Well, it's kind of a slow day so I thought I'd dig out my Z Series Hull Number Spreadsheet and see what I could figure out. I started out last year trying to figure out if the hull numbers "crossed" years (they do), and if I could figure out approximately how many of each hull they made. So, based on the small sample of Z boats in the Registry, here's what I found:
Z21's -
Earliest #024 - Made in April 1986
Latest #244 - Made in March 1989
I think we can then assume that around 250 Z21's were made total.
Z21 Bowriders -
Only 2 in the Registry #022 & #030 made in November of '86 and May of '87 Respectively...it's starting to look like these may be pretty rare. I don't suppose anyone could go get the hull number off of the one for sale in Sanford, FL that is advertised as a Hornet :rolleyes: ?
Z25 -
Earliest #003 - September 1985
Latest #232 - May of 1988
I'm now guessing that based on the fact that the latest boat in the registry is still pretty early in 1988 that this may actually be the most produced of the Z models.
Z29 -
Earliest #022 - Jan 1986
Latest #120 - May 1987
There are only 5 registered....come on Z29 folks...this is one of, if not, my favorite Donzi....register them please wink
Z33 -
Earliest #007 - I actually looked at this boat last year, I know if was manufactured in '85 - But I can't remember the month.
Latest #229 - June 1989 - 1990 model.
It looks like they kept making the Z33 even after they discontinued the other Z boats.
General observation - It looks like Donzi changed the HIN scheme between '86 and '87. The earlier boats are numbered as DMR25xxx, DMR29xxx, etc. Whereas later then started using DMRZAxxx for the 21 through DMRZExxx for the 33.
Overall, this may not be of any interest to anyone but me...but what can I say, I'm a geek :rolleyes: .
Owen,
I'll happily add this info to the Z boat stuff I already sent if you want.
