Rip,

you passed on a 33 with 500's for your 496 Das Bird boat? What were you thinkin'? If you weren't gonna go Donzi, you could've at least got a Fountain. The way you drive that thing we should've got you a 370SS.
FX,

When one 496 stops working, the guy with twins is still gonna get home. Nothing worse than the pictures of your boat as your buddy tows you in. How do you qualify that Superboat is built "stronger and better" than a Donzi? As an engineer, I find your terms humourous. The old "my dad can beat up yours" mentality. You must be in sales!

Gulf Coast Hatteras has a 2003 33ZX with 525's for sale. They have had it for over a year. I have personally looked at it and it is low hour and good shape. I bet a real offer of 130K would take it. Cabin met my wife's standards and she is picky about our boats (Formula's and Black Thunder). Good shopping.

Yeah, but youre talking about the 33, he's talking about the 32.. Keep up man

Yep, them 32 Donzi's are just awesome.


And could someone (Rip) explain "print through in the layup" and it's affect on a boat that isn't gonna go over 35 mph anyhow? Wait a minute, it had 500s, fuel consumption higher, make that 30 mph.
On another note, any incriminating photos from boaters weekend? (or at least OSO uncensored material)

5PM,

I'm not only a Fiberglass Specialist/Marine Surveyor, but I build Superboats. I've been in this business for over 30 years. I've repaired ans surveyed literally thousands of boats. So, believe me when I say, " I know glasswork". And no, I'm not in sales.

Rick

I am looking for a Minx. Thats what I can afford now

5 Pm, You Need To Relax, Rick ( Fx-1o) Is One Fine Boat Builder. I Know Rick He Would Never Trash A Fine Boat Like Donzi. His Point Was Nothing More Than A Suggestion For A Potential Onwer. I Have Many Donzi Onwer Friends, The Boats Are Nice. His Point Was Nothing More Than Look What Performance You Can Get Out Of A Single Engine Boat. I Am A Current Baja Onwer, Looking To Move Up . I Looked At Donzi, But, Superboat Hands Down Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!! And A True Custom Builder!!!! Hey Check Ricks Work Out. You Just Might Step Up To A Superboat Some Day. Remember Know YouR Builder, Not The Boat Store You Purchased From !!!!!! Good Luck

Thank You Bahababi. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Rick

Where is Gulf Coast Hatteras and what is the phone #?

I just came across this posting from 27Sedan posted back on 12/29/2004. You obviously never knew Dick Genth and have no idea what you are talking about. I quess you have the right to your sick opinion. It's unfortunate that you never considered the feelings of the people who might read this, such as his friends family children and grandchildren. I hope that when you are dead that no one would express there opinion about you in such a degrading way for your loved ones to see. No doubt he was a much better person than you could ever hope to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
