Donzi 275 LXC

1999 Donzi Z 275 LXC The boat is a 29 foot Donzi inboard/outboard with a 7.4l 454 MerCruiser V8, counter-rotating propeller. The boat is in overall excellent condition. It was a one owner boat since 1999 in the Chicago Harbor (prior registration paperwork indicated it was owned by an older gentleman who lived next to Oprah in WaterTower place in Chicago). We purchased the boat in July, 2015 and recently found out that we are moving out west, to the desert, which is the reason for us selling. We've very much enjoyed the boat and it has been an excellent runner. Before we purchased the boat, an engine tune up was done, with a new distributor cap, wires, water pump and pulley. The boat starts on the first crank and has never let us down. 2 weeks ago we cruised from Racine, WI throughout Door County for a week without incident. We justreturned from a weekend inChicago- the boat continuallyperformed like achampion! In addition to the all the factory equipment working perfectly, the boat also has a Kicker Comp 10" subwoofer with a 680 watt amp for listening pleasure. The boat cruises between 25 - 35 mph between 3000 - 3500 rpm. Overall, the boat burns between 12.5 - 22 gallons per hour, depending on speed/rpm.

Please see thefollowing youtube video I quickly madeshowing the details of the boat and a testcruise. The boat had a full tank of water and 3/4 gas at the time of the test with 2 people on board. The wind was light, but there were gentle rollers on Lake Michigan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD61nicVk9k

Details about the boat: The boat has a full cockpit enclosure 103 gallon fuel tank 30 gallon fresh water tank 7 gallon hot water tank (works well) All plumbing works well Automatic marine toilet and 30 gallon holding tank All carpet and upholstery in good condition, except for the rear seat, which has a minor hole/tear in a corner. Boat was buffed/detailed in July, 2015 Trim tabs work well Trim on outboard motor works well 454 V8 drives like a champ and will drive the boat in the mid 40's at wide open throttle The GPS / Fish finder is dated, but works fine Boat had new bottom paint in July, 2015 The boat does not have an hour meter (which was strangely an option...) When I inquired with the original owner, apparently he plugged the motor into a machine which can read hours (?) and he recalled the hour meter reading between 300-400 hours. It appears the boat has had minimal use and is in overall excellent condition. We are continually using the boat since the weather is still cooperating! Please email, call, or text with questions, to make an offer, or test drive the boat.

The boat does NOT have a trailer. I cannot ship the boat personally, but will be happy to accommodate any shipping arrangements you need. There is a public launch on the opposite side from where the boat is currently docked. The boat is currently in a slip in Racine, Wisconsin, and will continue being used. The boat has always been a fresh water boat.
