Reluctantly for sale to make room for another Donzi. 2014 is the 50th Birthday of Donzi Marine, run it on Lake George at the 2014 Dust-off in June and trailer it home anywhere!
A wonderful old boat. Boat is in extremely good shape and shows very well - just some honest patina and as a classic car friend says - patina is the new black! This boat is the talk of the docks wherever it goes. Classic Fiberglass is beginning to get some respect in the collectible boat market and this is a true Golden Age, Iconic, Summer of '67, Hendrix, LBJ classic!
