Maybe so if you are talking a Donzi 38 ZX, but he is asking about the ZR. The newer 42 lightning has a bigger cabin than the 38 zr

I have an 05 42 staggered Ex that goes 83 easily and 85 light with labbed Maximus props. My friends 07 33 Donzi hasn't held up half as well and just got through replacing broken motor mounts after jumping a ship's wake. Besides the girls like Fountains better.

I was using the Fountain facility to launch my Donzi one day when Reggie came along....he made reference to the fact that the bottom was a copy of his design...didn't seem to upset about it just very matter of fact

I saw a donzi in the air on a crane a noticed it looked just like the bottom of my Fountain. That made me think that Donzi did splash a Fountain.
