got a few questions about 38 zx's. i have a chance to pick up a 99 38zx with 525's. it has about 200 hrs or so on it. boat is very nice but needs a little TLC from sitting un-used for the past 2 years, needs a bit of cleaning and a few little things touched up to be 100% perfect. boat is also on a new $12k Eagle trailer. my question is, is there room to turn a few bucks on a boat like this? what would this boat be worth in the current market? my purchase price for this rig on the trailer is right around 100k. thanks guys

I know there was a 99 or 00 with the 525 sitting at a marine in Ct for along time. They where asking 119K not sure what it sold for.

thats actually the feeling i am getting, they are not moving at all. i posted this on donzi.net board and was told the 525's hurt the resale.to bad it really is a great boat. seems the 500efi is the choice power and i know they are very close in speed #'s.

I sold two with the 525SC package, and they work real nicely...not that much faster than 500EFI's, but the blower whine and x-tra mid/top end punch is a cool added value. The 525SC was a proven reliable pkg. for many years in a lot of different hulls. Properly maintained, they'll last hundreds of hours. Downside is carburation/fuel consumption/ cold-start drill.
The 38 ZX usually appeals to folks who appreciate the wide beam/large cabin/ammenities.

That seems like a aweful lot of boat for the money. Purchase it, fix it, and use it until you sell it.

I am looking for a 22 white Donzi that was for sale last week by a guy named Tom I spoke to him and was interested in the boat but I failed to write down his number--do you happen to know him? It had a Blackhawk Drive. I'm trying to reach him??
