Interesting day for Donzis for sale.
He included a couple of small pictures taken during the restoration in his ad, but I didn't post them. I did include a couple of the "before" pictures.

Something odd... no outboard rudder housing like the stock V Drives. A clone? Converted from IO? I'd like to see the transom of the unrestored hull.

I agree but the trailer looks to be the same one before the restoration..Could have been done when it was yellow..

pics don't seem to be of the boat complete, but in process. you can tell the one in the water it has a small swim platform on the back but it is in none of the other pictures.

If you are actually interested in the boat I suggest asking for new pictures. that would probably answer most of the questions.
