Hornet 19 foot model database

found the pic so the locker is placed in the hull and then the deck is placed over the floor , the floor lockers in the benchseat run port to starboard not bow to stern

basically the locker just needs a 9hp johnrude

The one to the left is the new one we made for The Ultimate.

New locker just sitting in hull and not attached.

Shot of lockers with me standing by them. You can see how tall they are.

[mattyboy]

Thanks Mario

[mattyboy]

found another one trying to get the hull number

[Gerk]

My buddy said he has hull #70 and it is a 2+3 with 454 and volvo drive.

Hope this helps your list

[mattyboy]

Thanks yes it does does he need a copy of the build card ?
Let me know got any pics I am trying to get pics to go with numbers

[Gerk]

The build card would be great.
He got it and it was painted. Think he would love to know all the original stuff

Thank you00s0s_4wslA5GtcV9_600x450.jpg

originally white bottom light blue sides white deck light blue stripe 1973

454 flag jet

so you should see signs of transom work

judging by the invoice date and the start date I would say it was a custom special order the jet drive number is missing perhaps that was not added at the factory but was rigged by someone else

Hello from Oxford in the UK

I am new to Donzi ownership and hope I may be able to fill in one of your blanks.
It seems I have Hornet number 37! - 19H37 Completed 5-22-68 - fitted with her original HM 225hp engine, number B8HM-2114-1-RW, Volvo drive (I think it's a 250) B220816.

She spent all of her life on Mountain Lake Virginia, but thanks to a very friendly gesture by some dear friends who have know for years I love classic boats, I previously worked for Volvo Penta in the 60's, they bought her and shipped her to the UK in March this year.

One thing I need help with - she is a 2 plus 3 boat and from my limited information on the Hornet they were only made as bench seat boats in 1968 - is this correct.

There is some evidence that the deck has been changed! - A redundant/inaccessible battery box under the rear seat, some evidence that a bulkhead has been removed about a foot forward of the 2+3 aft deck and seat back, and impossible fuel sender access in cockpit floor.

I am looking forward to bringing her back to life, shes been painted - (originally green and white) and need some TLC, buts mostly all there and original fittings - but, such a shame the windshield is absent.
