Both are nice boats, but the Donzi is very tight to get into the cabin. I am 6'4", so I need some space
He's all but 5'7 1/2" with the right shoes on and I'm 5'6". We don't take up a whole lot of space...

Note: You must count half inches when you register at these heights...

I like both boats, but don't like the idea that the 38 Lightning is actually smaller that a 36 Outlaw. That adds a whole new twist. I do like the fact that Fountains are extremely fast though. Donzi much more pricey, but looks are killer.

Boat would be kept at LOTO 24mm, right.

I'm with ya on the Donzi, but $325K for this one at Big Blunder

Bob's not the cheapest guy on the block. I wonder how he affords 4 engine race boats...

I wonder what kind of $ would really take this boat home?

If I was shopping I'd make and offer on this georgeous and historic Top Gun. The 500th Cigarette... Great Power, Great Price. Join the club everyone want to belong to.
