i WANT A 22' TO HIT THE SAND BARS IN SARASOTA & OF CORSE IDLE MY WAY AROUND.
CHOICES ARE :
DONZI 22ZX
22 SCARAB
BAJA 232
AVANTI 22

I'd either get the Baja or Donzi...both great boats. I have a 97 Boss Hammer for sale if your interested.

How about the Donzi 22 Classic?

scarab...awesome running and riding boat...but the 22 donzi classic will definately ride nicer

i had a 22ft avanti with a 454 mag that ran high 60's and i spent most of my time in the Barnegat Bay and the Ocean up here in Jersey...

Baja has a new 23 Outlaw you might want to check out.

i'd pass on the 22zx...rides horribly..unless your in perfectly calm water

I've had my 22ZX for four years, and it's been a great boat. No problems, good rougher water boat for it's size, good cabin space, and decent resale. I'd recommend it, and I'm not trying to sell you mine!

Why be half assed, when you can be all ass.

I developed a relationship with the manufacturer of Vindicator performance boats about a year ago. They are building me a 24 w/ a 496 (375 or 425 hp) that really is a nice "entry level" hi-po boat. Drop down bolsters, nice cabin w/ porta potti, etc. Will run 67-68 w/ 375 and 70+ with the 425 option. w/ a trailer and loaded for 49,995.

We are currently designing a 2700 model w/ twin 350 MAGS that should run 75+ and will sell for 59,995. I have a full page ad in the national yachttrader Ft. Lauderdale issue or go to buyafountain.com and click on new boats by VIP.

Good luck with your search.

I assume you are considering used boats. I'm biased, but the Baja is a good choice. It is the longest of the group at 23'6'' l.o.a., and runs 60+ with a 454 MPI. It has a nice sized cabin and the boat has a very good overall fit and finish. If you can find one with the "boss" package, i think you'd be happy.
