Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I'd take a Zr Comp.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I ment to add to my post that the Donzi ZR has no leg room. If you are over 6'1 or 2" you might not fit.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

Yeah, that was a pretty cool boat but it's much smaller than say the 42 Fountain or 36 Cig Gladiator. Bother these boats have a deeper cockpit.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

The Zr's have adjustible seats I believe. I know the Gladiator does.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

nortech 38!!!

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

correct im 6' Plenty of leg room had to move seat forward as a matter of fact... They are a little low though.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

With the new zr you have a choice, the bolster looks to low to stand during rough water to me. I did the same to my 24ol after breaking my 8''extra tall standup bolsters in the cape race in 2002 .My old ones were right under your arm pits not like a lot of stock seats that topped at the small of your back :rolleyes: I had offshore performance build 2 custom drop out race seats,so when racing or running in rough water it was better to sit.you were lower in the boat, but if you were just out goofing. Then drop them down and they still give you support above standard ones, but with a PHUCK UP knee and 5 bad disks and 3 tears in my shoulder I like sitting now :rolleyes: :D PLUS When sitting the wind goes over your head nice, but when standing this fall testing props running 80plus hour necks were killing us after 15mins in the wind. PS WHAT I REALLY NEED IS A FOAM BUBBLE DO UH :rolleyes:

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

In the front seats of the Gladiator there is no wind at all. I was on a regular Zr and was sitting down in the back bolster. I perfer sitting down, but I think standing would have been better for the back since the wind is already in your face.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

my problem is I can't stand anymore :eek: :D working out after the last surgery 6 weeks ago I am only working with 2lbs :eek: and after 30 reps the knee is killing me :rolleyes: and to top it off they gave me corisone the other day thats a band aid :rolleyes: . but anyways if this won't work soon I told then to just replace it, I'm loosing count on the surgerys last 3 were 2004 and 2006 gees, and like I said with my fairing I'm sitting just right and the wind doesn't pull on you at my slow speeds which is fast for a baja :p

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

My point exactly. This is getting old. As soon as someone starts a thread like this, no matter how simple, it turns into a heavy weight fight promotion with of course a ton of trash talkin :evilb:

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

This is the second thread I have read where someone refers to thier boat as _ OL.

It keeps f'n me up 'cause I'm thinkin' "when the fuk did OL build a 24" or whatever....... :rolleyes:

The people around here call Cigarette "Cigs" and Nortechs " NT" and Powerplays PP's and Active Thunder "AT" and such......

Please don't refer to your Baja as an OL. I understand it's short for OUTLAW.

That is for Outerlimits as it's the OSO tag for their brand.

I don't think it's too hard to type in the extra 2 letters for Baja instead of OL...... :rolleyes:

Of course, I am probably just being irritated because you are making me think at 2am on a Friday night... :drink: :drink:

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I was thinking the exact same thing. I went looking on Google for a OL (Outerlimits) 24' boat! :rolleyes: PLEASE just type Baja...it;s only 4 freakin' letters you lazy butts! :drink:

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I don't think a baja should be refered to as an OL either, but what really gets me even worse is when the " (inch) is used instead of the ' for foot.

24" ---> twenty four inches
24' ---> twenty four feet

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

okay okay BAJA 24OL :p :p :p JUST THINK IF MIKE MADE A 24' IT WOULD ONLY COST ABOUT 250,000 :D PS CASH go get some beauty rest :D you know sleep with hot babe :D

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

The 37 GTX is the wrong choice for this thread, there were only 3 of them made, where as the 39 gtx is a better choice.

I have run a 39 gtx w/ 850's crazy acceleration, and great rough water handeling. I have ridden in a gladiator, was nice, but not the ride I was looking for, and I haven't ridden in a fountain poker run, but have heard mixed opinions.

It is a matter of personal preference, but they are all pretty good boats.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

Gladiator

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

ZR Comp has a electric adjustable foot rest, I'm 6'3 and a half and fit more than comfortably in it, so that's definitely NOT the case.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

Nice site. Thats what Cigarette needs to do. Thats really great for Donzi. Like I said before, were really looking hard at a 38 ZRC!!!

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

The 37AT comes with electric bolsters, and you can sit on them....


so I vote 37AT.

:D :D :D

[QUOTE=pm203][QUOTE=

a 36 glad is a bad ass boat but needs merc 5 blds and a set of 750's t orun pretty much maintanance free. again i have rigged and run this boat.

.


Monstaaa,
That does not make sense. Why would you need 750,s to run maintenance free? Maybe you meant to run 100 MPH plus?[/QUOTE]


forgot to add richie zul to that statement.

couple more pics.

p.s the 42 poker run has suspension seats , which truly do absorb any back jarring experienced in other sitdowns. how ever this really only helps in truly ruuf waters or in moderate water at speeds over 120 or more.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I think that Sheltie and I would vote for Dragon.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

trur , but not a true sitdown, as this one isnt.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

This is my vote. Notice the suspension seats. Very soothing to the back!

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

EVERY NICE! How much extra $ to add to the boat?

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

go to www.HighPriorityOSR.com and there is a link. They do work very well.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

Never mind, got my answer today!!!!!:D:D:D
I cant wait to see it!!!!!

Well Trader.... I might as well put my 2 cents in. I own the 37 GTX that I believe you said you wanted for your next boat in an earlier thread. All of this chatter drives me nuts. These guys know nothing about this boat.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-13104.html

I have never driven a Glad or a Donzi, so I certainly won't put them down, but I can tell you it rides better than any of the 10 Fountains I've driven, or the 3 Slingshots I've owned.

As for the 36 Glad guy, with the Zul's...... ask him why he couldn't catch me for the entire first leg of the 2006 NYC Poker Run????? It was just us two out front and I drove away from him. My boat runs 108mph (105 every day). Same power.

I had 5 guys on board and a full tank of fuel. This boat flies, and it NEVER gets out of shape! My grandmother could drive it at 100mph!

There is nothing out there right now that will out perform this one for the money! Both motors are brand new! Those Cobras, were tired so I trashed them. In rough water there isn't one creak, or rattle, or shake. The thing just rocks.

I hate getting involved in these pissing matches, but they're comical. Have a chat with Paul Fiore, and ask him about how the boat is built. The reason they didn't build more than 4, is that they couldn't charge enough. It is so over built, the profit margin compared to the price point was too low. They would have had to charge $600 plus for the boat to continue to build it and make money.....ask him.

I hope this helps you, and if you are still interested in the boat, let me know. It's perfect!

All you fellas that think you know this boat...... DON'T KID YOURSELF. Come for a ride, and you'll be a believer.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

I am appreciative to everyone who has put their opinions in on this thread! it is exactly what I am looking for and I do intend on driving each one to see what I like the best. As for a side note I wish everyone a happy healthy and safe holiday season! Lets be careful out there so we can all be on the water soon!

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

The best sit down is a cat.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

The 38 ZR Comp will be complete by Miami boat show and hopefully in the water for testing. this what she will sort of look like the painting is rough because I did it to send to Donzi. This boat should run awesome with the 700 Package the 38 ZR stand up performs excelent, I can imagine how the 38 Comp is going to run with the same package.

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

Sweet, the colors look great!!! It should be a hit at the show!!!

Re: Which Sit Down is the best
 

If you would like to take one of mine out for a test let me know. It speaks for itself.
