Looks pretty original except for the extra gauges in the dash. Would the slotted steering wheel make it earlier than '69?

The metal logo script, vent and steering wheel suggests earlier than 1969. Probably 1967 based on the wheel.

70 mph with that prop :eek:



Heck yeah, all day long... behind a "ligit" tow vehicle. At least until the trailer bearings spontaneously combust.


Cool old boat, but I will leave it for you restoration specialists! :wink:

I’m skeptical regarding that outdrive’s ability to handle the amount of hp that would be required to push a Ski-Sporter to 70 mph. :drive:

A 50+ mph 16' Donzi Ski Sporter is about as much fun as you can have. Nice original Rocket.

16' prices are amazing. I must have been away too long.

The Volvo was an improvement over the Eaton as the boat evolved.
