Exclamation Bunch Of Questions

Well I’m about ready to pull the trigger on a 38ZR Donzi. (Well I’m going to wait for the boat show) (ok I lied if the wife likes the color of the boat then maybe ….)
Anyway I’ve look a lot and have read more than I care to about different boats different builders, everything you could think of and well here is the boat I like…


07 38ZR (2) staggered Merc 700 sci with NXT drives
Equipment:
Teague 450 tips exhaust
Convenience Package (AC Panel, Battery Charger, Shore Power)
Daytona Package (Lab finished props, 3 man stand up back bolster, mb quart stero, extended trim tabs, Inferno graphics, performance galley)
Head pump out
And a bunch of other little things.

It also comes with the Livorsi data tach and elec system.

Anyway I’M IN FOVOR of everything but I’m not real sure about the NXT drives. I keep hearing about the #6 drives that everyone likes. But can’t find out much on the NXT drive. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about this boat. And or anything good or bad about this engine and drive package.

Thanks again

Yes I hav ethe performance numbers from teh factory and that set up will do over 100mph. The sale guy says closer to 110mph. but I'm taking that as sales talk. but I know she will push 100+ just how much over 100 will be up to the conditions of the air and water rather than the boat.

The Zr's are excelent boats. That is a great package and will definitely get you over 100mph (103-105) no problem and maybe a couple more. The NXT's are holding up well on the Zr's. A warrantied bullet proof 100+ mph package. Go for it!
