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! Josh |

I LOVE that idea!
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. http://www.boatingindustry.com/peopl...ies-at-age-39/ |

Do you have a design in mind?
One of my favorite 38ZRC's was the all white boat that Steve used in some of the early photo shoots. |

Main interior color same as hull or stripe, with carbon accents. Clean dash with carbon faced Monster guages. A few SS logo's here and there. People who know will know. For me all of this would need the Simon family's blessing. I love spending somebody else's money .... :) |

Combining the Donzi logo with the Chevy SS badge.
I was thinking this logo for the rear sides and headrests. Sorry this is just a quick thing I threw together |

Hi Keith,
We are finally headed to Florida this week but we aren't going to make it to the show. Give me a yell if you make it over to the Ft Myers area. What engines are you putting in the fever? |
