I think your heading in the right direction going with the Fountain due to your family and you have a Fountain to trade so a Fountain dealer is not affraid of your trade. I have always wondered about that boat myself. It is from Canada so its probably a mostly fresh water boat. What about the 600 42 Executioner Shogren has?? Looks like a nice boat boat and then you have Merc. power.

This market a trade is going to kill you unless he has somebody that wants your boat and is ready to buy. Randy is a good guy and from some of the deals he has offered me in the last few months I bet he can come down a good bit on 180k. But I bet yours will come in at under or at 100k

Really???
The 38 Donzi will handle the waves better but it's going to be 5 - 6 mph slower than the Fountain and feel less agile, but because it is bigger and weighs more it will handle the waves better. The ZR also has quite a bit more room in the cockpit.
I own a 38 Fountain and have driven a 38 ZR. I felt the ZR was underpowered with 525's but then a 42 Fountain might also feel underpowered with 525's and a 42 might be a better comparison to the ZR in size. The 38 looks and feels quite a bit smaller than the ZR because it is.

The orange Comp ZR runs 115 mph with a pair of 700's. The acceleration is the best part. Plus, it will cover a 38 Lighning in the rough!!!!!!

i have run both fountain and donzi in racing condition. i like the donzi, it feels like my skater in 5's easy. i fell inlove with the zr in 02. ran a fountain in 03 then back to the zr.
the zr handles the rough very well.
93mph with 500 efi's.
never ran one with 525's, but if it ran that well with 500's the puch with the 525's is gonna be better. 700's have to be sweet.
