Wanted : Make or model on this boat

[CastorTroy]

Hi - I saw this boat on the Grand Canal in Venice last spring and took some snapshot of it. Looks really Classic and cool but what is it?? Any ideas very welcome

Not unlike a donzi 22 classic. Not sure about the platform or the lifting strakes at now though. If it is a genuine one they are worth a fortune now.

It reminds me of an ex-boat of mine, a Formula 233 of the late 70’s. Timeless shape and always attracts the looks!!! Don’t look at the back side though! It was c customised and turned to a tender (Vandutch style

Not sure but I’ve seen plenty in Venice , very similar hull and lines of the generic water taxis. One features in the dreadful American remake of the Italian job, in fact it’s the only bit of the film worth watching.

Thx for input! Still searching for it and it might be an early Bruno Abbate Primatist 23 or Airon Marine 23. All of them made in Italy but Im still not 100% sure. Will look into the remake and see what boat they are using!

R400 you nailed it! Its a Dalla Pieta DP6. Local manufacturer in Venice! Finally I can get some sleep
