One of the first Bravo 1 drives, hence the name Bravo One painted on the side, so early it had an Alpha coupler and bell housing.
Both have been upgraded with Merc HP parts.

That’s about exactly where I was going....the Donzi Classic (depending on your budget....I think my first house cost less than some of these). But when I was a kid my family had a friend with one. I was too young to remember if it was a 16’ or an 18’...I recall it being powered by a 350 small block and as a 12 year old being a blast to ride in with an ‘80’s “rich kid” at the helm.

To be honest...there are so many beautiful lines from those days...personally I’m a sucker for the Chris Craft Stinger but don’t know that they made anything that small that was fun and worth the coin.
