Head room 38 & 42
#3
Probably around 5 ft 3 at the door. The Formula 382 I had was 5 ft 5 (maybe 5 ft 7???) and the one time I was in a 42 the cabin seemed a little smaller. Still a fast, good looking boat, just not "big".

Hopefully take a trip to Shogrens to check them out. No dealers in MI for any performance boats unless you want a Sunsation.
Thanks again,
Brent

I think of all the performance boats out there fountains have the least amount of cabin room.
Sonic or AT has a lot of room for their size. There is a nice Sonic 386 at Shogren.

Donzi's from what I remember are the smallest....For me if I pull the trigger to go bigger it's either gonna be 35 Outlaw or 38 Fountain. Maybe Formula, but it would have to be perfect.
There isn't any dealers around me so I really am trying to gather as much data as I can before I trek somewhere.

Guess it depends on what year you're looking at. Some of the early 2000s 33 and 38 Donzis are huge. "Thicker and wider"
When I had kids I went from Fountain to Baja for more room. My 8 and 4 year old girls get lost in the 342.

Ya I've been in a few Sonics I like the 30 but not a fan of the 386. I like the lines of a 35 Outlaw and the 38 Fountain much better. But I agree that Sonic at Shogrens does look nice and is big, just not my preference.
