Good news. I hope they come through. I hate to see you go through this after being so excited about getting this boat. The folks at Donzi.net are pulling for you and hopefully your boat will be put next in line. I think you will be happy with it and you made the right choice to spend the additional cash up front for the HP525 EFI. Otherwise soon you would be trying to figure out how to get more from your 496. I am in the process of putting a 525 in my Donzi 22 Classic. Good luck to you. Yes, Donzi does follow the forums. If they are smart your order will go to the top NOW!

I think not buddy boy, had this been a Sunsation this thread would have build pics and this thread would not be full on 10 pages of bickering.

Wow....19 pages and still no pics of the boat being built. Dare I post a link to the thread about my Sunsation being built?? There wasn't one negative comment, nor worry on my end about being screwed over. Hell I could call the owner of the company at midnight on a Tuesday if I felt the need to discuss something on the boat.

As for this phantom Donzi outperforming a 288...lets run 'em!



----------It's a Sunsation Nation----------

I am happy for you.

What kind of speeds are you getting out of your 288?

Hey Sunny Boy. I have been checking out your forum and was curious about what kind of speeds folks were seeing in the 288 with Big Power. What kind of numbers are you guys getting?

Very interesting thread!!
I will not bash anyone or any company, in fact I have always liked the way the Donzi's look...but to treat a customer this way is completely unacceptable!! Whether buying an entry level or top end boat, new or used, customers deserve to be respected...heres and example:
4 years ago I bought a 1999 Sunsation Dominator. I live close to the factory so I figured I would stop by and see what they thought of the deal I was looking at. Joe (the VP) was in the office and invited me is (yes, he still regrets it to this day! ). I explained the boat I was looking at but couldnt remember the guys name, but Joe did!! He knew the info. and owner of a boat his company had made 6 years prior!!!!!!!!! I bought and used the boat for 3 years and any questions I had or anything I needed was available from the factory. I bought a new mooring cover the second year, and instead of selling me the cheap little snap maker, the company let me borrow their industrial one for the day!!!!
Last year I bought a new 32SS, 496 HO, nice boat but nothing super fancy. The boat was at the shop getting AC put on, so I stopped by with my better half to see how "her" new AC was installed and let her check the boat out. At the same time, the owner of the 1075ScI 43 footer ($$$$???????) happened to be in town to check the production of his boat. We ran into Wayne (President) as he was scurrying around with getting some stuff done on the big boat, but he took the time to stop and say hi...make sure everything was looking good on our boat....and invite us out to dinner with his family and the big boat guy!!!!!!!!!! Entry level, mid level or top end buyer...you should be treated as a customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Donzi Andy.....Sunny Andy is welcome at the Sunsation forum any time bro!!!!! SOX too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides, you have to admit this has a much better look:

I believe the 525 Raylar boat they tested with PB Mag hit 82 in saltwater.

Matts boat has a 496 ho, I'll let him post the speeds very fast for stock power

DonziAndy,

All BSing aside I hope you get the boat you want in a timely manner!

The article said 78 I think. I have it around somewhere.

I said big power though. There is a guy with a 25 Agressor that is showing some good numbers. He seems to have his game face on.
