    Donzi 14

    Greg,
    I grew up in West Hartford, CT. I was good friends with the original owner who had a cottage down on Niantic Bay. We used the boat primarily on the CT River and Niantic bay area with some trips out in the sound on calmer days. The last engine in the boat was a 470, 4cyl with 170 hp, boat ran about 55 but its the handling that makes these boats so fun to drive. I have never been in a boat that you can turn the wheel so hard and it felt like it was on rails, never skipped or jumped. The boat looks beautiful, I didn't get a chance to go down and see it in person but my buddy stopped in occasionally to watch the progress. I believe the place that did the glass work has another baby 14 they will eventually be restoring. Good luck to the owner, Jim

    The other Baby 14 is mine that Tom is doing all the structural work on. The 14 is really a Cigarette that Don Aronow took with him when he sold DONZI and Magnum. It's was rigged and titled at the Cigarette factory. I hope to have both 14's done over the winter.

    Baby 14

    Scott,
    Sure looks like they do nice work, good luck on getting it done. I will try to post some of the pictures of the 14, I believe I uploaded a few way back when to the web site. If I remember correctly it was one of the times I took it to Lake Champlain in Vermont.

    I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.

    Het Scott

    How many do you think you could get together for one gathering? Any interest in that? Maybe a half dozen, maybe more?
    Plenty of notice.

    That's a whole lotta love going on there !

    Is it my imagination or does the baby 14 carry less deadrise than other models ?
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !
