The 38 donzi is much better to drive and alot more in control. If price was the same I would still pick the donzi as the boat to own! I know they support their owners better. The insurance and accident issues are not there and how can you justify twice the cost for the ol!

Re: Just Purchased 38zr Comp
The Donzi ZRs are a great running boat, They are well balanced and heavier the the Ols so they take bigger water better. The OLs are fast because of the epoxy layup and they build a great boat. But if I was to spend the dollars and run the Poker Run circuit I would go with the Donzi. The 43ZR is just a wave crusher and dosen't beat the daylight out of you. We just ran the Sarasota Poker Run with a 38ZR with 700s and she ran like a raped ape, we started almost dead last and when we hit the gulf we ran at 4500 RPMs 92-94 MPH passing evey V hull once we got towards the front boats in the second group we poored it on and had her running 105 MPH. I was completely impressed on the way she handled.

Re: A Little winter check up 38zr Comp
I just got back from the Dyno......Think I might need to change props or maybe gears in lowers!!!! Teague 800, more like 850's with 900 FPT. That is after we fixed the intake leak, bulged head gaskets, bad ECM, scalded barring, cracked oil pan, bad O2 sensor and tape inside the fuel pressure regulator that was stuck at 92# of pressure. Now trust me NONE of this was anyones fault especially the engine builder it was just a matter of letting a boat sit too long with out changing the fuel or stabilizing it (like 8 months). All it takes is acouple of really good back fires on bad fuel to cause havoc on a blower motor.
Now back to the point I was running a solid 112 to 113 sometimes 115 with 33p 5 blades and 34p 6 blades and a 1.5 lower at about 6000 rpm this was with all the problems listed above. Now after going thru the engines Dyno shows 849.6Hp @ 5500Rpm so got to go down 500 RPM and hopefully make my goal of 120mph. Have Thottle Up looking at making me a new set of wheels...By the way they (Throttle Up) are awesome!! Hope to be back in the water in a couple of weeks, I will let you know what happens!!
To all my Donzi friends....If you thought she was fast before..... Just wait until you see her this year!!!
