The guy that owns the lot in front of the water tower house in Sunset beach has one just like this one but it has bottom paint and not as clean. He's asking 11,500. Has had it up for a year.

If i were to buy this boat and place it in my family room and look at it everyday would be fine with me.

it's that nice...found something wrong though.... who ever mounted the tabs has/had the mounting plate lower than the bottom of the boat..
also the rams in the up position still hang the tabs below the bottom...

so I've taking it all apart and moving every thing.....should make a huge differance in how it rides and performs...

Donzi Powerboats
Classic 16

Arguably the most recognizable fiberglass boat ever created, Donzi?s 16 Classic boasts a pedigree like none other. Don Aronow launched his first Donzi ?Sweet 16? in early 1964, inspiring an industry and creating a worldwide fan base that spans generations and continues to grow.

From the rakish, low-slung looks to the ?tuck & roll? upholstery, Donzi has kept all the details true to the original blueprint. With classic lines and inimitable styling cues, with one glance everyone knows she?s a Donzi. Yet, don?t be fooled ? great looks are only half of the story. With its unique combination of vintage hull design paired with ample power, today?s 16 Classic offers white-knuckle thrills and a high-speed ride like nothing else on the water!

Looks carbed to me. You can see the fuel line and wires for the choke.

like I said ,don't be afraid to make an offer, I'd rather give it away to a board member...
I wanna get down to just one boat again... and as it sets it would be a grave injustice to leave the schiada home to take the donzi...

and that means that the hallett never gets to the lake... its a fuc'n mess

Guys.....just to be clear I "Bleed Schiada Blue" !!! I've owned 2 - 10'ers and the first ever 12'er and of course this Donzi in question and can say unequicovally that this Donzi is head ansd shoulders ahead of either of the Mini Schiadas:thumbsup


Now I am likely one of very few people that has as much real world experience in ALL these boats and gotta say for once Paul (OD1).....you are dead wrong:p


If I had the room for both I would have kept both....or even buy the Donzi back......It gets more looks than any vehicle (Car/Boat/Motorcycle) that I have ever owned......and I've owned some cool stuff through the years...........just Sayin'

You're not really comparing a 10' boat with a 40hp motor to this are you? Lol.

Btw, I'm pretty sure you traded it for a full size Schiada. ;)

Maybe you missed the first part of my thread where I said "I Bleed Schiada Blue":bash:

Everybody here knows I traded the Donzi (Mini albeit 16') for a full sized Schiada....that more clearly met my needs....even better than the 20'er we were talking about a couple of weeks ago.....when I told you I was thinking about that RT.

That being said the Donzi will run rings around any 10 or 12' Schiada ever built.......and I'm probably the only one on these boards that has serious time in all of the boats in question.........that was my point:rolleyes.........now if you start comparing this boat to a 20 or 21' Schiada then you're talking a whole different ballgame!!:bowdown:
