I am interested in your Donzi but how is anyone supposed to make a decision on the boat when they can't even drive it? Why aren't the outdrives installed?

So what you are saying is with the many hours we have in on the jet Ski and I still need to take you back to eat, we could do this? Then again I need to know a price on those also. Send me the link.

about $2500 for each motor. That Donzi has twin big blocks. LINK

That Donzi looks absolutely like a boat that used to be on Pickwick Lake in TN. Color scheme and everything. That boat was a 86-88 model and absolutely had the hell run out of it.
You didn't say what you were looking to spend but if it were me I'd look for a 31' Fountain. There were a bunch of those made, you should be able to find one for pretty cheap. My FIL had one in his storage building for about 3yrs that he was storing for a local bank. It may still be in there, not sure.
The two reasons for the 31 is it's just a bigger boat and it has twin engines. 31 should have 502s in it.

I would freakin' RUN from any Donzi, particularly the smaller ones. I have been around quite a few of them, and have yet to see one that I would want to own/maintain. Fountain and Cigarette are two of the best IMO and you should probably look at Formula also. Just my opinion, but an older Formula Sunsport is a lot more versatile/practical but still plenty fast for the thrill seeker in you.
Good luck
