I have only heard good things about the Donzi as far as ride. But, let's face it, buying a performance boat has alot to do with looks, and that is where the Donzi just falls short. It justs looks old and dated . I have had several Donzis in the past and always will appreciate them, but, this particular model just doesn't do it for me. And, I would put Phils new 700 Glad up against the new 700 Zr any time of the week. Anyhow, I have always said, buy what YOU like. Either way, you can't go wrong.
As for Phil's new 700, I would like to run him with my old (2003) Comp. It might be faster in a flat out drag race, but let's do a nice run say Miami to Islamirada in Feb and see who wins!

I wouldn't go so far to say old and dated, just different. To me the Gladiator looks older and more dated but to each his own.

I don't think this is true with these models. I see a lot of gladiators priced at or below the ZRC's. Course a couple of the ZRC's I've been interested in over the last 2 years are still for sale.
Maybe it's numbers but you can buy a gladiator cheaper than a ZRC at least based on asking prices.

Plus with the Cigs you get the "free spin" possibility everytime you drive it!

BLASPHEMY! PM203's Gladiator was painted by Harold, tweaked by Phil, Skip drove it once and is worth 3 X a new ZRC with 700's since they don't make Gladiators anymore (rare/collectible) and the Donzis are production boats.
