Hi Everyone,
I have this old boat that I picked up some time ago because I loved the look of it but had no idea what it was. It got to the point I thought I would have to sell it so I listed it on ebay aus and was informed by another ebayer it was in fact a Donzi. Since then I have been doing lots of reading about Donzi's but have only been able to find Info from the U.S.
I would greatly appreciate help in identifying my boat and if it is infact a genuine Donzi.
It is fitted with a Mercruiser 888 Leg and I have a Ford 302 Windsor in pieces that came out of her.
The deck feels dry and brittle and is sun baked, crows feet hairline finish cracks all over it.
Is there anywhere I should be able to find I.D. numbers? I would assume it is a 70's Hull - 888 Mercruiser was 1972?
anyway here is a few pics please tell me what you think and any info is very much appreciated.
Cheers

Please note that there is no engine in it at the moment and thats why it sits a little high in the water at the back
