    Want a ride that's smooth as a Donzi in rough water

    Real problem is getting too damn old for fast boats.Looking for a smooth riding 18 to 20 ft that will run 60-65 and not be trying to kill you like some of the old Donzis would. Got an old 21 Paramount now w/250XS would like similar performance in closed bow comfortable boat. Thanks

    Donzi's are 24 degree bottoms so you will want at least 22 degrees in any boat you end up getting. You may have to go to 21' to get what you want in an O/B.

    Paramount does everything I could ask of it, bought it new in "92. I was looking for something little and pretty that I could teach kids with. Search is over for the short run, bought a 16 flat deck Superboat that needs a complete refurb. If any one has had one with moderate power I'd like to hear from them .Thanks
