    the real race is in the classic line, the other boats have fallen way off the pace.

    the larger boats the 38ZR is king followed by the blackwidow and the 35zr


    in the rare or uncommon classics the benchseat is king followed by the Criter and then the minx

    in the classic line the 18 is opening up the gap a bit and the 16 has slipped a notch or two but still in 2nd followed up by the 22

    I think if people could go back and change what they originally clicked on, the 16 would be the leader
    I chose the Criterion because I have one, but, bang for the buck
    the 16 I had would win hands down..Ed

    I agree with ED, I voted for the 18 2+3 because I had one but, also because that what I saw the most of. Now I see Ski Sporters everywhere! (and I like to think I've learned a bit about the marque since buying my first) I would support the Ski sporter 16 if asked again.

    In researching data for our website and having a chance to talk to people who were there in the "DAY". Has confirmed in my mind that the 16 SkiSporter is it.

    Without it NONE of what we now call the classics would be around. It paved the way for all the others.

    We recently just past the holiday season and if we did " the Harry Bailey It's a wonderful life" thingy and the 16 Not been made, all of the 18s barrelback , classic,corsican, x-18 would not exist then a step further all of the 22 footers the 3 critters, the f 22 the 22 and all of the different editions would not be around.

    The hornets may have progressed to the II and III and the 21gt may have come around but the core of the donzi line up that we know and love would not be there.

    The 16' was a practice run for the 18'. I have had two 16's and my present 18'. There is a whole lot more boat in the 18' than the 2' of additional length would indicate, wider too.

    well technically it's not 2 feet it is 16 1/2 inches longer, all added fwd of midship. and the 16 18 and 22 are all 24X7 boats so they are all 7 feet wide but yes without the lounge seat the cockpit area has more width on the 18. with the changes in running surface the 18 rides bigger than a 16 and so on as the 22 rides bigger than an 18

    I thought the 16' was an original production boat. The 18' and 22' just being later stretched developments ....

    I must be old , I can remember when the option sheets included Chrysler packages and there was nearly always a jet drive choice on most models as well .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !
