It is my understanding that the '04 23 ZF is actually made by ProLine, and not Donzi. I was told by Donzi that the older boat was just too expensive to sell with the twin 150's and, in order to keep the price more competitive, they decided to "farm" the boat out to their sister company ProLine. They say the hull was changed slightly to perform better with a single 250. Does anyone have personal experience with the 2 boats? How is the quality of the ProLine boat when compared to the Donzi-built boat?

Thanks,

Barry

According to my sources, Pro Line is a well made high end boat.

It is the cash cow of American Marine Holdings.

thats funny because I looked at the proline's at the Atlanta boat show and the price was comparable to a simarily equiped Donzi 23. the 23 Proline with twin 150's was 47k boat show discount price. It looked very well made almost identical to th 23ZF but it did not have the stepped hull it was a traditional deep V.
