Not my add and not my boat, just sharing with the group, but I have seen this boat in person. Here is the craigslist listing...

This is a yellow and white Donzi sweet 16. The boat is original, 1976 model. This boat is being sold as is. What u are buying is shown in the pictures. Currently it does not run. The engine and drive are on the boat. The engine needs to be rebuilt. The outdrive is in working order. $3,500.00 or best offer. Call 703-855-2647.

Seems like a sweet deal for someone who wants a project. If I remember the correctly the motor was a super high performance setup and this thing was crazy fast when it was running.

I have seen the cutout in the middle of the back portion of the back seat. The one I know had the cutout for pulley bolt clearances. But, it looks like someone cut a hole in the engine hatch for air cleaner clearance.

Found a picture of the engine bay from a couple of years back that I took when it was running. Like I said I had seen it in the day.
Don't know if it still looks like this, I assume it is close but I thought I would share.

Based on bverd's pic of the motor, I would think it would at least be worth a look for someone interested in a project in this price range. Could be a diamond in the rough. Thanks for posting.

I am happy to go up and take photos of the boat and give it a once over if there is someone who is serious.

Pretty sure this is the same boat posted for auction on lienit.com about 3 weeks ago. Starting bid was around USD$2K. Not sure if it sold there and this is a new seller.

Arie S... not sure what to say other then keep trying. I am under the impression that it is still available. I would keep trying both the phone and email.

Happy to go check it out further if you ever get ahold of him and work something out.
