I cannot speak to what adding a cabin would do to the balance of the boat but space sure is not an issue. It is huge under there.

It should be ready soon. I hope to run it in the FPC St. Pete Poker Run. She will be used mostly in Tampa Bay and the nearby Gulf area. Cannot wait!

Thanks. And you are right! NT is simply the best! They did me a huge favor and now I owe them big time.

Looks awesome BIG Daddy congratz, need more pics

Here is a pic of the Donzi I picked up last summer

Congrats Mike A! I love mine and you beat me to making it a silver sided.... back to the design drawing board. Just for an idea if you have a flat floor under the deck hatches, I mounted a porta-potti under the port hatch for those emergency situations. I have two large rubber maid bins for storing my stuff that I bungee down and everything stays where it should.
There was one boat built with a 1/4 cabin (facing loveseats) but there is very little headroom. Using the porta-potti requires leaving the hatch up, sorry for the hand gesture it was a long idle back....at least we had plenty of breakdown beer and a place to put it!

Hey Tom,

I met you at the Sarasota Poker Run when I think yours was delivered. I was 1 slip over in your pic. Hope she is still running strong!

Just a V-berth and head would be nice for overnighting and wouldn't add much weight.

Hey Mark,

Good to hear from you. She is my pride and joy. Yes, that was the weekend I picked her up from Donzi. It was their in house boat. It is a 2003 but I am the first registered owner. Other than blowing both motors in June 2008, everything was great. The former people at Donzi fed me a line a B.S. about fresh motors. Everything else was great and the boat has all the 2007 updates.
She runs like a raped ape since Ron Potter built the 575's up to 700's!
