Broker's Comments

The whole image of this vessel shouts speed. Low and sleek, padded cockpit seats, a mighty V8 behind you. All weather cover over the cockpit and a speedometer that shows a max of 60mph.

You'll hear this boat before you see her - she sounds amazing! And I really think she could be a fabulous, exclusive super yacht tender, somewhere very glamorous!

*** Trailer included ***

Built early 1968 and one of the original 3 boat line up when Donzi started building boats in Miami - 1964.

This Hornet - hull number 37 - was built as a bench seat model, but in late 1968, the factory had decided to make a 2+3 version so the bench seat deck was removed and she became the first Donzi Hornet 2+3.

She still has her original Holman Moody 351 Ford Windsor engine and Volvo Penta 250 drive, and the boat is 95% original, according to her owner.

The Tetradock may be purchased for £1500.
