Great info!! It really fills in the blanks on the history of the '65.
I had a couple of Donzi's as a kid (16' sport outboard and an 18' 2+3 w/ Holman-Moody drive) back in the 70's. Loved my Donzi's. Graduated to 21' hulls designed by George Linder shortly thereafter (Shadow's) and started racing offshore in the early 80's. Later, I purchased and restored another Don Aronow original... a 28' Magnum. That was a hell of a project. Completely re-wired the entire instument panel, new gauges, new interior, new exterior paint, new Gimbals, new tabs and hydraulics, rebuilt TRS drives and a pair of small block Chevy engines with everything short of blowers. Ended up with an 80 mph boat that was reliable for about a month at a time!
Thanks again for the info on the 65'. What additions or changes have you made to your Donzi... and what would you suggest to look out for if somebody was in the market for a 65'?
