Donzi Boats if I had my way - Bring them all to the market with 540 / Bravo packages (or Verados) and showcase great speed at a fair price - sit between entry level and full custom:
18', 22', 27' Classics - Single I/O or OB
38', 45' - ZRC Sit Down / Race
35', 39', 45' - ZR Sport - bring them back
29', 35', 39' - Center Consoles - bring them back
41' GTZ (since you have the molds - redesign the interior layout)
18', 22', 27' Classics - Single I/O or OB
38', 45' - ZRC Sit Down / Race
35', 39', 45' - ZR Sport - bring them back
29', 35', 39' - Center Consoles - bring them back

Question,
I didn't know there was a 45 ZRC?
The ZR's were 35, 38 and 43 weren't they?
The 35 and 38's are still priced high on the used market that is for sure. Liked the ones with the drop down rear seats.

There were plans to make a 43 ZRC, back in the mid 2000's but it never panned out.

Years ago I wrote about how Donzi should update the hull on the Classics to make it perform better while retaining the classic look. It got a lot of interesting feedback.
The 41 GT was a decent concept but not very well executed.

"I love the classic line (we have a Limited Edition 22 Blackhawk). It is insane what they want for these boats these days. I just don't understand who would pay anywhere near $150k for a loaded 22. They dont even offer it with a "blue" motor anymore. Obviously this is MSRP pricing, but still."
I have over 100k into my 22. Others have much more invested. I think they will install any reasonable power package if you sign a waver.
