Top Gun vs. 38zx
 
I know two different ships here but just was curious what everyones pros and cons were. Not going to be able to afford the T/S in these models unless the right deal runs along.

A 8 ft. beam vs. 9'2

The love the idea of the speed and ride of the cigs. And of course the legendary name, but the room on a bad weather day, accomadations of the donzi make it appealing.

Thanks again.

True it may not run big water quite as well as a TG but they certainly arent to far behind. I have never had any problems in Erie water. They are heavy but still run respectable numers, I see 80+ with 525SC's. Its got a huge cabin with plenty of room and in my opinion is the best looking boat ever built.

I stopped and talk to ya out back there about a yr. and a half ago. I run a lawn business (WiseGuys). Bought the 29 outlaw. Anyway been meaning to call you to discuss your donzi as I'm interested in one for sale and remebered you had one. Couldnt remember what yr. yours was.

The ZR Comp is a fine rough water boat. I think that is the best looking boat personally.

Keep it coming guys. A good friend of mine is also wanting a 38zx coming out of a fountain 35ex. He loves the amenities of my Black Thunders but doesnt want that big of a boat. All advice would be great.

GlassDave, Beautiful machine


Thanks Guys
