    yes v-drives were a stock option from the factory, what model donzi is it? the 454 most likely is not original but might be.
    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    A picture would help,... but 71 and 18, I can only think of a 18 2+3,.. but that's me and my relatively uneducated mind in these matters

    how do you know it is a 71??? in that era Donzi made a couple of 18 footers a couple of 19 footers and an almost 17 footer that could be v drives also some 21 and 22 footers as well

    pictures are needed

    seating layout

    1 drivers seat and an L shaped side rear bench??

    2 buckets and a rear bench??


    if it is a single benchseat it most likely is not a 71 plus it would be 19 feet long

    most likely not a skisporter with a 454 in it

    look at the model list link to the left of the page see if you see your boat?

    The boat is registered as a 1971. It looks like a classic 18. Two swivel seats, bench seat in back, no windsield, drivers seat on left side of boat. I will take pictures and post. any idea what this boat would sell for?

    Looking at the pictures of the model listings it looks mostly like either the 2+3 (18) or the Corsican.

    Then it will let you browse your computer. Find the pictures, and when all 5 lines are filled (or not if you don't have 5 pictures), hit the upload button.

    18 2+3 do you have a hull number?

    look on the tranny for a serial number

    the motor serial number should be on the bell housing and the hull number should be on a silver tag in the back seat area or written on the back of the dash in black marker

    427???

    I am pretty sure it not the stock motor, it is a Chevy 454 with a Holly double pumper carb, and it looks like maybe a 400 turbo transmission, and it has a bm quick shifter, i reealy dont understand why it would have a car trans
