Boat Description

Introducing a 1996 Donzi Sweet 16, a legendary 16-foot fiberglass stern-drive performance boat celebrated for its sharp handling and impressive speeds on calm waters. This model features an upgraded GM 350 Ramjet EFI engine, delivering an exhilarating driving experience with speeds reaching 70 MPH, thanks to the current 23P 3-blade prop. It comes equipped with trim tabs for enhanced control. With low hours on the engine upgrade completed in 2023, this boat is ready for action. For added convenience, it features a Hot Foot throttle and foot-operated EZ Trim, allowing for effortless control of both throttle and trim while keeping your hands on the wheel—perfect for a performance enthusiast. *Please note: the Hot-Foot throttle is prepared for connection but not currently hooked up. The boat is in excellent condition for its age, having been meticulously maintained. The gelcoat and paint are clean, and the interior features a stylish white design with red piping, including driver and passenger bucket seats along with a rear bench seat. It also has removable cockpit carpet and comes with a snap-on cockpit cover. Under the hood, the Chevrolet Performance Ram Jet 350 is a 350-cubic-inch small-block V8 crate engine that combines classic port fuel injection with modern electronic engine management, producing 351 hp at 5,200 RPM and 403 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 RPM. It requires 91 to 92 octane premium fuel and features durable cast iron block material with Vortec cast iron cylinder heads. Recent maintenance includes a new fuel filter, engine and drive oil changes, flushed trim fluid, a fresh seawater impeller, trim solenoids, and a new battery. The engine was installed in 2023 alongside updates to the alternator, starter, bellows, gimbal bearing, engine coupler, MSD fuel pump, fuel pickup tube, fuel hoses, and shift cable assembly. This package also includes a Trailmaster single axle trailer with aluminum wheels and a matching spare, with bearings replaced in 2023 and greased this season. On sale for $19,995, this stunning boat is available at our Lake in the Hills, IL showroom. Call 847-458-6488 for appointments and more details.
