Due to lack of usage I have decided to sell my gorgeous 1997 22, it is not an easy decision. Some info:
-She is like new with very low hours. Probably about 400 hours max, less than 10 in the last two years which is the problem.
-300HP, 454 carb motor, Bravo 1 Drive (drive was stolen from dry storage so the insurance bought a new Bravo in 2005)
-Everything works perfectly and service records are available, complete service (oil, filters, eng tune, impeller, drive removal engine alignment chk, some hoses changed) in 2015
-Gelcoat and upholstery like new, hard to find any blemishes (there are a few scrapes low on the keel where the previous owner beached the boat a few times)
-Everything original, no mods (I did add two forward cleats that match the rear cleats)
-I purchased the boat in 2005 (due to the previous owner not having time to use her)
-Based on soundings, the transom, stringers, etc. all seem good-- I have never had the engine out of the boat.
-I had a custom sunbrella cockpit cover and full hull cover made--both in like new condition, cover can be used for storage, towing, or boat-lift
-I completely rebuilt the trailer, new fenders, paint, bunks, carpets, brakes, bearings, tires, lights. I live on a lake so the trailer probably has less than 100 miles on it.
This is a truly rare find, stunning Donzi. She is a turn-key nothing needed, 60-65mph boat (I think I got 63 or 64 gps when I was experimenting with props). As you on the forum know this can also be an 80mph boat but some
motor and steering investment would be required. I want $25K cash for a nice simple sale, not interested in any trades. This seems like too low of a price considering the wakeboard boat I just saw that someone paid 80K for.
I would like to see her go to someone on the forum so I have not advertised elsewhere yet. Ed
