    1983 Donzi 22 Classic OUTBOARD Reduced!

    the rarest of the rare...

    1983 Donzi 22 Classic Outboard. Blue & Honey. THE ONLY DOCUMENTED FACTORY 22 CLASSIC OUTBOARD KNOWN TO EXIST! Hull #DMR220521182OB. Rumour has it there may be a second one, but it has yet to be found.

    The boat currently has a 275hp Evinrude V8, 20" Offshore Midsection, Bob's Nose Cone with Dual LWP's, Land & Sea 4" Jackplate with indicator gauge all mounted on a custom setback box. The engine has low hours, no salt and is set up to run on premix, however the VRO pumps and oil tank are there and intact so converting back to oil injection is not an issue. The boat also has Eddie Marine Trim Tabs (Similar to K-Planes) The gauges are Faria, and the engine controls are Gaffrig. The radio is a Sony CD/MP3 player with 4 Jensen speakers. There is a custom made Sunbrella cover as well as a cockpit cover.

    The boat sits on a 2001 custom steel trailer from Performance Trailer, Lake George NY. The trailer is in excellent condition, I originally had it made for my Yellow 97 Classic. The only real miles on it other than the 1/4 mile trip to the boat launch are one trip to AOTH in KY and one trip to Lake Geo in NY. The trailer is black with dual axles & aluminum wheels, spare tire holder, inline brake actuator (looks nicer) and surge brakes on the front axle. I will post some pix and some more details over the next couple of days.

    Make me a fair offer.... its gotta go! Call me @ 978-502-5465 for more details

    Will separate

    I think I priced it a little high... so I am going to drop the price in hopes of selling it quick. Princess found a boat she REALLY likes, and I am feeling kinda generous..... make me an offer I can't refuse!

    Jefe...

    If I could afford to give it away... you would be the proud new owner! Especially considering your vigorous defense of white eggbeaters! I forgot to mention the firesale price.....

    $18,000 with everything... boat, engine, trailer, cover, spares.....

    Its gotta go quick so I can get a jump on the other boat...
