21 Challenger/Shadow will spank anything in its size range. 22 Donzi is cooler looking and has brand recognition. 18 Powerplay is a helluva good boat too

Hard to beat the price to performance ratio of the 22' Velocity.

Default Interesting.

They are made very well, have a windshield that actually works and have a small cabin that's big enough to spend the night in. Several yrs back I picked up a big block 22P but sold it within a year as the small block version just seemed to work better.
Have always been a fan but no first hand experience w/one.
You just reinforced what I always thought. Used to be able to all but steal one too.
Particularly interesting comments about the small/big blocks too.

Yup. Same thing with the Shadow/Challengers. And Velocity and Challenger have won a lot more races in this size range than the others mentioned

What about a 03 Stingray 230sx with a 496 mag? I think it is the Z-plain hull.
