Any advice on which to buy? Of course I will have a survey done prior to purchase....just looking for past owners' experiences to which has the quality AND performance. I am looking to buy in the April time frame. I've researched the usual - peformanceboatlistings.com, boattrader, yachtworld, etc. Any links or knowledge of one for sale would be appreciated! Many thanks in advance.

Donzi for sure.

No cabin, but no pun intended, a real "classic"

if you want cabin then not a donzi but if you want classic then yes for donzi stay away from the late 80s donzi omc years

The Formula 242 is ALLOT bigger boat than the other two, with a nice cabin, but it is going to be a far bit slower unless you are in the rough water.
I think the Donzi is the best looking of the three, but probably the least family friendly

The Donzi will be the fastest but they are a rough ride. Not sure what kind of water you usually boat in but if its 2-3 footers I would look for a different boat.

No way, I have both the donzi and the p-22. The pachanga is A LOT faster,better ride, better handling....but doesn't look as cool

im in the middle of restoring a 24ft carrera should be ready in april if interested

Pachanga 22 is a hard bot to beat in ride and performance. It's a small boat for a 22 footer but has a cabin. This boat with a 454 cuin and 671 supercharger and external steering will runs 90's all day long. You will feel safe.
