I think it looks great. I think the offset stripe rocks.
I could take or leave the scoop on the motorbox.
My only issue is the flag, which I think should be easily removed. I love the idea of it. I don't think it works in the proportions they chose. If I bought one, I think I would lose the flags. The "009 Even-More-Limited Edition."

Here's the beauty 009...the more I look at it the more I want it. I will find a way.

+1 on flag delete..
I always enjoy it when these conversations come up. It's a real privilege to have a hand in creating something that people will be debating for quite some time.
We considered going without the flag but it was distinctive, it made the boats immediately identifiable, and it created a direct correlation between past and present, as we juxtaposed the new 22 and 35 alongside historic photos of the old 008.
However, there's a reason we made the flag a decal, while the "DONZI 009" was painted-on! There's something to be said for "love it or hate it" design cues, but at the end of the day the goal is still to sell your creations.
Funny, I know of at least one 22C 009 that was "deflagged" by a dealer for a boat show only to have the customer take delivery and call us wanting his flags. Murphy's law!
One of the nicer (in my opinion), yet less talked-about design cues of the 009 is the carbon fiber dash panel than spans the whole dash. After years of flush mounting the gauges into fiberglass, switching to the panel (with glossy carbon fiber) and the black leather steering wheel gave the dash a real fresh look.
+1! That is one badass looking boat. I've thought that from the first time I sawthat edition. Classy right out of the factory.
Josh;
Is that a faux carbon finish on that panel, or the real thing?
I really like it.
I'll have a full width panel and I've been contemplating different materials.

One year, one of only 18 made? That's got to be worth something down the road. I think it's a great looking and great running boat. Love the black.
