    Sorry guys...Had to chime in here. That 50th looks like ass. It looks like an after thought. It has no style and looks thrown together with no good ideas on an attempt of how a 50th should look.

    Matty and I spoke the other day and he mentioned a color of Grumble Green. Now that would have looked cool. ALL grumble green with a white deck and boot stripe, Green and white candycane interior, a split hatch or tripple hatch set-up, no windsheild, some old schools type SW gauges, 1 inch Tyco aluminum rub rail, Old decals and a new DONZI MARINE script...the list could go on and on. But for christ sake...someone needs to think out of the box.

    Looks like the same typical Donzi. Almost like someone bought a new Ford or Chevy truck and went to Pepboys and purchased a bunch of stick on or bolt on S**T and had a field day.

    Sorry DONZI...You got this one wrong. You guys really need to go back to the drawing board and/or get rid of some dead weight. Start thinking out of the box or your never going to survive.

    how bout a Donzi and volvo edition back together after 50 years I would imagine the new VP430 would perform close to the 430 merc maybe even better with the weight savings, use less gas and handle much better the 50th is Gold work that in some how

    Pricing & Pictures

    http://www.donzimarine.com/Boats/Ord...arySpecial.pdf

    Nothing offered on the Classic 16 Good thing becasue it would be around $65K by the 18 & 22 Pricing


    $80K+ CLASSIC 18
    Over a $100K+ CLASSIC 22 EEEEEEKKKKKK - Who would of ever that a boat would cost more than a car which costs almost as much as a HOUSE

    Does this mean our boats are worth more with a price Tag of $80K - I can't see many going to the east coast with that price tag.........NO JOBS HERE PAY THAT WELL..............OR, PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM ON IMPULSE AND HAVE TO SELL A YR OR TWO LATER AT A B I G - L O S S CHA_CHING CHA_CHIMG SAVINGS For the 2nd owners.

    I think I'll find me a used DONZI SHELBY for much less.

    I think that's actually a pretty good pricing and it probably isn't too far off from the net pricing they had when they shut down a few years ago. Although I agree with Scott in that they need to do something new, I'm sure they'll sell a few of these. Heck, I won't be all that surprised if I see one sitting in my Dad's driveway next year.

    The price list reads like a hospital bill. There's an up charge on everything. . A digital depth sounder for $500. You can get a chart plotter and gps combo for that.

    I don't get how they try to sell boat add ons like cars and trucks do. Cars and trucks actually offer upgrades in electrics and trim. I feel for $72000 all that stuff should be standard. It comes off like a used car salesman "Yah for another $1000 I'll throw in a spare tire"
    machinist ,bore it deeper,ream it bigger, and lap it to a fine finish

    It really isn't that out of line. Mine cost around $55,000 nine years ago. Let's assume that these list prices are negotiable too. The list price on mine in '05 was around $70,000.

    Joseph's post went up while I was typing. I think you have to negotiate for a fully loaded one. Mine has all factory options available and the factory installed windscreen. The 496 HO is long gone though. I don't like that the steering is an option and is single ram.

    I don't know.....I guess if I had a job that paid $500,000yr it would be easier to fork over $80-$100 grand for something I might use 40-50 times a yr. For me that $80-$100 Grand pays for a lot of college for my kids.

    In 2005 I was making great money. I bought a brand new 22C from Pier 57 and put another $40,000 into it to get it the way I wanted it. I have $100,000 into it. Boating is my main passion. Now times have changed. The people elected Obama - twice. My income has fallen and there are lots of great deals on used boats. That abundance of used boats on the market is still hurting the industry. If the economy improves and folks start making money again and hanging onto their boats maybe the industry can come back. I read the small boat reviews in Boating mag and Donzi's pricing is not that out of line.

    I'd be surprised if the pricing is negotiable if it's direct & purchased through the factory. A dealer may be able to swing a lower price but then you'd have to pay mark-up, otherwise I bet the price is the price.
