I was in Jacksonville for work so I passed by to see this boat. First of all, this boat has been hanging on this dock for over 20years. The owner says that he drove it only once or twice.

He is not the original owner but he has the original trailer under a car port with a bunch of junk on it. It needs to be repaired, Needs new rims and tires and wench at the very least.

He has the cushions in the garage but the foam seems dry rotten even though they vinyl looks un touched.

The boat its self has been hanging over salt water and is UN usable. You would have to get it sea towed to the marina and place on the trailer. The entire gel coat is gone, Faded to nothing. I wasn't able to see in the engine compartment but i would imagine that after 20 years hanging over salt water that engine is toast.

This is way too much project for me. Even so I offered him $1500 and he laughed at me. So I think this guy would rather is it wither and die rather than give it up for under his asking price

Thanks for taking and posting the pics. Sad that people let things get to that state. Was once a really nice boat. :(

Before I saw Bob's reply, I was going to say that it is a good thing the guy did not accept your offer. I am definitely not saying the boat is not worth $1500 but as a whole bunch of Donzi faithful will let you know, you would have a whole bunch more than your budget in this one in a Hurry! Good Luck, Tom

That could be a "gem in the rough"......just saying....:wink:

Without seeing it in person it is hard to tell if it is just dirty or "worn out"........for $1500 with trailer, a little elbow grease and some $$$ and it might be a runner.....:)
