How did the sea trial go? Did you end up buying it.

I was a little disappionted at the top speed of the zx, only hit 68 on gps. maybe with fine tuning we could have hit 69. the steering was a bit stiff feelingand took a while to get used to. I was impressed with the fact that at 27.8 ft this boat felt and looked much bigger than my old baja performer 275. The only issues I had with the boat was the cabin headliner was drooping, the rubrails were a bit scruffed and no depth finder. so I am in the proccess of figuring out out how to fix these issues. I did buy this boat but cant take it home untill the trailer is finished.....cant wait to get it home! one other thing, getting in and out of the cabin was a bit of a circus act.
any ideas on what to do with the headliner?

If you can work the headliner down to an opening so you can get under it, get a can of 3m spray glue and follow the instructions.

Are the rub rails ss or alu.

they are pvc, I heard of a place in fl that used to make them for donzi but I dont have a wedsite for them.
