Ooh, that is beautiful ! I saw a similar boat (new build) at the Miami Boat show. I heard the builder/salesguy laughingly telling a friend that "some rich dude" had just walked up, checked it out a bit, and said "yeah, I'll take it." Then wrote a check for over 200 grand !
Donzi Sweet 16 "Heartbeat" -Beaver Lake, Arkansas
Those are gorgeous. I'm a fan of the 24 even more than the 20. Here are some pics of it (though I'd do without the cockpit table).

There are some of these available used now, though the prices are still pretty shocking...

These boats are built just 15 min from my home; just over the bridge !
Check-out the Veloce model~~~
Tell me they are not just trying to be a bigger, amd older looking copy of the Donzi 18 !
Great looking retro-style boats~~~
But not very fast~~~
They need a more modern bottom design in my opnion for those high $200K prices !
There was once a friend of rustnrot on this forum building a simiar retro styly boat using an old Donzi hull and mahogany deck !
Might be a great project for a bare junk hull Donzi wreck just sitting arond out there ?
