    Scroll down on the posting page to "manage attachments", it is good to check the size of the photos. They spread to wide if they are to big.

    It does sorta look like a Donzi in the pic. Not all bad. But a single V-drive? That's an odd power package for something like this and it's going to seriously limit any performance potential as well as making it a bit of a handful around the dock.

    I gotta think you'd be better off re-powering with a pair of small block stern drives...easy for me to say, it's not my money.

    For some completely unknown reason, I had an image of "early Cigarette" go through my head when I saw the picture. Nothing more than an impression, but that was the first thing I thought.

    By the looks of the one picture it could be one of these boats built by Lancer , Aero, PREDATOR, marine. These hulls came in all sizes 27', 28' & 31' as blanks or completed boats made here in Michigam. Many had Donzi, Magnum, Cigarette stckers on them. This could be one of them with a vee drive....

    from the houston pic, my first guess would have been squadron...but i think it's an aero/lancer.

    It would be pretty easy to convert to an outdrive.
