Did a sea trial on a 28ZX yesterday with the 6.2 mercs. My surveyor (an ex pro throttle man) and I were disappointed with the boat's handling. It took a lot of work (constant little adjustments) to get it to go where you wanted it to and seems unstable (like it could dart anywhere at anytime).

Before this run I was set on a 28' donzi with twin, but now I am second guessing.

Does this sound typical for this boat, or was this particular boat just a P.O.S.? Everything checked out pretty well on the survey and all the other comments I have dug up on OSO say the 28ZX is great in the rough. This was in calm.

Something to note ...

Boat had 1/2 cable, 1/2 hydraullic steering.

TIA for your comments.

go to the www.donzi net .com & ask that same ouestion they will have an answer for you just for the record never heard of that problem on adonzi but i did drive a200 thousand $ fromula that did that very disapointing good luck

Glad to see there are some performance guys in this part of Florida. My folks have a condo down their, Cape Canveral ( Caveral Towers), and I never see any performance boats when I go down.
