I have spent time (multiple poker runs & such) on both the Donzi Zf and 36 Concept.
Both boats have roughly a 33' running surface and an overall length of 35' (35' 3" on the Concept).
The Donzi cockpit and cabin is a much bigger (9'2" beam vs. 8' beam).
The Donzi also has a deeper cockpit and is self bailing.
Speed wise they are similar with the same HP even though the Donzi is a much heavier boat and that is where it really shines.
It runs like a much bigger boat in the rough stuff and will eat up any slop that you throw at it.
The Concept is the tried and true 8' 24 degree wave crusher but you definitely get a rougher, wetter ride in it.
This is just my $.02.

I compared a few boats when I bought my Fountain 34.
Everything I came up with said Donzi or Fountain for build quality, finish, cockpit space, performance, rough water handling. Concept, Renegade, Marlago, Glasstream, Contender and a few others all had appeal but Donzi or Fountain were ahead for my budget.

I only chose the Fountain over a Donzi because a great one came up at the time.

You don't like Fountain?
