I think u will be happy with the ride when u get the chance to ride in one. Personal experience here at the lake, probably because of the weight the Zx rides better and is drier but is a little slower than the Zr. Both very solid in rough water, no rattles, fly level, land soft. Your wife will be much happier and safer when u put the sticks to the dash!! Mine does!

There is a Conroe topps guy that has a 35zr w/525's, his name is Scott Leodroff... Not sure of the spelling on his last name... I know he is friends on the Lcpbc Facebook page, I met him on the toy run last year really nice guy, I'm sure you could track him down and he would let you check it out or at least give you feed back on how it handles Conroe.

Regarding my 29...as I've said any serious offer and it's theirs...no "I'll give you $50k and store it till March or deliver it to me". LOL. You need to come look at it....just bring your checkbook cuz you'll leave with it!

I sold a ton of 29's and 33's but didn't carry many 302's because of the price break between the 29/33 people would usually move to the 33 so they didn't do as well in our market. Driven a good handful of them and they have good cockpit room but a 29 handles better IMO. Still great boats for the money with a great customer fan base still.

The zr's ride real nice. Slice through any chop without any real hard slam or slap. They fly very straight and true and don't need a lot of driver input to run smooth. Donzi really did their homework on these boats. There is a reason a 10 year old ZrComp won the European title last year among a fleet of much newer boats!
I have been on a couple of Fountains and have to say in both handling and rough water you need to have a 42 fountain to ride as good as a 35 Donzi and a 38 Donzi will chew up a 42 Fountain.

Thanks Tom, great feedback! Probably take a drive out to Austin in the next few weekends when I have one off to go check out this 35 if its still around. If not I'm sure spring will bring some fresh glass to the mkt.

I know of Scott but I thought he had a 38 so I guess I'll hit him up. Hes on my FB and I know I've seen him at the lake. I'm a member of TOPPS but just not super active in the club anymore.

I saw that one listed somewhere a while ago....I like it but not sure on the interior?!?!? There is an older 35 CIG that has been re-done all white with similiar color interior. Scared it would get too hot being anything but white with some colors on it... Like the blue paint though! I know the owner of Ski Dock pretty well from working in the biz back in the day with him and Baja....it's only a short drive out there so well see.
