After months of searching and even while I still had my 311, we finally agreed on the 2000 Donzi 38ZX out of Pasadena MD. We went back and forth between it and the BT but in the end I just felt more comfortable with the Donzi. My GF really wanted the BT and I was headed that route, to the point that I didn't even want to look at the Donzi, but when we pulled up on it I knew it was going to be the one. I tried hard to find reasons to go with the BT but lugging that 43 footer around just seemed like to much work. The Donzi has everything I want, 500 EFIs with low hours(375), 6 foot cabin, AC/Heat, vacu flush toilet with a descent size head, water heater, filler cushion for more comfortable sleeping, and XR drives.

I appreciate all the help that everyone has given durning my search and if I looked at your boat and didn't go that route thank you for your time.

I told my GF that going with the 38 ZX means that the BT will be another step up we can do one day... She still didn't care.

These pics aren't mine there from the seller. I'm water testing the end of March, I have no doubts it will run flawless. If I feel like towing her home I'll do it. If I find someone to do it for a reasonable price I might go that route. [ATTACH=CONFIG]520319[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]520320[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]520321[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]520322[/ATTACH]

Great looking rig. Still kick myself for not going for the Scarab 38 next to the 33 I bought. Was moving up from Donzi 18 and was skewered to go bigger. Live and learn.
