    The boats built in '94 and later are generally better than the earlier boats.
    This represents a change in ownership of Donzi.
    There have been various issues under all owners, but a lot of improvements came w/American Marine Holdings.

    Good luck w/your search.

    George, my 1993 Donzi by Chris Craft is very well built.

    Its hard to be humble when you own a Donzi. (In my humble opinion).

    IMO, the CC boats were, arguably, the strongest built... certainly the heaviest...

    I would probably agree w/both of these statements, but there just aren't very many of them out there compared to AMH or Chisholm/Staples built boats.
    And I take your word for those statements, but I've never seen one taken apart.

    that's cause they don't need to come apart they would carry a CCA HIN
