Looking to buy a 16' or 18' Donzi just as a runabout. Have seen a few 16' OB boats (like the one now on ebay, too far away). What is the thought on the OB models versus the I/O versions. Seems like the one on ebay could be made into a fun boat with the addition of a nice engine. TIA

Lest the flurry of offers to sell makes you think that the OB isn't desired ..... I have a '76 16 OB that I have owned for 20 yrs and will not sell until I'm too old and feeble to climb aboard! Absolutely love it.

On second thought .... I think I will be embalmed, have a good glass man seal me in the cockpit.... maybe a fiberglass enclosure that looks like the tonneau ... and be buried in it .... I just told my wife that was my final wish!

RPD, I live on the ocean- south of Boston,Ma. used the DONZI a few times last year, once ran into Boston Harbor & back to my launch site in Hingham-- felt like I ran the BAHAMA 500 ! Fast boat with 200 H.P., handles good but not in 3-4' seas. My other boat is a 27' MAGNUM SEDAN rigged with twin 300X o/b 78 GPS in heavy seas !!! Want to sell DONZI and put the money into the MAGNUM. "HIGH LIFE"

High Life .... it's apples and oranges in comparing a 16' boat to a 27' boat in 3-4' seas .... I was out today in my HydraSports CC (with a 24 degree deep V) which is 22' and I can assure you it would have been miserable in the Donzi .... and I would have found myself a single man after that too .... but running in 1-2' in the Donzi is wonderful and that is a common condition we find here early in the morning and late in the evening as the sea breeze begins to die .... which is why my usage of the Donzi used to be early morning and late afternoon skiing and then going to dinner .... and now, without an avid ski partner, is mostly just taking it out to dinner and coming home under the moonlight!
