for quality i would say Donzi also... for cockpit size i would say baja... unless my memory is wrong!

anyone can confirm my thoughts?

No, the 38ZX has a huge cockpit and cabin. You are thinking of the ZR, which is alot smaller and more geared towards high speed.

Exact, after return on photo, the back seat on Java is in U, the back page is smaller than on the donzi, it is true that apparently the back seat of Java seems to support more people with the possibility of doing a square with a table.
In fact, Java has a outdoor Fridge, it's nice, and it's possible to go up on the front deck thanks to a small staircase, the windshield is retractable in party

So much baja hate.
I like the lines of the baja better and the cockpit blows the Donzi away.

Build quality of the Baja is pretty poor, especially compared to the donzi. I had a customer that went from the 38 special to a zx Daytona. While the Baja layout was better, the overall quality of the boat was far inferior.

Never been on a Donzi but I have been a proud 38 Special owner for several years. Like everything about the boat. Our cockpit has a straight bench across the back which makes the cockpit huge.
