All orginal 1973 X-18 Royal BLue gelcoat, a beautiful boat. I have started to like the x-18 more so than the 18's.

Here is our new aquisition. 1969 Donzi 18ft. Barrel Back. It is a bit unusual in that it looks very stock from the outside but is upgraded with a bravo outdrive and a very tricked out 302 motor. Don't have a clue as to the speed but she is quick, evident by her name ( Honey Slo Down ).
Deck needs stripping to old gel (a walnut shell job in the winter) and the new interior and seats are on order. Stainless Marine a coming and 4". (from stock 3")
Winter project #27
what is stainless marine?
Stainless Marine; exhaust manifolds, cross overs and other great goodies..

Is that arneson drive something that they did stock or is it something that you guys with them added on?

No, Geoo has made a few, er, slight changes to his rocket ship. (Giggling madly.) I know I'll miss some boats, but CDMA, Jamesbon, and MOP (?) are also engineering their own little Arnie masterpieces.Originally Posted by Audiofn
Here's a bit of Geoo's work:

Jon. Geoo's is the epitomy of MODS and beyond high performance.
This was NEVER offered, didn't exist back then.
He has taken a high 60's low 70's boat (at that with a TON of Horsepower!!! , and added this drive and about another 400 HP to reach beyond 800, and now see's 120's.
There is a "chute" for the driver...This is not a Sunday Church thing.. )
Wish I owned it.
