Ford power

Just curious which years and models the Donzi's had ford power? I know about the black widows but not sure what else they are in?

Re: Ford power

The early and most desireable classics had Holman Moody packages in them that were Ford based , These boats precede the 'OMC boats by about 25 years.
Coupled to Volvo 200-250-270 drives they are the original 'Ford' Donzis and VERY sought after.

I had the exact same boat! Mine was yellow w/black stripe. Brownie told me it was built for the Secret Service to chase President Johnson around Lake LBJ. Sold it to a guy from Long Island 6 or 7 years ago.
