Alright, I put in a request to change my user name.

These are pictures of the 27 ZR from the factory before it was sent to the Miami boat show.

Here are a few more.

Hey Baja/Donzidream,

My first Donzi was a 97, 27ZX, one thing I would have liked on that boat was trim tab indicator guages. Not sure where you could put them on your dash, It is nice to know where they are at instead of guessing.

Great looking boat!

Mark, you are right about the tab indicator. This 27 zr is the first boat from Donzi with the new changes that they will be using. And it doesn't have any type of indicator, my baja had the livorsi led indicators. All I see is the trim gauge. My boat should have the mechanical indicators just like the larger zr boats. Going off what I have seen on prior 27s the indicator will be mounted in the spot where the trim gauge is.

Tell your dealer that you want the livorsi trim tab gauges, the 27ZR use to have that option with K-Planes its a must, make sure you are getting K-Planes not custom plates. I would not k-Planes without an indicator especilly with the blue motor, you make the wrong move with Ks and you will roll. Also Corsa does make Quick and Quiet for 525s they don't use them on the staggered motors because of the custom pipes so they go with Teague switchable exhaust. Best of luck also ask Jerry from Donzi to give you a rendering of your boat, he is amazing on a computer and is very friendly.

Agreed, no K-planes without the indicators. I have that before. Nothing more maddening than a nice set of k-planes without indicators

I will will have to look into the issue of indicators with the k-planes. The option on the build sheet is listed as 150 k-planes. Although the other boat that Donzi has built withe the 525 engine had k-planes had indicators on the dash in place of the drive trim gauge.

As far as the rendering of the graphics goes. I am dealing with the regional sales rep, so I don't know who is actually make the rendering.

Thanks for posting those photos. I do not see much difference in the helm except for the new foot rests. I like the head room in the cabin and I am undecided on the cooler thing. I see they got away from the flush mounted and caulked nav light on the bow (THANK GOD) the new ones look real good!

Good luck with the new boat. I am really excited to see your boat come together.

The only real change to the helm is they used a carbon fiber panel rather than the plain black panel. And the gauges are coming standard with a chrome bezel.

I was told that the boat goes into production today, so the rendering of the graphics should come in any day now.

I asked if they could take pictures of the boat every few days so I could post pictures of the process. I have not gotten word if Donzi will be able to do that for me.
