The "Sea Deuce" 65 Donzi hull #4 - SOLD!

The "Sea Deuce" 65 Donzi hull #4 pics coming...

some pics

Winters at Sailfish Marina Palm Beach Shores and summers in NY. A bit of time in the Bahamas also. She's got 1500 HP non DDEC 16-92's. My owners are looking to move up in size, but that'll mean either a larger Donzi, or a much larger VIK/BERT/HAT. Nothing out there has the same upper deck space or a big salon other than a Force IX- which have a LOA a bit larger than we want to go. The Viking 68 is smaller on the second deck, and the 74 has about the same as a 65 Donzi. The other manufacturers give more stateroom space and less salon space, but the bigger upper deck, bigger salon and large cockpit are something my owner does not want to give up.

Most on the market now are around 9-1.3, but it is a buyers market. It's not listed with anyone, so if they decide to sell it and move up they could find the next one easily, and there wouldn't be a commission to pay to a middleman.
BTW this is the old "Libra" that Rosciolli has the story about on their web site. It was the first completed by R Rosciolli- I just visited them and sat down with Bob- he had two pics of the boat in his office- he's very proud of this one. He was glad to hear it's being kept up so well. The expansion of the yard is very nice, BTW.

more pics- sorry I do not know how to make them a bit smaller....

The fighting chair was removed, disassembled and completely stripped and varnished, with new cushions made.

The third set of controls is the trolling valves- so that you can leave the gears in forward but move slower than idle forward. I do like the non electronic controls- no 10 cent fuses to burn out and lose forward/reverse or go home in "limp home" mode.

I also just replaced two of the cockpit doors- as you can see one of them was losing it's paint, and another was close behind. They are now perfect, lol.

2 for 4 today ... lines in at 9:20. out at 2:15. Not quite "Donzi" conditions, but it did call for 15-20 all day and a SCA.

Here's a new site showing the "Sea Deuce" Lots more pics!

She just got a bottom job and "Sea Slide" -(google it), plus other scheduled maint. items. Hull got buffed- changed shaft packing, R&R raw water intake hose, remove & check prop balance... etc. Goes back in the water shortly!

Anything's possible, but I don't know that anyone wants to have two boats at a time. There are certainly alot of nice SF's out there that might fit the bill.

I like the 16-92's. Easy to find people to work on them, and have few electrical ghosts that newer engines have. We just put 16 new injectors in the STBD engine, and had the charge air coolers removed and cleaned. While I'll drive anything they buy, when I go up and down the coast I get alot of admiring looks from other captains and crew. The latest trip down the coast went off without a hitch.

New pics coming soon!

New led light under the radio box- 2 pics. Any color, changes quickly/slowly (or paused) continuously or fades out and then to the new color. Also below/under the forward seats to light up the bridge seating area not shown. New sinks in the master and stbd....

Stbd main full rebuild at Western Branch Diesel in Portsmouth, VA. New injectors, re-seal the turbo's, clean the intercoolers on the Port main. New macerator drain pump for the live well, new steering ram mounts, new master shower handle/head. New washer/dryer. New 110V fresh water pump. New life raft. The work never stops!
