Default 24ft fountain vs 22ft donzi classic

I seen this CS fountain nice looking boat but how does it compare to a 22 classic in speed and handleing in the rough water. Which but would be faster with a stock 502. Jp.

I just sold my 24CS last weekend. it has a 20 degree deadrise so the bottom is pretty flat. the boat actually measures 24', 9". but the bottom is shorter due to the huge notch in the transom. It rode like crap in the rough stuff but was fast. my 502 mag would get me up to 75 mph all day long. the interior is very small and cramped because everything is push to the center to allow for the ledge that goes all the way around it. But it looks very fast and aggressive the way it sits in the water. the lines are timeless and it looks to be a much newer boat than it is. Less than 160 of these were made from 94'-97'. They came with every option available including hydraulic steering. Overall, it was a good solid boat with no issues the 4 yrs i had it. If you are on a calm lake, you will like it.
