There is no better time for this immaculate 65 Donzi to come to market. Quest was refit in 2015 and again in 2017, along with receiving numerous upgrades in 2019 and 2020. Every component on this boat has been touched. Components were not fixed, they were replaced, upgraded and made better than new. The current owner, and his full time captain, have spared no expense in the up keep of Quest.
Just some of the items added during the refit include a full Furuno electronics package with Omni Sonar, twin Quick gyro stabilizers, twin Onan 27.5kw generators, all fresh paint, water maker, ice chipper, teak decking, air conditioning and refrigeration, bow thruster, Veem props, and much more.
The vessel hull provides a smooth ride due to its sharp forward entry and aggressive modified V hull. Roscioli Yachts are known for timeless styling, superior construction and luxury accommodations.
