all of these things seem alike but one is different why???

a) X18

b) 18 classic

c) 18 Barrelback

d) corsican

it's not the difference in the hulls that is way to easy for the wealth of knowledge on this board ;)

Yes but I was thinking three are reasonably similar but the Corsican is quite a departure, will keep an eye out for the answer and learn some more.

keep looking Phil the answer is usually not far from the ground you've already covered, so look at it from a different angle and sometimes you have to fly by the seat of your pants ;)

Corsican is a 2 seater? Is that it?

Oops.......just found a pic....4 seats it is....whatever happened to the link to the model list, btw?

How 'bout the X-18....it's the only one that's been over 120 :)

Bill,
that is true and another great little tidbit of info but they all have ski lockers, the difference is more basic and one person would definetly see it ;)Bill,Phil,Mcgary you are all very close keep going ;)

ok i see on mcgary's edit that he found the answer

the corsican is the only one of the 18 performance family donzi that has a seating capacity of 4 all the other 18 are 5 ;)

BUZZZZZZ... big red flashing light... definitely not that answer... corsican came with a TRS and V drive options... barrelback came with either volvo, omc or eaton or V drive... not sure enough to speak on the X18 but i do believe MP has a TRS on his...

wow Jamie quick with the buzzer ;)

Formula I believe the front seats in the corsican were also a little different from the standard 18

The barrel back,,,the back of the hull has a curve to the transm....Not straight like the classic,x18 or the corsican..

Matty could it also be that the x18 had fiberglass seat pedastils and the others didn,t??????

Ummm read my opening post the hull thingy was too obivous and the corsican has curves that go this way and the x 18 has curves that go that way, and the barrelback has curves that go both ways ;) and the 18 has curves here but not there


guys McGary got the answer though I like as lou grant would say the spunk ;)
I believe the early corsican had different pedestals (shorter) than a std 18 also

-------Original Corsican seats were slightly different. The bottoms were not removable. I think, possibly, this was to get the seats a bit lower in the cockpit. However, because of their construction water had no way of being toweled out after the seats were doused. I dont know of an original set of Corsican seats that are in good unrestored condition (maybe #1???). My #54 was delivered new with X18 seats for some reason. Dont know if the original owner specified them or if DONZI figured out by 1976 (or maybe a bit earlier) that they had a problem. Maybe they were just laying around and got used. In any event I love the X18 seats because they have more back support............Bill S

Yup, the answer was given, the Corsican was the only one with 2+2 seating vice 2+3

X-18, there was one on the registry for sale with the windshield, looket alot like the Hornet windshield.

--------All Corsicans had windshields to my knowledge. Some were never replaced after they were damaged. Without a frame these windshields are very damage-prone as Mario knows!!! Since I am constantly reminded that I dont know everything I will interject at this point that I guess it is possible that someone ordering one of the 54 Corsicans built could possibly have had the windshield deleted.
--------There is at least one Corsican that is TRS equipped, mine!!! There may be another but to this date none have appeared..........Bill S
