Getting back to the OP's question, let me throw another variable into the mix - when the boat was built. I've seen many, many brand new Fountains in my time and most of them were pretty well built. I haven't seen as many Donzis, but again, most of them were pretty well built.
On the other hand, I've seen a number of boats from both brands that (and I'm a Mechanical Engineer) were absolutely appalling. We're talking sloppy wiring, poorly sewn upholstery and poor fitting / assembly issues. (One can only wonder about layup.) The difference? I'd chalk it up to when the individual boats were built. The worst ones I saw were rushed through production during busy season. The best ones were built in the fall / winter. Oh, and both brands were pretty good at sending only the good stuff to Powerboat Magazine. Just my 2 cents. |

I have an 05 42 staggered Ex that goes 83 easily and 85 light with labbed Maximus props. My friends 07 33 Donzi hasn't held up half as well and just got through replacing broken motor mounts after jumping a ship's wake. Besides the girls like Fountains better.
