Their DOGS
Good looking boats but unneeded Deep Vee's all the way to the stern Spell PIG in Performance.
No need to have anything more than a 10 degree aft section on a 80 thousand pound 70 foot boat..
Bertram with their old 46 foot slugs had a 24 degree bottom . There was not a enough Horsepowere to get them out of their own Ditch they Dug.
If you want to go Fast through any Sea with a large Sport Fishing boat call this Gentleman.

When I was a kid there was a beautiful Donzi sportfish called "Queen Anne's Concrete Machine" that was kept on Lake Boca. This boat was a showstopper and you could see it from A1A. The boat was know to the locals as "Concrete Machine".......it was a nice piece!

Went on one at the 93 Miami Boat Show and toured it with Bob Roscioli himself . They had already been in production for some time before that . Bob doesn't accept substandard work in any form and they were exceptionally well built and finished boats.
Not 24 degrees at the transom though .. more like 18 or under if I recall correctly .
They were originally the brainchild of Genth and Houser when they bought Donzi from the Chisholms and they were planning to put the name Donzi on any and everything . Remember the Cologne and credit cards ?
Roscioli bought the right to the Z65 sportfisher line .
Many years back there was a feature on the weather channel about one that got caught in a hurricane off of Hawaii and subsequently ended up having to be scuttled.
