My wife and I plan on purchasing a boat when I return from my overseas deployment and both really like Donzi for a multitude of reasons. As I research them, I notice that there are some differences in hulls, years, etc... I am searching for some insight into the differences. We plan on spending around 50K for the boat, and of course, would like as new as possible. I almost bought a scarab last year, then found out about my deployment. Anyway, any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

This is a beautiful 26 that was owned by my friend Frank, he upgraded to a 33.

Best bang for the buck IMHO. Great ride, handles the rough water well for a boat this size.

If you want a good 75mph boat I think Frank's boat is a great deal for under 50k.

I love the 26's and 28's both. If I could have found a 28ZX twin step single for around the same price I paid for my 26, I would have purchased it. You can't go wrong with either.

Tom,

I just sent you an email. Thanks for the input.

That is Frank's email and that is even better.
