Would explain the handling issues of a 55 mph single I/O, round keel boat at 80 w/twin O/Bs ��

Taken from a Donzi Doral 24 sitting on Federal Highway in Lauderdale. Later lengthened to the 28 Sonic. During the "platform" debate-in-length years, it was then renamed the 30. All along its retooling "metamorphosis", retaining the Donzi 24 degree deadrise, round keel, and same small width lifting strakes & chine size.(no imagination, I tell ya)

Way back when Schuster copied a Glastron Hull, then Sidewinder copied the hull and upper Tahiti Deck so Schuster copied the Sidewinder Lo Pro Deck and from there shot off a bunch of clones of both....Some having the 45 Degree angled Transom and other having a simple flat transom.

Storm Bass Boats, originally built in Pompano Beach, Fl. in the early eighties by Burt Storm, is/was a 20' Allison hull...

All sounds about right. Canadian versions as well.
