The fountain is a solid performing boat , If you aren't willing to dish out the cash for a pantera or a cigarette i would buy a fountain .... That donzi zr is one of the worst large sports boats i've ever been in

Looks liek this one is back from the dead:food-smiley-007:

I would like to throw the 388 Hustler, 40 Hallett & 39 LaveyCraft into the mix!

What didn't you like about the ZR? What drive/power combo did it have?

So what's the verdict, Fountain or Donzi? The only thing I don't like about the Fountain is the left hand throttles, other than that I think they make a great boat. The Donzi looks AWESOME and the performance #'s seem to be there.... just not alot of info on the Donzi's 38 ZRs.

Go Ruff ...........
 
Top speed don't mean squat, especially when its only a few mile an hr ....... It sounds great at the dock, but the rough rider's going to be the faster boat in reallity ..... Back in 03, when Donzi campained the ZRC it was slower than any of the fountains in the kilo runs, but smoked everything on the race course, completly domminated ...... That's when I saw the light ............LOL...

Just quoting a past post here, They ruled until Outerlimits showed up!!:D:D Back on topic the Donzi 38 ZR is a great boat. They handle and run great!

:point:Dan.... you don't have to promote outerlimits every chance you get. It gets a little old-- though I agree with your statement.

Are you serious??? Go back to the little Kryptonite forum!:D:D I was responding to an older post a while later since now Outerlimits/OSG is the P1 champions!! Also that the 38 Donzi is a very nice boat!

Ahh, agreed Donzi is a nicer boat. No need to show your jealousy of wanting a Kryptonite. I'll make you a Kryptonite hat and shirt so you can ditch that 10 year old worn out raggy cigarette wear.....:lolhit:
