The Wicked Donzi Project

"It's déjà vu all over again"

We found this special motor for the Biesemeyer that we decided to keep from one of our past resurrections.

Soon we will have a great 454ci already built and barrley broken in without a home and we have this Donzi Classic 18 without power.

Some things have to stay with the flat bottom drag boat that wont convert to an I/O. Those things will be replaced with the proper peices but there is a lot of things that are comming over to the Donzi that will really compliment this classic.

But while it's still cold out we are building the new motor for the Biese and gathering anything that will be needed so it will be a easy swap this spring freeing up the 454 for this new project.

"It's déjà vu all over again" We found this special motor for the Biesemeyer that we decided to keep from one of our past resurrections. What's that got to do with this Donzi? Soon we will have a great 454ci already built and barrley broken in without a home and we have this Donzi Classic 18 without power. Sounds like a match made in heaven. Some things have to stay with the flat bottom drag boat that wont convert to an I/O. Those things will be replaced with the proper peices but there is a lot of things that are comming over to the Donzi that will really compliment this classic. The plan is, a top off resurrection. But while it's still cold out we are building the new motor for the Biese and gathering anything that will be needed so it will be a easy swap this spring freeing up the 454 for this new project.
