    Donzi 18 wanted

    I am looking for a really good Donzi 18 having sold my Chris Craft after 15 years of ownership.
    Ideally pre 1998, either a low hours original boat or restored. Must be turn key, fully sorted and reliable.
    Any colour considered but not a great red fan . I am not in a hurry but would like to find the right boat.
    A Hornet 19 would also be a possibility but I understand there aren't many around. I am based in the UK but can deal with all the shipping having done it before.

    If you're searching the globe from your location the following is a useful US link .

    https://www.powerboatlistings.com/donzi/

    I have no connection to them at all , and have not used them either but it appears that a lot of the ads are NOT recent , so bear that in mind.

    A fun place to look at all sorts of stuff .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !

    Just a few things to think about. You want carb or injection , gen 1 or 2 alpha or a bravo setup ? Factor that into the year you are looking for. As nice as the bravo drives are , think about changing the impeller in a small space. Personally , the 350 mag mpi with a gen 2 alpha is a really nice set up. Just my opinion.
