Hi s022mag.
If you are looking for a clean Donzi 38' ZX then take a look at the one below that's listed in the classifieds section. It's located not too far from me. I can take a look at it for you if you wish. It appears to be in excellent shape.

Regards,
Brad

Too Tall you're a good man taking those pics and giving your report. I'm working in Woodlands today and may swing by on way home and look at it. Hope to see you in Conroe someday. We had a guy with a beautiful 42 Fountain on Conroe with 500EFI's from the same shop who had lots of trouble with the engines even when fresh and eventually sold the boat. Guess what he also had trouble with oil leaks. It seems to me even at this point you can count on major engine work. Born and raised here in Houston/Galveston I'll let you know my take on how much saltwater use!!

Yep it was a project to me. Hope it saved him the trouble of getting a disappointing survey.

I forgot to mention, there's a set of boost gauges on the dash also . . . .

Lastcall, I have been eyeing that boat and really like it too. Only issue is I have to sell my 311 first. The guy in Humble mentioned that he might take mine in trade. Looks like I'm back to square one.

On time, it was very nice of Too Tall to take the time and check out the boat for me. With boost guages on the dash is it possibly the boat had bigger power and was tuned down for the sale.

Everyone in the area knows of that engine shop/builder. They have some impressive hardware on that lot 24/7. Well, the Card Shark boat isn't there anymore, but that's a different story.

The point I was trying to make is everyone has a strong opinion about "that builder" at least half of them NOT GOOD. Beware.
