would there be any interest out there in donzi fanatic land

for a full size wall display of a 16 would stick out from the wall around 2 feet and would be setup with mounting hardware would be a wild thing to display in a bar or shop ?? wouldn't be cheap tho but it definetly would be a one of a kind

would look something like this less the outdrive but all the other hardware like the rub rail and the exhaust would be there

yes it would be a real 16 that is beyond being restored to seaworhty status
cut in half length wise painted and "restored" with hand rail decals and it would hang on a wall a look like it projects from the wall

sounds pretty cool. you can get 2 of them out of a boat too.

plus, you can use a pretty cheap paint considering it won't be exposed to the elements.

Matty -
I sincerely hope the new guy hasn't bricked up your old boat that badly yet? :frown:
I suppose we could leave it on permanent display at Treasure Cove. :cool:

Seriously - it's a great idea though. I've seen it done with bits and pieces of old boats several times. They really are just ornamentation anyway, whether they are floating or just hanging on a wall.

Why do I see the scrap rate for Donzi 16s increasing with something like this?

I would be interested. Not sure where the heck I would put it, but the idea sounds pretty cool!
Maybe on the ceiling of the lake house. Hmmm.

Afflicted.

Why not have the whole boat mounted on a divider wall,1/2 a donzi in both rooms:) or you could cut the boat in half and wount it to the outside of a building so it looks like the boat crashed through it:)
