I bleed Phantom Black ike the next Mercury guy and appreciate the use of the Mercury P&A Catalog....however they could have done DTS Shadow with a DTS Zero Effort Control (4-handle...2Throttle/2Shift). I don't think someone would need the single-lever function on a sport cat....so a ZE Control and performance rocker switches in a carbon panel would have gone a long way to keeping the sport look. Not to mention more align with industry. I do like the cockpit design and abundance of space regardless of little details (IMO).

Cool design but they should have done the windscreen in 1 piece instead of staggered. It reminds me of the center steer Cigarette Maximus that had the center driver pod.

Nice boat besides that terrible windshield.

Kudos To Donzi for taking a leap and going with such a radical design. Anxious to see how it performs.

I keep going back to the pictures of this boat and I dig it! Anyone have a guess on speed? I think having that much room to party at the back is amazing.
