Thanks man! I'm stoked....

Zxo
 

Good Loooking Boat, i really like the colors. I was looking at the ZXO & Sunsation when i bought, but i found a nice 288 MCOB close to home, ZXO's were hard to find. Enjoy your new boat!!

WOW!!!!!!!!! She's Beautiful!!!!!!! Congratulations Bradman, that's gonna look sweet on the water!!

Your boat looks great! I hope you get all the same compliments on the water and docks I get. Not many people see an open bow Donzi up here in Chicago.

Overall, how have you enjoyed the boat? What engine/drive package do you have? Speeds? Fuel usage? Have you experienced any weird problems specific to the ZXO?

Thanks

I love my boat. I was looking for a Sunsation 288 mcob. My wife saw this and liked the bigger open bow. I am glad she put her foot down. I have twin 350 mag/ bravo 1. I can get 70 with my wife and 3/4 fuel. I can run 65-66 all day. Thoes are gps numbers. As far as fuel, that depends on the way you drive. Starting and stoping kill me, we have a lot of no wake zones on the river. I also noticed if I keep it under 4000 rpm that helps too. Last summer at LOTO, I was very happy with the fuel usage, I was well under my gas budget. We did tons of boating and I feel it's because I was able to just get out and cruise. Knock on wood.....no "zxo" problems. I don't wast to hijack your post, so one of these days I will post a few pics of my ride. I have to figure out how to get them from my computer to OSO. I'm not a pro, but feel free to ask any questions.

good looking boat...congrats

Feel free to post your pics no problem. Just trying to get as much info from zx and zxo owners as I can. How do you like the handling, any problems with drain from sink, or cooler area?

I did have a problem with a dry roted hose that went from the bilge in the mid cabin to the discharge on the port side of the hull. The service tec said it was a real pain to install the new one. Other than that no problems @ 120 hours. As far as the handling, I do have dual ram laythem hydraulic steering. That is nice. My last boat was a 22 foot four winns, so I would be comparing apples to oranges. I am very happy with the ride and control. Weighing in at 6500 can't hurt either.

Well, on a last minute flight I flew to Florida to check the boat out in person. Everything looks good and needs cleaning. Deal is almost done, and pictures to come....
