---------My short list of great 25 and downers would be the discontinued 24 foot DONZI in any one of its four deck styles. Beamy with good flair at the bow and a Harry Schoel (sp) designed 24 degree hull add up to a 24 that can do just about anything you want it to do. They were built like battleships and other than transom rot have very few problems. Wish they were still made. Heard that there is a pop out there but Id like the DONZI name on the title.......Bill S

Ya so what wasn't splashed from something.(except A.T. 37/33/43) I know the boats and it would be alot easier and cheaper to find a very nice 25 A.T. than to restore a 24 Cig and the Thunder has more freeboard. He asked and I answered IMHO and experiance.:ernaehrung004:

The thunders are nice boats. It was meant as compliment. The banana and others used the cig too.

24 Skater, I know you said V's only, but you wanted to know what the best is.

Yep!!

Had a buddy with a 1974 24 foot Donzi Doral with twin sbcs and volvo 270 drives.
Great 24 footer.
