    Donzi Fishboats- lets see em

    OK folks, decided to start a thread for all of you that have Fishboats. Post pics, and tell us a little bit about your boat. Please remeber to be considerate of bandwidth and follow the posting size guidelines. Sorry folks, Fishboats only, there will be other threads for other donzi's.

    1987 F-23

    1987 f-23. IMHO, one of the greatest fishing boats ever made. Has the same hull as the z-25, very deep v, and takes waves incredibly well. Currently has a modified 2.5L 200 with a hydraulic jack plate, Bobs Tuner, Boysen Reeds, and CLE lower unit. Soon to have additional 10" of setback, and alot more HP.

    here is another f-23. This one was for sale a little while ago. Not sure if it ever sold; the owner was pretty proud of the boat, but it looks pretty clean and shows one of the color options available when this model was produced (white, yellow, blue and I beleive teal were the others).

    Here is a 23 we saw when we were in Miami at the boat show run with Poodle's crew. I wish I had gotten a closer picture, this thing was mint.

    Here's one I saw earlier this year when I was working in Brunswick Ga. I think it was a 35.

    Here's a real nice St Topaz that belongs to a Mr. Cooke. He sent me this pic when he became a member of the Midwest Donzi Club. Very cool Donzi.

    Jefe's Revenge

    Here is teh flagship of the Donzi Red Bikini Team....and she ain't a bad fish platform either.

    1998 30ZF, with twin 2001 225 HP Evinrude FICHT (all the upgrades done). Donzi Dealer Demo model with all the bells and whistles. Notice the sunpad for the Bikini Team and the "radar arch" call it what you want its really a HUGE grab rail to keep others in the boat during my world famous turns .

    1987 FC (fish cuddy) 23, 260hp mercruiser alpha 1. A rare model with the Z25 deep V hull (without the 2' platform) and a super smooth ride. I get lots of attention wherever I go. This year we were 20 miles off Montauk in 3-5 footers and 20kt winds. The boat rode through it very well, but we did take a wave over the stern while chumming/drifting. Good thing for that new rule 2000 bildge pump!!! The fishing was good, we had a 7 foot blue shark right at the boat!! What a boat!!
