Default 1989 Donzi Z25

I'm looking at a 89 Z25 for $8000 with a rebuilt motor and outdrive. However I found it interesting that there was no head on the boat at all. Did these boats have a portapotty or spot to put one? The fiance isn't going to let it fly without that. Also are there any other common issues I should be watching out for?

There should be a porti-potty on board. I had one for several years that I used in the waters off of Boston and the Cape. That boat rides incredible for the size.

It has a trailer and I got it for 7700. Was hoping for a little less because it cost me a grand to get it shouted home but I'm still happy with it. I'll get pictures once its here.

I have an 87 Z25 and I love the boat. She might not be the fastest boat on the water but she is a head turner.

I got the boat last Thursday and will admit that as the shipper pulled in my driveway I was thinking something along the lines of "what have I done". The hull was very oxidized and very faded. After taking a look around though I came to realize it did indeed have a rebuilt motor, drive, new stringers, new fuel tank, and new interior (outside interior, not down below). So I came up with a plan to have it ready by labor day and my friend and I spent the night Friday (went to bed at 6am sat morning) putting a full black vinyl wrap from the rub rail down to the water line. Left the bottom red and the top white because they weren't faded. Anyways I love the color combo and couldn't be happier. Thankfully my friend is really good at doing wraps so total the cost was $250 for vinyl and beer. I have a few limited pictures from this weekend but we had it out everyday since Friday and couldn't be happier. Of course we've had a few hiccups along the way like the bilge pump switch is out so after being on the water for 3 days and it raining a little one of them I had to jump the wires to get a little water out, but its better than could be expected from a 20 year old used boat. I'll get more pictures soon.
