That Donzi is Sweet but it is not the Hornet model it is the 18-2+3. Also if it is a 69 it has to be one of the early non barrel back models . Cool boat all the same.

On a 68/69 they don't have numbers. My 1976 18 2X3 (which looks the same as yours) it's on the transom below the rub-rail on the starboard side

If it has the original engine and/or V drive we can probably ID it by the serial numbers off of those.

Check behind the dash, and under the front deck also, the numbers were often written there during production. Very cool ride, and sitting on the original Rocket/Donzi trailer to boot!

Hard to tell, Burgundy? If so, V drive should be # 6511.
