I'll make sure not to smart off in the bar to you

I understand your boat choices. You will not fit in a Fountain.

Neither boat has much freeboard! How tall is your father? If he is over 5'10" the will want to sit down, as a lot of his body will be above the windshield.

Both are nice boats, but the Donzi is very tight to get into the cabin. I am 6'4", so I need some space

Just another peek at 38 ZR...Have you seen the deadrise almost beak on her? Walking away taking final looks there is an intergal beak there

That may explain the v berth.

As above just buy the Cig and you will be cool forever, especially on the internet


Saw Roger1 piloting the 39 Gun at show. Now that was a nice ride. Price was 427,000. Not sure how much it can be hadd for. Beautiful boat.

I coincidently spent exactly $42 at the show? good omen

Then another 350 for all the rest of what it takes to do a 24 hr boat show trip. Dam boats just keep draining my thin wallet.

Take your Dad to the Miami show, Feb.16 thru the 20th. They will have both the boats you are asking about in the water. Go take a ride, drive both and have an open mind and see which one you both like. Good father and son time. what a way to send a weekend.
