For performance boats we went from Donzi 22 Classic Blackhawk Limited edition to Formula 382 to Donzi 43 ZR. Still have all 3 and all are completely different animals.

Last year I went from an 8' Achilles raft with a 6hp to 28 Velocity, from 17mph to 70mph lol. I had to buy a bigger truck just to tow the boat. The Achilles is easier to maneuver around the dock and much easier on the wallet.

29 Kryptonite (27' running surface) to my 38' Donzi

Biggest difference was going from a single to twins.
It's so much better with twins!

Yes it does because the jet ski not only floats but also has an engine, and of course steering as well. We all start out somewhere.

Almost 10, went from 25 ol to 33 ol.. we love the 33 and i did find a deal on a 35 ol but a 33 was already pushing my limits for storage. Kept measuring several times.. lol
Not really much difference in handling larger boat and really doesn't feel that much bigger around docks, but so much better in rough and enough room to walk around ppl in cockpit!

I started with an 18 foot deck boat with a 90 horse outboard. 5 boats later I went from a 32 Sunsation to their 43. Then back to a 35 Formula. Now building a 34 NorTech CC, and I am back to outboards.
