This is a numbers matching original 1972 Donzi 18 with 323 hours on the hour gauge. I've owned the boat for 2 seasons after it sat covered for several years. The gelcoat is 45 year old original gelcoat. It could use a good wet sanding and wax but I never did it because It's not one of my strong points. Someone prior to my ownership burned through the racing stripe on a few spots. The interior and seats are in amazing shape. Not sure if they are original to the boat or replacements but they are correct if they are not original to the boat. There are gel coat cracks here and there on the boat but you would expect that for its age. There are a few gelcoat cracksin the transom around the drive but the transom and stringers are 100% solid. Feel free to bring a pick and poke around. I will gladly send more pictures or videos to anyone interested in the boat.Factory Ford 302 with a Mercruiser #1 drive with hydraulic trim. This was not a common set up for this boat but everything in the boat is period correct with no cut or filled holes to be found. The gauge cluster is Mercruiser anddifferent from anyone I've seen in a Donzi but the cut in the dash is for this cluster and you can clearly see it's never been filled in or made bigger. It's also dated "72" on the back. The boat is 100 percent water ready and has had a great amount of money and work put into it this season. It's been used every weekend with no issues. This is an amazing part of power boat history and one of the most fun speed boats you can find. It runs 52-53 @ 4400 rpms and could use a little bigger prop. It currently has a 15/19 on it.
