I'm new to the registry, and I am really enjoying it. I just wanted to say I bought my first Donzi 22zx and I love it. Its a 99 with the 454 and bravo drive. It has all the standard features and has less than 45 hours on her. The previous owner's wife was afraid of her so he did not take her out much. Then he found out they were having twins and the Donzi went up for sale. My only problem is she will not fit im my garage. What are my choices for a full cover? I have a cockpit cover, but want to keep her dry and out of the sun when i'm not on the water. Also I picked her up in Pensacola Fl. and towed her to Fort Smith Arknasas. She tows wonderful. I think I'm almost as happy as when my sons were born. Anyhow, I just wanted to join in the forum and registry.
Thanks

Murse, Welcome to the board and to the world of Donzi-ism!. Sounds like you have a cool as hell boat. Like the guys said, we need some pics....make sure to register it too > http://www.donzi.net/registry.cfm

How short are you on the garage? You can get a trailer to the flip up tongue? I got myself a full enclosure from www.coverit.com 12x8x30 feet half round. I think it was around $640. Very good quality. There's a pic in this thread: http://www.donzi.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27486

Hope she treats you well.......

Congratulations!

You will definitely want a full cover. I also have to keep mine out in the cold :frown: . To provide even more protection I basically construct a tent over her using a heavy poly-tarp strung over a tight clothes line running axially 2 or 3 feet over the boat. Then bungee the tarp gromments to the trailer. Provides good protection all the way down to the chine.
