    They don't call them Sweet for nothing! ;)

    I had a Classic 22 in and around the Destin area. Good times indeed.

    I owned a beautiful 1995 "sweet 16" for 10 years. Sold it in 2010 for exactly what I paid for it. Still have my 2000 - 28zf. Great boats. Will post pics later

    I thought the sweet sixteen came only witht he 305 V8.
    The 18 comes witht he 5.7 and 6.2

    Always loved Donzis, but love to watershki and these are the wrong boat for that.

    my boat came from michigan (2yrs ago ) was able to contact the original owner (joe ) who told me he went to the detroit boat show in 1995 to order a donzi 16 and was told he could not get the 16 with a v8, leaving the donzi display disappointed ; a gentleman came up to him and asked if there was a problem.. joe told him he came to buy a 16 with the v8, the gentleman introduced himself as a vp with donzi and proceeded to take the order with the 5.7 . he said they did not want to sell such a small boat with the v8, fearing people might get into trouble with the extra power.
    you are right , there is hardly room for anything ,including water skis !

    They are not very common in California. I may need to sell mine this spring.

    The 18' is a great boat. All of the DONZI Classic series boats (16', 18', 22') are awesome and somewhat unique boats. Google search Donzi Classic 18 for images and tons of info.

    I like having the 22 Classic, but I still wish kept my 20 Minx (google them the best small Donzi ever made). Get pictures latter, have a border issue importing the trailer, said screw it and keep it in Washington at a marina.
