does any one have a donzi dinghy

[breitstone]

i would be willing to buy a donzi dinghy does any one know where to buy one

I have been looking at used Donzis for years now and only found one for sale. no where near my location.

I don't know how many they made but between the limited production, age of the boats, and the lack of obvious Donzi-ness I am guessing only a handful are alive at this point.

KENNY RYAN of RYAN ENGINEERING in South Jersey has been buiding a small number of these dinks for almost 30 years now~
With & without the bottom glass.
They are exact Donzi dink clones .
I don't know if he bought Donzi's hull molds or if they were "Splashed" ?
I suspect splashed as he has splashed many hull types over the years. You find his dinks all over South Jersey.
I have not seen Kenny Ryan for years . I once rented a boatslip from his dad.
Word is he is still in the boatbuildng business.

I lost track of Kenny Ryan many years ago.
He always was a good guy !
Have heard through the grapevine that he is still splashing boats.
Again these dinks are not called Donzis but are exact clones.
His business was in Egg Harbor Township NJ. last I heard.
Ryan Engineering Inc.
Saw the business name on a list of South Jersey boat builders not long ago.
Do a web search for him!
His used boats pop-up for sale all the time in South Jersey !
