    Yeah, I`ve been following it too. Looks like a real gem in the pics! Should be interesting to see what she brings.

    Did you check out the 2002 18 2+3 also? There is no reserve and the bids are still relatively low.
    Is this a board members boat????

    -------Dont know the boat,but the back of the truck looks somewhat familiar.Red deck with white stripe is relatively rare by 1984.Boat does look very cool with the cockpit cover on.I can understand the number of bids,as it looks like it needs nothing........ol red!........Bill S

    Thumbs up

    It looks like the same Donzi that was in the
    boat trader online in Sept October. Reason I
    say this is my Donzi is the exact same boat,
    colors and all.The interior wrap around bolster
    is a very nice addition to this year and the
    reversed deck adds addition interest.I know I
    get a lot of compliments from mine.If I was in the market for another Donzi I would be bidding.
    Good Luck.

    Bug,
    I had a 1983 18 2+3 with the same pleated wrap around upholstery. Several years back there was another '83 with the same set up although that one had a factory 454 also. I can`t remember what it had for a drive though.

    Question

    It's not so much that the bunks look long. it's more like the trailer is too short, and they had to add longer bunks. I'll be interested to hear what you have to say after looking at tomorrow Mike.
    PS: for what it's worth... I think there are at least 2 shills in this auction, there are 2 bidders that have been involved in every one of this seller's last 6 auction items.

    I am going to view her tomorrow. He offered her to me for a good price. I see what you mean on the trailer. The owner (he is the 3rd) said it came with the boat when he bought her and it works fine.
