I thought Vinny told me he had his mechanic go through the drives.......maybe he just meant he changed drive oil.

Omerta one,

Can you comment on cabin size? Thanks!

I looked at the ZRs for a while, and sat in several ZR cabins, but ended up buying a 38 TG. There is a lot more head room all the way through the cabin in the Cig. Especially near the cabin door and the V-berth. My head touched the top of the cabin in the ZR, and I'm only 5' 9". Its not even close in the TG. The same with the v-berth. In the ZR I felt like my shoulders would almost hit if I rolled over. In the TG there's tons of room. I'm not bad mouthing the Donzi's, I used to have a ZX and I liked it a lot. The cabin is low in the ZR because its a flat deck boat.

All BS aside is a TS cig really fun to romp and run and play in like a stright bottom , or just good in a stright line like a cat. I am thinking about a TS but haven't spent much time in one and the owner was afraid of it. Any help on twin steps will be appreciated. Thanks

I am 6-1 and can sit upright in the cabin without my head touching the ceiling; could not do that in the Donzi.
