New guy trying again. The Donzi I have owned since new is from 1983/84, 22 to 23 feet, forward cuddy cabin, MercCruiser inboard, two pedestal chairs forward, two seats alongisde engine cover aft, open cockput, rod holders under both gunwales. Anyone know what model this is, how many were built, etc. Thanks for the help.

The Hornet III seems closest to the hull design, but 21 feet doesn't feel right. Without seeing the cockpit, this may not be the right model. Anyone else have any ideas?

El Pescador comes to mind but without the cuddy.. :(

You need to put up a pic and you will know what you have in about 1 second...

Very similar hull to the Minx or GT, but mine has controls well forward with instruments on the starboard side and a hatch between the two pedestal chairs into a focsale with short V-berths. Cockpit is open all the way back to the engine cover which has two removable seats on each side right in the stern. Engine shut off switch is under the port seat in the stern. You all are getting warmer. Many thanks.

..............Don't forget, some of these boats have been customized over the years...............Fullcircle, you bought the boat new and you don't know what it is? Or is this a quiz? (Your comment, "you are all getting warmer"?.)

Not a quiz. Not customized. I have owned it since new. FC 23 sounds familiar, but the only photograph of an FC 23 I can find is an outboard. This is an inboard. Single porthole on each side if that helps.

Found a photograph online. It's a 1984 Tournament Fisherman with a 5.7 Mercruiser V-8. All original. Hull gell coat like new. Under 300 original hours. Yard maintnained. Always dry rack stored. Shrink wrapped in winter. Upholstery needs freshening. What should it sell for in Spring? I apologize for the guessing game, but I now know what I have.

After owning the boat 20+ years you dont have a picture of it??

Nope. Photos are of fish not the fishing platform. Will have photos come Spring time. The Alabama boat may be the sister ship. Little hard to tell from the photos. What are the differences between the FC-23 and the F-23? Thank you all for all your help on this.
