Old but New Member

Hi everybody.I used to come here all the time years ago.I will call them my dark days.Anyway I have some new questions and old questions I forgot the anwers too.LOL
1st: To get to all areas on the site what do I have to do? If it is just a paying member Problem solved.

2nd:I have a Donzi myself.It hasn't hit the water in 12-13 years an needs alot of work.Over all its is in pretty good shape concidering how long it has been neglected.Heres some number I got off the boat.

Hull#DMR1967473H(The 3 could be a 8 But I dont think so)
Tag Behind back Seat
C-19H-67
Pump No. 7353004
7257990 (Cant read what that stands for)
Also the patient No. if you want it I will get it.

Any help with what i have would be helpful.Iwill get some pic's in the near future.Thanks ahead of time.I know you Donzi will help

Yes it does have a Berkley jet drive & a 455 oldsmobile.What year do you think.An was the number I didnt know the oldsmobile number?

[Just Say N20]

I would guess 1973 for the year.

I think the hull number might be 67, as 673 seems to high

DMR = Donzi Marine

19 = length

67 = hull number ?

4373 = April (3rd?) 1973

Am I close?

Im not sure about a the year or the number that is in the order of production.That why Im here.But I will have many more questions.Also what does C-19H-67 mean on the factory sticker on the back behind the seat mean

[Just Say N20]

My 1967 16 Ski-Sporter says C16-409 for Classic (?) 16, hull # 409, so I guess yours would mean Classic 19 Hornet, hull # 67.

It's been discussed here previously and the consensus as I recall is that "C" was added during "Chisholm" period of ownership.

Based on previous threads I would guess:

DMR: Donzi Marine
19: length
67: Hull number
4: Month (April)
73: Year
H: Hornet

The foil sticker appears to confirm that it is Hull number 67, a Hornet.

I believe the hull number indicated on a serial i.d. is specific to the sequence of a particular model vs. indicating its sequence within total hulls of that length regardless of the finished model. (ie. Hornets and St. Tropez share the hull but not the deck - or lack of one - so 67 likely only refers to the sequence in the Hornet model of that hull). Total Hornets are less than 100 from anything I have been able to uncover.

Now the question on everyone's mind...is the seating 2+3 or benchseat?

Let's see some pictures!
