller boat for inland lakes and rivers.
Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.

there is a small boat down here in Melbourne Florida that says Donzi on the side.
It looks like a cross between a mini bowrider and a jetski boat.

Its a little worn.
Let me know if this is what you mean,
and I'll get contact info and pictures for ya

Dunno where to find one but this is an example of what it would be like.
Early 90's Donzi. Model is an 18 foot GT series.

The LXR series had the open bow (at times) and a stepped hull. I don't know much about 'em but here you go anyway.

This 88 version is what was desciribed above. $5K, cheap http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/1/1/80969411.htm

Finding an F-14 etc will be like finding a needle in a haystack and then you have to win the bid war.

I will check out the boats above, but would still like to hold out for an F14

Lee- As I recall, they only made 10 F14 boats. Gonna be a long wait mebbe.
Sort of the rarest of the rare.:frown:

here are the pictures of that small Donzi up the road from my house.
Its a tiny little jet boat.

I was nearly accausted when I asked about it. Apperently, the owner abaondonned it at the marina three years ago. The marina manager
said the owner promised to sign the title over to him a week ago
so he can go ahead and ditch it. Since then he said there has been three guys comming buy and asking about it trying to sell it out from under him or some nonsense.

Anyway, the boat is beat. If sombody really wanted to add this to there collection it is a total rebuild from the ground up.
you could probably even get it for free if your willing.

that guy still thinks the owner sent me over there to get the pictures
