Hi everyone!
Long story short.... When I was growing up my uncle used to race a donzi out at west palm beach. Since the first time I saw his boat, I wanted one ( I was 7). I dont have a lot of money, but do a good job at staying "Middle Class". I live in colorado, and having a large racing boat is not all that practical. I did however run into a 1989 Donzi Raggazza 21 that I just had to have. My own little piece of the pie. I know its not much, but it is mine and its still a Donzi! I love it and am now trying to get the boat ready for next spring. The boat needs some repair on the floor and interior since it was sitting uncovered for the past 3 years and minimal fine tuning of the engine (5.7) with a cobra outdrive.
I do have some concerns about about how the boat shifts from forward to reverse. You can hear the gears spinning and grinding together and then it slams itself into gear. I'm pretty sure this is not normal! Has anyone else ran into this or can give me any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks For reading and am looking forward to being part of the Donzi family!
