Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 vs Donzi F22 1980: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 vs Donzi F22 1980 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 550 hp, the Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 has a 250-hp advantage over the Donzi F22 1980's 300-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Donzi F22 1980 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Donzi 29 ZF Open 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 28,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Donzi F22 1980 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
