Thank you for the update/information. Keith Atlanta, in the previous post hit it on the head with the observation of someone flying out of the boat as it fell, I saw the same image. That is definitely not good. A broken ankle sucks, fortunate it was no one was nearly killed.

I like the looks of that Donzi (pre-wave jump). If there were a glass guy on OSO who has examined this boat first hand and would be forthcoming as to repairability, the cost to repair, the reputational issue even if repaired that a new owner owns a boat that fell off of a wave a broke and was repaired and the issues surrounding that alone. Let's say it is fixable, to make it structurally safe, how much would that cost? To make it cosmetically whole, how much for paint, glass, ect. And piece of mind, if I were the new owner of this Donzi running 85+ mph, if I flew off a wave and I buried the bow into the wave/water, not out of the ordinary, just an average wave, knowing my bow won't implode; the confidence that the boat is strong or stronger than before it left the factory. How much for that piece of mind?


I like this boat, however I don't possess the skill to fix it, nor would I want to spend $25K or more to fix a boat that is known for such a feat. But everyone has a trigger point when the price is right, I think it will sell, and it will be fully repaired, and it will be out on the water one day. Maybe I am an optimist. A guy with glass experience, this could be a dream boat at a negotiated fair purchase price.

I just find this story intriguing.

Keith, I hit the like button for your post in regards to providing an update on the topic, I did not want you to think I was a callous bastard that hit the like button because someone broke an ankle.

Thanks

If I had F. U. money, I’d buy it, toss some power in it, and run it “as-is”, and wait for it to fall apart. As a sort of experiment. For SCIENCE. But I’m not that bright. Ergo, no F.U. money, either.

The ad is unclear, does that $50,900 asking price include motors, drives, props, ? If included, what is the power, drives, props (Herrings, Maximus, Bravos) If the power and drives are not included, as it sits $10K is what I was thinking, seriously, so for the seller to be insulted by anything less than $50,900 is ridiculous. As Rak Rua said too many skeletons.

Sorry to hear about to hear about the unpleasant experience in attempting to inquire about the boat.

Smarty

If it is de-rigged, my guess is $10K, the trailer is worth more than the damaged boat.

So some dumb sh!t at our marina bought this gem.
