Almost pulling the trigger!!!
 

Got a purchase agreement written up just waiting on the banks final say, and then a water test. If all goes well I should have something by early April. Been a long winter and starring at boats online have not helped. Soon as its a done deal I'll post make model and pics.

can't post a thread like this and not give any other info!

I know, the bank is giving me run around on the value of the boat which is total BS as far as I'm concerned. It could come down to the wire and I don't want to announce anything till I'm 90% sure. The other 10% is a water test.

I hope all gos well and we all get to see it sooon. then its beer time. cant wate :party-smiley-048:

Congrats

almost

Bank Approved:bunnydance:

Just got to water test now

So spill it then!

Oh the anticipation!!!

Frickstyle get to work your boat is not going to finish it self.....

So that makes 90%!

:worthless_without_p

so what did u get?!

Can't wait to hear what it is :):):) Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt got nothing his girl friend got a boat, lol.:lolhit: :evilb:

Maybe she wont let him say what she is getting yet. :party-smiley-004:


Just playing Matt, congrats.

Donzi or Black Thunder????

Come on

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]

Congrats!!!

Lookin good Matt!

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.

congrats on the new ride!! beautiful boat. gather up some of your boys out there and run up to buffalo in august for the poker run!

Congrats!

Congrats! See ya at Boyne?

Sweet ride!!! Congrats!!

Congratulations, that is a sweet looking boat,

I have been considering a 38zx also, maybe another year or so.

Congrats! That's a great looking boat!

Good looking ride! Post some more pics and performance reports once you get settled in!

Congrats nice boat. Tow it home yourself its worth it. I brought mine to michigan from Iowa!

For sure. Already registered. Slip 66

edited because im an idiot lol

There is no mention of bajas in this thread. The op chose a donzi over a black thunder, both are great boats

:lolhit:

And to the OP... that's one sweet Cigarette boat!

Congratulations! and Welcome to the Donzi family! Boat looks beautiful!
Can't wait to see it at Boyne this year!

I think that is the slip I was in last year....or my buddy Mark with the ZR. We got over on the other side this year. We are in 13 and 43 I think rafted together.

Look forward to seeing the boat!

Just saw the thread, very nice boat! Looking forward to seeing it out and about.

Make some room for me at the main dock and I'll gladly give up mine for someone who registered without a slip.:coolcowboy:

Thanks, I haven't addressed the Donzi Forum yet, figured I'd wait until I had boat in hand. Funny I looked at a 35ZR on the internet out of Texas, I actually contemplated it a few times but that cabin is just to small. The cockpit in those ZR's are professional high quality though.

They have them stuffed in, can't wait. Stop by and have a beer. We didn't mind that side last year but with the early code we went to the other.

I considered the ZX after seeing Mark's ZR....but went a different direction.

looks good matt! i think you made the right choice. i like that Donzi way better than that black thunder. if you need me to show you how to hold her wide open let me know:poopoo:

Thanks for being on my side, that will help at alum. Make sure you tell Sheri that, she wanted the BT bad. As far as the sticks, I'll let you know if I can't get them there, but with effortless throttles I got a feeling it will be easy. Now getting everything out it will be a different story.
