I have a Donzi 18 Classic and enjoy taking it out in the waves in Biscayne Bay. It handles the 2-3 foot waves well when I am on a plane (bout as well as my friends Baja 232,) but it gets wet when I come off plane. When we drop anchor, I am a little concerned that a larger wave could swamp the boat. I was thinking of getting another bilge pump for the errant wave, but I am wondering if I am putting off the inevitable and might need to step up to a boat with more freeboard. I like the Classic 22 but it doesn't look like it has much more freeboard. Do I have to step up to a ZX or a Pantera 24 to play it safe?
