Donzi Classic 18 2+3

Presented is a Classic Donzi 18 foot 2+3. It is sound, and 100% functional. It has undergone some substantial upgrades:1. New lighted Gauges and Marine Switch Panel Wiring - glossy and a great addition to update the boat to modern gauge-pack2. New Dash panel to match the paint stripe - Donzi Red stripe in a lexan dash to match paint scheme3. Dual Batteries and a stereo that is unbelievable - DUAL batteries were moved to the engine compartment and are on a switch that allows to shut off, battery 1, battery 2, or both. This allows you to run a stereo or lights anchored and be sure you have power to start the boat should you want to be anchored and not have to continually start the engine to charge the engine battery4. Upholstery work that is truly one-off - The upholstery in this boat is truly one-off! If you have friends or family who want to go - they will fall in love with the functionality of this Donzi One-Off boat. a. The whole deck has its own dedicated sun-pad and can easily fit two to three adults! The bolster that is a wind deflector at speed also serves as a pillow for laying out and enjoying the sun - this addition makes this Donzi capable of taking out 5 adults and having plenty of room to lounge and enjoy the day. b. The seats swivel, not a standard option, and also can be removed and installed without any tools - and being able to turn them around at anchor or with a skier is ideal. c. The wrap around rear sofa seat cushion is not as you'll see in other DONZI Classic 18's either. It has been replaced with a 3 piece cushion because the center cushion flips forwad revealing a huge ice cooler under the pad. This is a fantastic feature on a boat that never had the option of a built in cooler. d. The rear pleated engine cover pad is also unique and a real necessity when going over the transom for a swim. It's also a great place to sit while cruising a low speed for the passengers in the back, and a favorite place to hang out with friends who are floating or swimming. e. As part of the upholstery project the snap in carpet was also replaced5. New ignition system and water jacket exhaust manifolds6. New bilge pump7. New (not rebuilt) out-drive with Quicksilver Stainless cleaver prop8. New tires (not a big deal until you want to go somewhere)9. New sealed LED trailer tail-lights10. Interior lighting - Blue Interior LED lights are great at anchor and enjoying the music.11. Stereo - This boat has a top of the line sound system! Kenwood, Polk, and JBL all in one system that is installed on a dedicated panel behind the rear seat in the engine compartment, complete with AMPS and a digital capacitor that helps preserve the batteries. It features 6 main speakers in the cockpit area, and a 10" sub up in the nose of the boat. It is water proof, and you can open the deck and charge your phone while using it to play Pandora or ipod - on android or an iphone. The boat also was outfitted with a charge unit so that you can use a blower for rafts, charge a phone, or whatever you need to energize.The owner is meticulous, and upon an annual inspection made the decision to replace the Alpha One out-drive in June of 2014. The new unit has a 3 year MFR warranty. It is NEW, not rebuilt, was not simply and upper and lower unit but a full out-drive swap, and has already gone through several runs to confirm it is operationally correct. Trim tabs were also checked and perform flawlessly, and are essential in a power boat to balance the ride for conditionsThe owner of this boat knows that in an 18 foot boat runabout, you need to take advantage of every opportunity to show guest and family a great time, which is why this boat is far more functional in every way than a standard Donzi 18. It is truly one-off. He is moving up, and it creates an opportunity for somebody new to enjoy it. Happy bidding!On Aug-22-14 at 15:25:05 PDT, seller added the following information:

It's important to note that this is a fresh water boat. The engine uses the water it runs in to cool the motor. It runs through the outdrive into and through the engine and out through the exhaust system. This is a fresh water boat and does not have the same corrosion as a salt boat. I've been asked by a few people and thought that should be clarified.
