very nice! I'm not in the market, but had to put in my two cents on your boat. Obviously I love the Donzi, but you did a heck of a job matching up that trailer. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, all my toys have that special custom look, to make them my own, see attached photos of my rides.
Integrity Trailer Company does one hell of a job. You name it, they will do it for you, and at a resonable price. It is the same place Parnell has had his trailers built.

Took the Donzi out for a spin on Spring Lake yesterday. Can't believe April 15th, 80 DEGREES in MICHIGAN!!!

I'd like to say thanks to REDLINR AKA Dennis.
I called Dennis the other day to inquire about the trailer cover on his 18'. He told me that it was custom made by a local shop, and that they no longer had the patterns.
I really wasn't interested in towing my boat the 4 hours one way to the canvas shop . Since I have the same boat as Dennis he offered to take his boat back to the shop for new patterns. I spoke with the shop owner to discuss payment and shipping. Dennis then called the shop and made all the arrangements to take his boat over.
I was amazed by his kindness and willingness to help a fellow Donzi enthusiast. It's members such as Dennis that make this such a great web site. Anyone looking for a nice 18' can be assured that dealing with Dennis will be a good experience.

Good luck with the sale and thanks again !

Very nice looking boat, I especially like the red interior.

Ditto on Integrity Trailers...I also had a great experience with them.

You got to be kidding! I got $3500.00 into that trailer. Plus I still got the orginal single axle trailer that came with it.

[REDLINR]

To sweeten the deal, I can deliver the boat (within reason; ie, not to the west coast)
Also, the boat has a full tank of gas ( 40 gallons)
So, let's make a deal...

I had to google hackercraft to see what it was......WOW what a beautiful boat. I don't know about the other members, but I would like to hear more about this new beauty. How does she handle, cruising and top speeds, etc.

[Just Say N20]

And LOTS of pictures! :yes:

[REDLINR]

Hi Guys, I have been out West on a trip to Yellowstone. I had no cell phone service, Tv, or internet. So if someone was trying to contact me, please try again. 616-638-1692.
My Donzi is still for sale, alot of interest, and trade perposals, but no one with a firm offer yet.
She is sitting in my yard and waiting for a new home.
Make me and offer.

[REDLINR]

Took the Donzi out for a run, what a blast, out in Lake Michigan. Sure is a different ride than my 22ft Hacker Craft Woody.

Can't drive both boats at one time and our Summers are to short to use three boats.

This great boat needs a new home to be enjoyed...

PRICE REDUCED TO $14,900.00

CALL 616-638-1692

[REDLINR]

bump - still available

[DAULEY]

lets see pixs of the hacker

[REDLINR]

Here are some pictures of the new Hacker Craft. It is a replica of a 1923 Gentleman's Racer, built in 1998 with modern construction methods (5200 expoxy) and power. She has a 460c.i. big block Ford @ 400 h.p.
I named her "OLD SCHOOL"
Hackers were built in Mt. Clemens, Mi from the 20's thru the 40's. They ran in the Gold Cup Races of that time, with v-12 Liberty aircraft engines, or V-12 Packer engines.

[REDLINR]

A couple more pics...

[Just Say N20]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! :eek:

Where did you get the name made? It looks like gold foil.

I'm in Grand Rapids.

[REDLINR]

Hi there, yes it is vinyl gold leaf. alot cheaper than real stuff. I got a quote for just the transom name in real gold leaf, at $750.00.
It would not be that bad, except with a woodie, I will need to refinish/revarnish in a couple years if I get some nicks, etc, and then it is alot of money if I got to remove the real gold leaf each time..
The vinyl was only $125.00 for both the old scholl and class of 23 lettering, all installed by the Sign Factory in Grand Haven 616-844-4353.
You can't tell the difference from the real gold leaf. A word of caution, there are a couple of brands and thickness, go with the best at a little more cost, it does make a big difference in the final look.

[Mac]

Any pictures of the Donzi engine, how many hours, is it carbed or FI? Thanks.

[REDLINR]

It is a carbed engine, with about 434 hours on the hour meter.

Hi Guys, I have not been on the site for awhile, been busy putting in a new wooden interior in my HackerCraft, and appling 10 coats of varnish on it.
The 18 Donzi will be back up for sale when the weather breaks, but the price will go back up.
For those of you who have had interest, and want to pull the trigger NOW, I will let her go for $12,500. You can leave it stored in my yard under the covers till spring... call Dennis at 616-638-1692.
Merry Christmas to all you "Donzi - ites"...

[exzebra]

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

[REDLINR]

Happy New Year all you DONZI - ITES...

[REDLINR]

Spring is coming, and by mid March I will plan on taking the tarps off, and sell this baby to someone who has time to enjoy her. I can deliver for the right price...
call me and let's put a deal together. Call Dennis at 616-638-1692

[REDLINR]

I am proud to announce that my Donzi has been sold and I have recieved a 30% deposit as of this afternoon.
Thanks to all of you guys that have showed interest.
Funny, after a year I had three very interested parties wanting the boat this week.
Boat will be delivered and sea trial on March 20th.

[donzi racer]

Congrats dennis, great looking donzi. Great year too. Hope new owners really enjoy it. Tom

[Tony]

Congratulations on the sale...I am certain the new owner will be pleased.

Did you sell it local...maybe to a Registry member?
We like to keep as many of these sweet old Donzis in Michigan as possible!

[Sweet Cheekz]

Congrats Denny
Someone is getting a great boat

we completed the deal March 21 and the new owner lives on a great inland lake that is just perfect for the 18 Classic. he lives on Cross Lake, in Shreveport, la, so any one out that way sees a red and white Donzi flying up and down the lake, that was mine...
thanks to all you guys who give me help and advice when needed, that is what makes this site so great.
Now i am off to several ACBS Classic boat shows this summer across the midwest and east coast. So if you see a Woody Hacker Craft Gentleman Racer with the number "G - 46" on her side and the name " OLD SCHOOL RACIN", give me a shout...

DENNIS

The Les Cheneaux Islands in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has an annual show that is supposed to be a big one. Look for Hessel and Cedarville on your map, just east of the Mackinaw Bridge.

[REDLINR]

We attended that show last year and spent a week up there.

Another great show is in Traverse City, Mi. called " Boats on the Boardwalk". It is on the first Saturday in August, and then the following weekend is the Hessells, Mi Boat show.

If you like Woodies, these two shows are a must.

[jl1962]

FYI - There is a VERY nice feature article on Redliner and "Old School" in the current issue of The Rudder which is the official quarterly magazine of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. It is available in the Member's Section, I'll see if I can provide the link.

[REDLINR]

Hi Guys, it has been a long time since I have been on here. In reply to the above post, the article referred to was a nice write up on all the 14 events my wife and I attended with our classic Gentleman Racer, OLD SCHOOL.
We put 936 hours on the old 460 big block this summer.
Hope to see you guys around on the lakes next summer...
Redlinr.

[Just Say N20]

Is that a typo? 936 hours in one season! That's incredible!

I've always thought I was doing well when I broke 150 in a season.

[REDLINR]

OPPS, i did do a typo, it was 97 hours... thanks for catching that...

[biggiefl]

I could see 936 miles. I live in FL and I can barely break 100. I think my record is about 200. Heck the Coast Guard I don't think does 936/yr. That is 117 days, 8 hours a day. I think somebody left the key on.
