This 1990/2006 Donzi F-18 is in excellent condition for it's age and has been re-powered with the latest engine technology, the world renowned Evinrude E-Tec http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/E-Tec/E-TEC.Advantage/ complete with 3 year warranty. I have invested over 13K this summer re-powering and refitting this boat and it is turnkey. With the E-Tec hanging on the transom, this boat always turns heads. The color combination of the boat and motor is especially pleasing to the eye, as the striping on the hull matches the striping on the motor.
This is a big heavy 18ft hull (2000lb hull only) with plenty of freeboard, capable of off-shore as well as near shore use. I have owned the boat since 2002, and used it extensively. It's a dry and comfortable riding hull for an 18, with lots of bow flare and plenty of deadrise at the stern.
I am looking to go a bit larger as my family grows and my boating ambitions expand, but this boat might be perfect for you.
Features:

Extra-wide (8' 6'' beam) 18 ft Deep V Hull in excellent condition.
2006 Evinrude E-Tec 150 Salt Water Edition with Stainless Steel Prop
Previous owner rack stored the boat so the gelcoat still holds a nice shine.

I haven't tested my boat's fuel economy, but here are a bunch of independent tests on a variety of hulls for your perusal... http://www.e-tecinfonet.org/id3.html
Total weight for towing purposes is about 3000 lbs.

Known Issues:
There is a couple of minor electrical issues related to console lighting that I need to repair and there are a couple of minor gelcoat gouges on the bottom I need to marinetex. The speedo doesn't work. I rarely trailer the boat, so the trailer has been in storage. The trailer has some issues with the lights, and one of the bunks needs replacing.
Other notes:
The transom was checked by the mechanic when I re-powered and was pronounced solid. When I replaced the swim platform and added the trim tabs, I drilled into the transom and nice fresh dry wood shavings came out. The windshield is cut down, and the grab rail was lowered (see pics) on the console due to a low bridge issue I have. If the new owner wished, they could restore the rail to it's original position and have a new windshield fashioned.
Asking $15,000 OBO

Thanks Patrik,

The 200 Opti probably flew. I was replacing the original Johnson 140 and was very concerned about transom weight and wanted to stay within the coast guard rating for insurance purposes. As it is the E-Tec 150 worked out perfectly. Had it out to Egmont Key today and it performed flawlessly. With the 150 it has a great hole shot and nice top end, and the boat sits perfectly in the water at rest.

Next time I repower my Biddison, it will be with an E-Tec. I've heard nothing but good about them. Besides, I've had damn good luck with my two JohnnyRudes that have been on the boat. Just repowered in 2001, so it will be a while.

Good luck selling, nice looking boat.

Rode in a Beavertail- 17' with 60HP E-Tec. 8 MPG's--Unbelieveable period- 2 stroke!

Bump...

I am reducing the asking price to $15,000 or best offer. Over $13,000 invested this summer alone! Great boat with a great motor! Looking to go larger or I wouldn't consider selling.
