h2oboater...........now that is a rare pic! I remember that boat as a little kid. That pic was taken in the rocky river CYC. There was another one where Sandy docked that one called Zeffie ll. I always loved those damn boats!

22 Donzi classic, easy. No question. Best fast rough water ride you'll find at 22 ft. Best bang for the buck on going fast and playing in waves (if your even considering one, I assume your not looking for a cabin or ammenities!).

The length to width ratio is correct for rough water, and very steep bow entry keeps ride smooth. Easy and cheap to attain mild 500hp BB and any 'ole bravo drive gets you into the 80's with no worries on drive failures, no expensive props, or exhaust systems, etc - heck, even the old TRS drive holds up to all punishment in them. I have been riding in (and occasionally "piloting") them for 20 years -- still love 'em!!

The very rare F-22 classic pictured here..........

A buddy of mine, Mark Haynes. I'm pretty sure he is not on this site.
Don't know hull #. It's a '79 if I remember correctly, originally was a Gale Banks twin turbo setup (wouldn't fit under standard classic deck, almost like F-22 deck was built for that purpose?) but the salt water was too hard on 'em, and he got tired of rebuilding them, so he went to a little 174 blower. Mid 80's with recent Bravo drive conversion.

the F 22's and the Criterion's shared the same rear deck design... if you can get a hull number we are trying to document some ownership history on the early 22's...

Since you put it that way, I'm gonna have to get some info. I know he knows about the Donzi site, but he's not a big conversationalist online I guess.....I'll at least get the hull number from the boat...........and tell him to check in - I know I would have by now if I was him. has had the boat for 8 - 10 years maybe. The boat was out of Pasadena MD (Baltimore area), - was named "Lean and Mean" in huge 12 inch lettering down side of boat........He now refers to it as the Voodoo Canoe.....
