Does any one have a 1996 or 1997 27zx non step hullDonzi. I had a 88 Z-21 but it was to small and did not handle the rough water all that well to short in length. Want to know if anybody likes the ride of the 27 footers before they did away with them for the twin engine Z28.

Hi Boomer, The 27ZX rides just as nice as the 28, The step hull gives the boat more air lift in return speed! The 27 is a solid good riding boat. The down fall is its a big boat with a single engine? With a 502 your only going to see 60 if that, And its harder to sell a bigger boat with one engine. Now only one foot smaller is the 26ZX that a single engine with a step. She can run to 70. Compare the price of the 27 used and look for a left over 26. By the time you go for a loan? You interest between new and old usally 1pt more will make a 10,000 differance between new are old? But if you like a solid good riding boat the 27 is. I own a 22ZX and I go everywere with that boat with confidence. Goodluck in your Quest for a great boat DONZI theres only 1 ? ps. Im not a boat salesman!
