trying to track down our families 76 18ft donzi 2+3

[ratman]

my dad was the original owner of a baby blue over white 76 18ft donzi 2+3. it will be easy to spot if you have it or saw it as it had a teak sole/floor that my dad installed he used appx 2" teak strips running front to rear with a thin appr 1/4 inch bead of rubber between the teak strips, it had baby blue int with 2 buckets and a bench in the rear, had a bronze nibral prop on a volvo 270 outdrive, we got it new in 76 it was purchased in annapolis md and sold there in the early/mid 80's i was living in ca and didn't know he was gonna sell it and was crushed when i found out i was 15 when he got it and i fell in love with that boat and now am searching for a 18 so why not try to locate our families 18. pls let me know if you have ever seen or know where or own this one it, will be easy tell if its the one cuz of that teak floor, thx in advance ratman. let see the power of the donzi registry at work

no clue what the hull # was, is was 15 when it was purchased, the teak floor is what made it unique. i love that color scheme and will duplicate it in gelcoat on what ever i do buy. would love to track this one down but the odds may be against it. keep your eyes peeled, thx. ratman

[ratman]

poodle do you have one that color? cuz i'll kick yer azz if you dont sell it to me lol:beer:

[Lenny]

Rat, Poodle sold that one of that colour. Then he got another one (X-18) again of that colour. I have one of that colour.
Lots of people have'm that colour.
Maybe try to buy that Hurricane boat? Most probably a Wilma left over.

I would go to the Maryland Dept of Natural Resources (DNR, they have a website) and see if they can do a search. I have also seen a baby blue Donzi around before. I hate to say it but with what you have given us so far is like looking for a red Dodge Ram. I think you may find more then you are looking for.

if you ever did see this 18 you would remeber the teak floor it was stunning. anyone have a baby blue on white 18 they are willing to part with? let me know ratman

I saw one burn to the waterline about 20 years ago.......:(

BTW: Similar story......my dad sold our 1967 16 Ski Sporter when I was stationed in California.......without telling me.

Now I have a Magnum and I don't care.....:)
