The best least talked about boat
I was gonna do a poll but it's easier just to ask and get responses.
Question:
What is a very good but "least talked about" or "recognized" offshore boat out there in terms of performance and quality. Maybe a boat that "got lost" and needs a little boost! Maybe we can identify a few and do a little overdue "horn tooting"!
Obviously it dosen't have to be the "least" but you know what I am getting at; a "sleeper" or "diamond in the rough".
You don't have to be "popular to be best" sometimes can apply.
Remember in making a decision "The only real valuable thing is intuition."
Give it a go?
My choice is going to be a Donzi 18' Classic or 22' Classic
L O A 18’0” (5.49m)
BEAM 7’0” (3.13m)
DRAFT, DOWN 29” (0.74m)
UP 14” (0.36m)
DEADRISE 24°
FUEL CAP 41 gal (155.2L)
WEIGHT (appr) 2,700 lbs (1224.7kg)
MAX HP 350 (261kw)
BRIDGE CLEARANCE 26” (.66m)
L O A 22’6” (6.86m)
BEAM 7’0” (3.13m)
DRAFT, DOWN 31” (0.79m)
UP 16” (0.41m)
DEADRISE 24°
FUEL CAP 52 gal (196.8L)
WEIGHT (appr) 3,400 lbs (1542kg)
MAX HP 470 (223.71kw)
BRIDGE CLEARANCE 28” (.71m
Just something reasonably priced and powered to have a blast with!

I agree, it would be a "fair-weather" lake boat.
Maybe I started a "dumb thread"?
