I have a 92 Donzi Sweet 16 that has no engine or drive but the Cobra transom plate is still there. The boat was equipped with a OMC Cobra 5.0 (302 Ford) I also have a 1994 Lawson 19' with Volvo Penta 5.0 and SX drive.
I will remove engine/drive and whatever from the Lawson and put it in the Donzi then scrap the Lawson.
Glancing at the transom units it seems the OMC and Penta are the same other then the top cover emblem. The trim cylinders also look the same. ARE THEY?? are the castings the same? if they are I would like to just leave the OMC in the Donzi since it is beautifully custom painted and flawless, the Donzi is truly a custom beauty that won many shows. I would then paint the SX drive to match. I would install the Penta top cover and store the plate.
