I would think you could buy 2 gladiators for 1 ZX, The cig is beautiful but I think out done. I think the donzi/outerlimits is a better comparison

Donzi vs. Outerlimits. LOL :rolleyes: Next we will compare the Ferrari Enzo and the Mustang Cobra.

I also agree with Too Old. I've been infatuated with these boats since they came out. This I believe was hull #2. It was at last year' PRA in April at Sarasota. The scuttlebut then was during testing, it ran 93 with twin 500's, so they picked the number F2-93.

Steve Simon in the 38.

Saw the Harley of Daytona boat and its pretty sweet, There is one parked down the street from my house that has a cover on it . Trailer is from Texas, Havent seen the boat around before. Anyone know whos it is , I liked to check it out

I stand by my statement. It's my opinion and my opinion only. I've looked at both boats and I'd buy the Donzi.

I like the Gladiator. I like Cigarettes. But I'm not blindly loyal to any brand.

I'm not blindly loyal either, but my opinion is based on my experiences with all brands. Our marina used to sell Donzi, I've had 3 Formulas, my friends have had all the rest. They are all great boats. They are still mass produced hulls.

I guess I don't understand what your definition of attention to detail is.

My opinion only for Vee's: Cigarette, Apache, Nor-Tech, Outerlimits, Saber, (and I've probably left 1 or 2 out) are FAR ahead of the game on attention to detail. And I don't mean the paint jobs. I'm talkin solid white in and out. Rigging and innovative ideas for seating, comfort, and accesibility. How easy it is for mechanics to access areas without them being in the way. Location of cleats, rails, steps, handles. After all that is designed, style is a major component of attention to detail as well. Some have it, some don't.

And of course I respect your thoughts Fred. Afterall you should "have it your way" right? ;) :D

Our 38ZR has seen 95.3 GPS with half fuel and 4 people. Weight does not seem to affect the speed very much.Will run about as fast loaded as it will empty.

Donzi 38 ZR all the way!

I rudely forgot one major builder that is at the pinnacle of attention to detail. NOR~TECH. Sorry Terry!

The ZR is was a really good design, At first I thought we were talking about the ZX line......no opinion!
