I like the old school SS style stripes on the classic. I painted Jeff M. 22 classic years ago that same paint scheme with blue & light tan. Could be a little HOT on the piggies though.

If you have other ideas I'd love to hear them Mike. Could we do red on the sides and somehow blend in white on the deck?

I don't see where that would be a problem. I'll put something visual together this weekend.

Thanks Mike. Look forward to seeing them.

Awesome Project! Looking forward to hearing how it runs. Thanks for sharing the pics! Love the Engines and drives. Both are my favorite.

Drives mounted look awesome!

Just a thought coming from someone who owns a "vanilla" boat. I get a ton of compliments around the docks about how timeless and bad-azz my boat looks. Some boats can look so dated by their colors and designs and honestly in a rainbow sea of colors, the single color boats really stand out.

True easy to spot&basic cool without the loud paint jobs:poopoo:

Donzi has done the "GT", "Aronow" and the "Shelby" style/theme boats but I've always wanted to see a "SS" boat. Not SS as in Super Sport but SS as in Steve Simon. Someone should pay respect to what all Steve accomplished at Donzi before he passed away. Steve was a huge part of the ZRC development.

He was the genius and driving force behind the whole ZR line that brought Donzi back to the forefront of performance. Aside from designing and pushing the production, I believe it was his idea to do the first run of the ZRCs in the classic Donzi racing livery of white with red trim.
His wife Dustin is a sweetheart of a woman as well.

Sorry if this is a downer but in light of filling people in about Steve. He was killed in a car crash in Florida. It is sad to think I am the same age as he was when he passed. Rest in peace Steve.

Thanks for the article Tom.

A huge part, indeed. The ZRC was Steve's baby, 100%. The first ZRCs were special boats. Not that they all aren't - even the new ones - but the care and attention that went into the first boats is something hard to understand unless you were there to witness it. Everyone who had a hand in building those boats knew they were building something special. Steve obsessed over every detail but his enthusiasm was contagious, the boats were winning races, and times were good.

After Steve's passing, an SS Edition was definitely talked about, but there were certain differences of opinion: Was it too soon, would it be perceived the right way, etc. Ultimately, it was an inspired idea that never came to pass. To those of us who knew Steve well, every ZRC is an SS Edition!
