Me driving a Donzi 38ZRC with 700s running 105 with 3-5s in the Gulf Sarasota Poker Run she was a handfull at that speed but we ripped by everyone except the Cats. Plus this boat did run GPS Speed 115.8 MPH she did not land sideways at all during that Poker Run. I know my wife loves the cabin in a boat but if it was my choice for Poker Runs the only V would be a Donzi ZRC.

Didn't Brian and Wilma Ross from CAN win a couple of "world championships" a couple of years ago in their then 38 ZRC?
I remember they ran real strong with that boat.

Trust me when I say, if you want a cabin, you DO NOT want a Donzi unless it's a ZX. The 38 ZR doesn't have a useable cabin.......that is unless you are comfortable in a coffin.

Actually I own a ZX my wife loves the cabin but The ZX is a heavy girl and crushes waves. The ZX is in a class of its own not a big fast performance boat but its not a cruiser, She is the perfect blend with all the amenties, Microwave, Fridge, AC, Heat, full head, shower, Plazma TV, Sony Playstation and High cabin.

Hey Robert good call, I know my wife has a sense of humor and likes a good laugh " Heck Shes Married To Me" so I did edit it to be safe

GOT CABIN??


Seems like the Donzi guys broke out the comp ZR when the pleaseure versions can't keep up. Want to compare a comp ZR, compare it to a 38 Race version or 42 PR.

I do this for a living, Donzi's are very nice boats, hell their knocking my door down to pick them up as a line at Smith Mountain Lake. 38 to 38 >>> or comp to PR edition, the Fountain is going to be faster, period. However as I stated in the beginning, their are more factors that should/and do go into buying a boat, and what is best for one is not always best for all.

So Frank, again just to be clear, when you say she is the perfect blend with all the amenities are you speaking of the boat or the wife ?? LOL No more edits required.
