I am considering selling my restored 1979 18 Classic Donzi.

What I am not sure of is the value, I certainly don't need to sell it, and the only reason I would is if I find a MINTY Minx to replace it with.

The boat was restored in the late 1990's by Butson Boat works in Port Carling On Canada.
The color is white burgandy and gold, it is Imron. I will post some pictures today.
The motor is a 400cid chevy, I don't know a lot about it other than it has an edelbrock intake, holley carb and you can see that it has crane gold roller rockers when you take the oil fill out of the valve covers. It also has SS risers and silent choice.
The drive is an Alpha SS, that was rebuilt by stern drive connections in orillia.
Everything works on the boat, it has been flawless for the 10 or so years that I have owned it, all service has been performed at Port Sandfield Marina on Lake Joe, in the Muskoka Lakes.
No Trailer

I am asking 15k Canadian.

Oh, I should mention, I really don't know how fast it goes, I only took my hand held GPS in the boat once, and it ran 70.3 in glass calm water with a full load of gas. It was good cold dry air, but I do suspect with a little chop it and a light load of fuel it might pull a few more.

Pictures below.

Hey! Great boat!
Is the boat on Lake Joe now?
I live in Port Carling and my cottage is on an island on Lake Rosseau and would be very interested in talking with you about the boat.......

You have a sharp looking boat ! Like how the dash is set up. Colors are excellent. Should have never sold my 18. Good luck. "HIGH LIFE"
