Any Interest at $22K, ready to go, needs nothing.
Turbo 1 3 blade 23 pitch. The boat had a Bravo 1 4 blade when I bought it but I did not like mid-range operation with the Bravo 1 prop. The Bravo 1 is like new and available if anyone is...
Thank you for keeping us in the loop. We are on a similar path. Although our 18 is not together yet we are making good progress. I just ordered a Titan (21"LH) as I need the prop to figure out how...
I have the same engine in a 1997 22 (7.4 liter, carb, 300hp, Bravo One) and I get about 63 gps with a Turbo prop. I got a little more top end with the Bravo prop but I liked the overall handling...
I am willing to help with transportation costs or towing to move this boat north, south, or east. Ed
If I remember correctly (it was 45+ years ago) my barrel back 1967 18 had only a ny-lock nut holding the props on. The boat was raced prior to me getting it and they had an assortment of props...
Thank you for the info and time Matty. If the 250 shaft is shorter it looks like a problem but I guess others have made it work. I assume you made the custom washer -- as opposed to it being a part...
Thank You, good info. I guess the first step is to buy a Solas Titan. Was that prop influenced by the work the Griz did? I think I understand what you said about properly positioning the prop...
I like the way you think f_in, drilling and tapping the shaft is somewhat scary. We would also use a LH prop. However it seems to me a RH prop would also be pushing it on --- unless you were in...
I have gone over several threads and reviewed a lot of excellent information on props for a Volvo drive. Our 18 has the 302 H&M pkg with a Volvo 250 -- supposedly it had 235 hp (not sure how accurate...
That is a bend Scott. I cannot see a waterline on the tank or any signs in the foam of it being saturated. I think the drain tube along the bottom vee in this boat was installed and sealed better...
A while back I posted a thread about how we left gas in the tank of our 18 for close to 10 years of non-use, the result was a thick layer of a pitch like substance on the bottom of the tank which...
In case any of you don't know how beautiful a 22 is in the water :), I think it is a length to beam ratio thing. I just listed the boat on Craigslist locally.8244482445
I am going to list this on Craigslist (and maybe eBay, does anyone have any opinions on these sites for selling Donzis?). She is fully serviced, fueled, and ready to be used this summer. Ed ...
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...
Thanks to all of you and especially Matty, we will also be heading in the Titan direction when we put the boat back together with the Volvo 250. This thread is very interesting in that I knew about...
Definitely a product you want to shop around for. As an example, I get most of my boat insurance from a broker I have used for 30+ years. Currently I have two boats with them. A 22' Boston Whaler...
I have lots of experience using 250/270/280 stock drives including racing offshore production in the early 70's. With the props we had available (Volvo, Michigan, OJ/Johnson, etc) the volvo lower...
In the early 70's I rode in an 18 at the Donzi factory and it had a sbc and a Volvo speedmaster lower unit. I guess this was just prior to the TRS drive taking Volvo out of the equation for...
There has been some discussion of water pumps and pump parts for the pump used by H&M in many of the early Donzi classics. I found a good place to get parts and service for these pumps that may be...
Well I certainly understand your position Matty. It might be less costly if all time is accounted for to just put a mercruiser pkg in our '69 and move on. However our engine, drive, water pump,...
Not sure how we moved from manifolds to water pumps but I think Depco Pump can provide some parts for these pumps. Go to their site and search on the Jabsco model that H&M used 11850-80 I think. ...
Actually this information is not exclusive to the H&M log manifolds that we are working with but could be appropriate for other situations also. We are working on our 1969 18 (which as you can...
Jim, we have exactly the same panel and gauges on our '69 H&M 18. I just disconnected the gauge wires at the tank sending unit and I believe one side of the gauge is 12V (ign) and the other side...
Glad you did George, lots of knowledge in this short thread. I accept and appreciate your explanation. The glass on our stringers etc. seem a little thicker than you describe but I am sure no two...
