![]() George Hazzard likes to keep his boat restoration work as close to original as possible while still meeting a boat owner’s needs for a functional show piece. Wooden Boat Restoration llc is restoring the boat with some new mahogany ribs and a cedar wood chine as well as “as original” cedar wood planked bottom. She is still owned by the original family. This is a 1946 model Canada built Greavette 20 foot classic wooden boat. New cedar wood bottom planking on 1946 Greavette Boat ltd A rare boat then and it is a rare boat now. Here came Astronauts Gus Grissom, Gordon Cooper, Fireman Red Adair, and Dick Genth in a Donzi race boat on the various race courses. The boats were shown in clothing showrooms on 5 th Avenue in Manhattan in New York. Think Don Aronow, JakeTrotter, Jim Wynne, Walt Walters, Allan “Brownie” Brown, and Dick Cole. From their race success the Donzi Boats were called the “Damned Donzis”.ġ965 brought the 28’ Broad Jumper, Donzi Diesel and other famous boats and names. Later boat came with V-6 and V-8 engines. They were 43-46 mph boats that turned on a dime and rode soft, because of their deep vee bottom shape. These boats were powered by a Volvo 110 horsepower 4 cylinder engine with a Eaton Outdrive. His first model was the Ski Sportster called the Sweet 16 model. outboards are out there for 2013.ĭonzi Marine was started by Don Aronow in 1964. Seabuddy has been told that only up to 25 Hp. Higher horsepower outboards in a short shaft length are getting harder to find. Outboard, inboard, v-drive, stern drive, and jet, are the various ways to go for these boats. Donzi Boats and Glaspar G-3 boats and Glastron GT 150 boats are right there for me as fun boats. Small, performance boats have a special place in my heart. That material grade is more expensive, but to seabuddy it is worth it. Lyman boats was also known for its use of ribbon striped (sometimes called tiger striped) mahogany veneered marine-grade plywood. Lyman mahogany filler stain with varnish over would be the proper choice. Here the seats, deck and other parts show, to me, the correct, or “as built”, finishes. Many Lyman owners prefer the gloss finish, so she should be easy to be sold if one wanted to so in the future. The natural wood stains and varnishes look spot on. This boat seems to have gloss rather than a semi-gloss white painted hull sides on its clinker built outboard. The next size up in the Lyman outboard powered line-up was the 18’ where most would choose twin 35-40 horsepower engines, which adds complication in systems, controls, and over-the-road towing weight. Go smaller, to the 16 1/2 foot outboard Lyman and one is limited to a 60 horsepower engine. This is Seabuddy’s favorite Lyman model for its balance of easy trailering, roomy cockpit, and plenty of power. Nice restored wood Lyman outboard powered boat With that boat he then went out and set eight world class marathon power boat racing records with it. Wynne then, himself, designed a 17’ boat named Wyn-Mill II. He first had had Ray Hunt design him a 17’ boat. Much of that design was adopted from Jim’s Wyn-Mill II race boat that also was powered by a Volvo car engine. It became a viable, small production Miami boat builder. Jim Wynne, Brownie, and others were involved in the 110 Hp 4 cylinder powered 16. It was 1964 when Don Aronow made his first production Donzi Marine recreational boat. Names that come to mind for this era of offshore boat racing are Jim Martenhoff, Odell Lewis, Pete Rittmaster, Forest Johnson, Jacoby, Brownie Allan Brown, Bill Wishnick, Red Crise, Sam Griffith, and Carl Kiekhaefer. He liked rough, open-water offshore powerboat racing and built a boat company to build a winning boat. : window.attachEvent & window.In the early 1960s an office, shopping center, and apartment builder / developer from New Jersey started a boutique boat building company.
