I'm trying out some Merc 5 blade props next week custom made for donzi, we'll see what the difference is. Overall very happy with the boat. Paint quality and finish was awesome.

As far as Donzi Quality: Please understand that the days of old Donzi are gone and the new Donzi are better, faster and more custom then ever before: The detail they are putting into there boats are some of the best I have ever seen. Our 38 ZR that was at the NY boat show had better reviews then then all the PERFORMANCE boats that were there. When Donzi says its now our turn. they are not just saying it, they mean it! Look at the workmanship going into our 43ZR with 900s and number 6 drives.

A brand new 38 ZR w/ Ilmor 625 rafted off me the past weekend. Incredible boat! It got a great "pop" at Billy's Stone Crab. Everyone loved the paint job & sound of the V-10's.

Yes.....that was me at Billy's. People love the sound of the Ilmor's.....when they hear it coming they can't figure out what the sound is??? I like that....it is the sleeper for those who don't know any better and want to play!

Re: 38 ZR with 625 Ilmor
I probably could have played nicer. My customer/friend who just purchased the 35ZR with 496HO's was out and I snuck up behind him and blew past him...he did not realize I had Viper's and thought it was his driving error when he could not catch up. When we got to Billy's we had a good laugh. Then we got to play with my friends 35 Fountain with HO's, another easy victim....then my friend with a 2002 35 Fountain with Whipple charged 500EFI's refused to play....he was to worried about blowing a motor to keep up. His boat will run 90mph...but it is a 90mph hand grenade.
I honestly only know of a few V's (2-4)in the area that have the "potential" to hang with my 38ZR. Only one for a FACT is faster, that is triple XXX, for $900K it should. Although I still might have a chance because it breakes most of the time.
