I thought Hornets were made to look like a 16?

hull 51 is a benchseat Hornet and Wa Lo at hull number 52 could very well be the first 2 +3 Hornet

Well Scott, you did it again....beautiful boat. I have only seen a somewhat similar color combo on one other Donzi, I think the one owned by Donzivol, which has a black hull, white deck, and a green stripe of a similar color to the deck on your Hornet. Was this green/black combo a regular production color combo offered by Donzi? Great job on this project!

What some here don't know is this boat, built by a gentleman from Tampa, is legendary.
Has a supercharged BBF w/about 900 HP and does about 85 MPH!
That's really fast for a V-Drive!
Oh yeah..............you can hear this boat about 1/2 mile away!
I thought this particular boat would never leave home.
How did you do it Scott???,??????????

while i'm reasonably positive it does NOT do 85... (it is seriously prop diameter limited)
it does run pretty darn well
the blower whine and surging idle are worth the price in itself, and it's LOUD
arguably, the coolest Hornet in existence
lively the color combo on donzivol's boat was very popular in the early 70's especially on the 18's from the factory
that combo would be white bottom black sides white deck and inca gold
wa lo's color combo is grumble green inca gold and white
Scott's chicken boat was like dv's color superhatz also has an 18 that color

My God that is sweet! More pics please.
I'll never forget the early morning at AOTH, say 6:00 AM, that this thing got fired up down at the docks. Wanted to be annoyed by being jarred awake, but the noise was too pleasant to even think of it. I don't think anyone alive slept in that morning.
