Thanks for posting! Great reading. Good to hear the legal battles have ended between Fountain and Baja. No one brand is everything to all, but all brands often something for everyone. We all have the boats we have for at least one common reason, to have fun! Spring is here, come on summer!

When the factory realized their mistake and tried to locate the mold for the ZRC hatch I was told that it was no where to be found in NC. The story is that somehow none of the ZRC molds made it up to NC after Baja purchased Donzi Marine, and to this day they have no idea where the molds for the ZRC are located. They apparently somehow disappeared from the old Donzi factory in Sarasota during the transition when Donzi was purchased by Baja. Hard to separate fact from fiction but all I know is that Donzi no longer advertises the ZRC in their lineup and when I tried to buy a hatch from them they could not find the mold to make me one. How sad is that

Why blow a great story/headline with the obvious?

I suspect when you find out a 38 ZR or 42 Lightning is 500K+ you will soon forget that is after 100K rebate!

While it is sad that their best hull has met a mysterious ending, not sure how many they ever sold to begin with. Of the new style ZRC, do you think they made 20 boats in the last 5 years of production? Similar to the 42 PR, it was a low production model, not exactly the one you pin your hopes of saving the company on!

Very sad. Love the ZRC's. How do you misplace molds?!
