good luck on the project, the 24 Donzi was made in 4 versions
the doral, the spitfire , the spirit and the el pescador same hull different deck treatments, the boat has the option up grade with the fiberglass moulded bucket seats
the 24 hull was a great riding hull very heavy and would handle and ride rough water very well but that works against speed as an example a twin sbc with volvos with say 600 hp 300 each side would be a low 50's mph boat I am not a guru on OB's but I would think loosing some of that weight of motors and drives will help , also the boat likes trim the older volvos didn't have that so another plus for the OB
if you go to donzi.net try to get a hold of ol' red alert he has a beautiful restored el pescador ( cc fishing model) and a spitfire the more Classic style 2+3 he just picked up
he can tell you alot about that hull
do you have a hull number?
here is a sales flyer

I have a 78 Sonic 24' based on the Donzi hull Spirit. It has no power but came with twin olds 403s and Berkeley jets. Going to repower with 350 strikers and predator carbs. Need info on front motor mount type/ layout type.

Won't allow me to post attachments. I'll keep the Berkeleys they are the top cable control type. They are mounted in angled Berkeley suction housings. Nice neat install package. Boat looks so like blue Donzi Spirit in thread.
