I recently purchased, from a friend, what is believed to be a 1968 16' Donzi Ski Sporter. I looked behind the starboard side dash and can see some faint markings. However, part of the dash was cut out for instrumentation making it very difficult to see the number. It appears to be 506 but I cannot tell for sure. Does anyone know if that sounds accurate? If so, how could I identify the year with the HIN number?

I cannot see very much under the deck but I will have the deck off during the restoration and should be able to find another marking.

As for the number behind the dash, it could also be a 606. I spoke to the previous owner, who bought the boat from the original owner, and he said that he was almost certain it was either a 1968 or 1969. If the number was in fact a 606 could that make it a 1969? I have seen some other 1969 16' ski sporters in the registry with a similiar venting arrangement.

Thanks for the insight. Is there a directory of all the hull #'s for every year?
