Of course I do have to sort of agree with Johnny here. And I've had my butt battered by all sorts of Checkmates, Hydrostreams, Switzers, etc. over the years Hell, I used to be 6' 3" when I was younger. Now I'm only 6' 1" !

Ive run em all lol. 22 Donzis (ZX and Classic), 22 Velocities(great boat!), the ONLY one Id ever own after my Challenger (still the best) is a 22 Progression or a 23 Krypto with twins. This is of course excluding 24 foot boats.

One of my buddies has a magnum his roommate has a formula and i have an Avanti all similar in size, we hang out twice a week, and from the post i have read it sounds very similar to our boat War talks on which boat rides better goes faster made better! :gfight:
Glad were not the only ones!

I dont doubt that the 22zx has a decent ride but to say it will ride better than ANY 25 foot boat is a stretch. A Powerquest 257 Legend has more weight, more transom deadrise, more freeboard than your Donzi and was OUTSTANDING in the rough stuff--2-3 footers were no problem. Granted its 25'7" but close enough. To say it will ride better than any 25 foot boat is a biased statement without any real merit.

Aren't most of us a little biased? 2-3 footers are no problem for a well set up Donzi 22 Classic either. In fact they are a lot of fun.

The bigger singles regardless of the brand seem to always be slower, I blow by them all the time an never get any action in any kind of water, guess there unsure of what your packing .....

Donzi drivers just seem to be more aggressive anyway than most, guess its the heritage of pushing the envelope that scares people off ......
It's all good .....lol..
