For the record, photos don't do that boat justice. I mean, damn.

The outboard propulsion is new for the Monte Carlo. All prior Monte Carlos had stern-drive power. The Flyers were/are outboard-equipped.

I'm sorry you were disappointed, though. I thought it was a beautiful boat with, again new for the line, outboard power. To each his own.

Ok I have been getting those two models confused, but either way I like them both.

Any new updates on Donzi's new models or their event from the 14-18th?

It just felt underwhelming, cheap, thin seats with too soft of cushioning, poor ergonomics at helm station, no place to put your feet when sitting on seat...stuff like that. Some of the rigging stuff I didn't care for or what I have come use to from the big guys like Nortech. Other than that, I like the length, beam, look is ok and speed. Lastly the boat was just filthy, and I get it..its a demo but this was really dirty, especially the floor and all the compartments you open up.

Nortech needs to turn their 420 MC into a DC with a walk through like they did on their 46.
