My fellow Donzi lovers (hey, it's convention season and I must be politically correct),
I waited in anticipation for this remarkable machine, the Donzi 38ZR, and have watched the beast take the racing world by storm. What a success record in three years of racing. No doubt, the next generation of Donzis will follow this tradition. BUT, the Donzi 38ZR, seemlingly,has not taken the boat buying nation by storm, if we look at the sales to individuals, wouldn't you agree that there aren't too many out there. And, several are on the market again. As HP600 showed, there's one at John's Pass Marina that is new, a couple of years, old and getting older by the milli-second. My guess is that it could be bought right.
So, what's the reason that it's not too popular? One on the Donzi salesmen at a marina near me told us that because it does not have a cabin, and more importantly, no head, that it doesn't appeal to family boaters. That leaves the single guy, who isn't looking to get married anytime soon, who likes to go real fast, who doesn't have a girlfriend who would like a cabin to change in, or go potty in, who needs no storage, who also likes to go across the bay at 100 MPH, OR the married guy who has no family, & won't have one anytime soon, who has a wife who also loves to go real fast, like the girlfreind, and with no potty, has kidneys of steel and the capacity of a camel, who also needs no storage, & most of all, doesn't mind her husband going out on the weekend with his buddies, in the "Chick Magnet Boat" of the century..............did I about cover it?
I asked Smila today if whe would rather be sporting around in a Donzi 38ZR, with lots of eye-appeal, or would she just as soon be out there in our 1989 Donzi Z-33, that ain't never gonna break 60MPH, with the present 454's; but, cruises at a real comfortable 40/45MPH, and has a cabin with a potty (Which I don't get the importance; because, it has been used twice in 3 years), and also has lots of room. You know what she said: "I like the Z-33 better". (What a good politician she is, because she knows I will never be able to afford a Donzi 38ZR.)
