Donzi 2+3 BARRELBACK

VERY RARE ( barn find )

1969 Donzi 18 Barrelback 2+3

302 Ford with Volvo penta outdrive in good running order

very rare color - INCA GOLD so I am told

This boat had been in storage for many years I recently purchased it from the grand son of second owner that had attempted to get it up and running but failed

He had already replaced

Carb, Starter,Alternator, Complete rebuilt impellor pump, new electronic ignition system,outdrivebellow, fuel tank and new trailer axle with tires and wheels

but was unable toget the boat running properly

When I found it

I had to rebuild the carb and properlyproperly set the timing and the boat ran great

I have since replace all the gauges and properly rewire the boat so it would charge properly and the running lights would work

I have instaiiled a new stereo system with speakers

I replace thefront barrel seats-waiting for to have new rear snap in cushions to be made (I have originalrear seats for templets)

the cockpit cover is also missing I am currently waiting to get is the canvas shop to have all made they are to busy currently and will be able to start until middle ofOctober

The Hull is in great shape the transom is rock solid there are 2 scratches on the bottom from the trailer 1 has been poorly repaired the other is minor

Currently the only problems are

The outdrive reverse lock out springs were missing and the springs I found at the hardware store work but do not seem to be strong enough sometimes whenyou put in reverse the outdrive will lift out of the water

I am having a hard time finding agood left hand rotation propeller the one that on the boat is beat up pretty good

The engine hatch and battery box cover the gel coat is cracking bad but that is an easy fix I added a picture of it

there are misc nicks and scratches but not bad and the aluminum rub rail is all scratched up

This would be a great hull to do a complete restoration and repower on this boat has great potentional

The trailer is very heavy duty but the axle installed does not have brakes and could used some taillight work but is in road worthy condition and I would drag it anywhere

I am currently using the boat every week end and having a blast

I was think of doing the total restoration but I want a harbor toy that I can leave floating in the slip and this boat is just to nice to use for that

I HAVE TITLE FOR BOTH TRAILER AND BOAT IN MY HAND

any questions give me a call phone

The $5000.00 buy it now price is what I feel the boat is worth but the reserve is set considerably lower

who ever win this auction is getting a great piece of history
