There are a lot of good hulls out there,that being said i bought a 2004 donzi 38zrc last year and i can honestly say it is one of the best handling and performing boat v-boat i have ever driving,i have owned a lot of boats over the years and have driven almost all of them ,been in the hp boat business for over 20years.I like the staggered set-up and the 2003-2004 hulls are priced very reasonable,priced about the same as the gladiators,only problem not many built and not a lot for sale
How is it getting behind the wheel? Powerboat mag said it's very tight, but I think their problem was Teague's fat belly.

I hope somebody steps up and makes it happen with somebody's big power, but the turbo motors just make so much sense in terms of efficiency and longevity. Tommy says he's solved the lag problem too, plus he's a lot cheaper than the new Merc turbomotors.

The new Vector 40 is different, I'll admitt . But, it is one odd looking boat bordering on ugly and probably would be one very tough boat to resell. And, I think that the individual who started this thread is looking to conserve $$ and is looking for used or something priced reasonably.

I am surprised though at the molded swim platform...

Here are a few shots of a 399 Skater V that I rigged and built the power for. It's been 142 so far, with quite a bit left. That's as fast as the customer felt comfortable running it.

I don't agree on the "ugly" statement, but beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder. Mannerfelt has some phenominal designs...and more than just interesting to look at they truly offer performance.

No doubt the 40 Vector isn't in the price range the poster is looking for, but...based on my history, I had to choose the Vector. Quality, fit and finish is off the hook and while I agree resale might be an issue...it can't be anymore difficult than the original sale!!
