has anyone heard of hull problems on the new Donzi's
 
Specifically the 38 zr? I’m talking about stress cracks near the front on the bottom, and back on the underside of the transom.

No but if there is a problem, I would like to hear more. Need facts. Pictures etc. Tell us what you know if it you can support what you are saying.

i would like to see if anyone else has heard of or had any problems and then i'll be more than happy to post pictures and all the info that i have about it, the shop it is at is very well respected and he is one of the best in the repair business.
im really interested to see if this is a one boat thing or if there is more than just one and i certainly don't want to run Donzi's name through the mill if this is just a freak thing on one boat. im sure you understand why i don't want to just start posting things that could be taken the wrong way.

Are your parent's having problems with the new boat?

shw-n-go h20 09-23-2008 05:23 PM

You could say that. he's almost at the point of buying an outerlimits or cigg top gun, and we have only used the Donzi about 8 times

Is the boat being rack stored and forklifted in and out.

Bobthebuilder 09-23-2008 05:34 PM

What is Donzi saying? I would think it would be covered under warranty?

nope, never. it doesn't even get towed for more than 1/8 mile from the ramp to our house.

Wow - I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember how excited they were when they were buying it. You'll have to keep me posted.

Tell them and the gf hi from me :)

What year is she,, Did you call Graig Barrie or Gene Weeks so far when I was a Donzi dealer we had one that lost its bottom but that was to an object in the water, sold 3 700 ZRs all doing very good R, Crapsey is one of them and sold at least 11 38ZR 525s no Issues with the hull.
