    I had a '79 for 10 years. I replaced the transom and the stringers in the engine compartment. The rest were gone by the time I got rid of it. The woven roving covering the stringers and transom was so coarse that there were pin holes in the fabric. It had to start soaking up water from the first moment it was rolled outside and it rained. The transom was not laid or sprayed in place. It had an inner mold glassed in and there where large voids between it and the wood core of the transom. It had to have been holding a lot of water. After cutting the inner fiberglass away, the majority of the transom came out in handfulls like mulch.

    Of course, there's a slight chance it may be because I'm looking at another one......

    30 years old this year
    Here's my 1982 Chris Craft Stinger 260. For its 30th birthday I pulled out the twin 350's and replaced them with a single BBC 502. Made the cuddy more usable (pulled the fridge, sink and water tank out) and some of the cockpit was also revamped...

    Here is my 1974 24' Donzi Doral that I just finished restoring. It's had a long hard life from most likley the Donzi cover boat, to race boat and back to pleasure boat that was left in a field. I did not break the bank restoring her just making it nice & usable. It even has it's original interior.

    Outstanding. Any idea how many of those are still around? I cannot recall ever seeing another one with that setup....

    Back in 1974 Donzi built several models with this 24' hull, I believe only a handfull of Dorals were built. Donzi back then were trying to build 24' boats with interchangeable deck & interliners. This type of system did not work to well hence there are not many of these Donzi's still around. Here are some info on the other models.
