Just inspected this project Donzi on 7/29/09 as I am in Ocean City NJ.
Basically just a 16 hull !
Deck has severe stress cracking and lots of bondo in a three foot square area in front of cockpit where it appears to have been damaged by a tree strike in a past hard life. Deck has holes near lifting/ mooring eyes.
Deck is in very rough shape from years of uncovered outdoor seashore exposure!
No engine, just bellhousing & very rough Volvo outdrive.
No deck hardware, ie: air scoops, bow or stern light, step pads, hatch hinges, rubrail banding etc. No interior other than fiberglass seat form. No gauge panel, no steering system at all, no engine throttle/ shift control.
Hull in fair shape with suspect area in lower transom..
Trailer is fair to poor shape.
You need courage & deep pockets to take-on this restoration project ...still it can be done.
I hope this classic boat is not cut-up or crushed !
I would be happy to provide photos or answer any questions from my inspection survey! I only live ten min. away from this boat !
I do not own this Donzi.

I emailed this owner in the past, the only concern was that there is "no paperwork" on this boat. I may be wrong but after a certain age, does the boat need a title, or do ALL boats need a title? I'd hate to put a ton of money into a boat I can't register or sell in the future. Thank you all in advance.

Check with the New Hampshire DMV. I have registered an old tin boat, no brand name, no numbers.

They issued a HIN. All I needed was a bill of sale.

I had an agreement on a price.
I was willing to pay their asking price... Showed-up with cash & my truck ready to close te deal...
Sellers then jacked-up the price higher again!
Seller's are playing price games!
I refused to pay anymore!
Drove away angry~
They wasted my time!
Proceed with caution!
