Boy do I like this boat:yes::yes:!!! I have driven some cool boats over the years but this boat is awesome. I know there are faster but this does the ticket for handling, speed and looks!

2002 28zx, 175 hours, twin 350 mags, aluminum trailer.

setting at the helm i feel like a pimp (laid back seating):pimp:

Daughter is totally upset with this boat because i told her the Blackwidow needs to find a new home (she loves the porthole windows)! So if you or someone you know is interested in a '91 24' Blackwidow, go to the 'Donzi's For Sale' section here or go to ebay for the auction.

Pimping is right. Or maybe being an all out porn star.

Are you going to name it Fishin Sucks. I like that name

Congratulations Tom.

It’s about time you came out of the closet. This is one of the boats I had my eye on. Someone talked me into a Scorpion and we really love it. You may need to add some center bunks on the trailer. I still want to get over to your place soon. If someone didn’t buy a house I would have been out there already. And the weather has been awful.

Next year we should have a bunch of 28ZX boats on hand.

And yes he did buy IT….

I'm afraid I don't see how you can possibly get full enjoyment out of that boat in Indiana.

I suggest you bring it with you on your next buisness trip to California. I've got a ramp just a couple blocks from my office and I'll gladly boot the 28 Four Winns down in the marina off it's hydro hoist to make room for your new toy.

Provided I get a ride, that is.

Tom, very nice ride!
But please, what ever you do; do NOT touch the starter!!
I repeat, do NOT touch the starter.

Hey Tom, great looking boat! Haul it back down to the "Redneck Riviera" and we will go back to Lulus!
Here is another photo of the Donzi Girls when you were down. They sure put away some drinks!

Congrats Tom, now you wont have to use my porta potti.. lol

great looking boat, don't worry about the starters, we should have plenty of spare parts for 28's next year.
so when you bringing down to Cumberland?

you were always a P I M P, now your a PIMP with a bigger extension.

Thanx everyone! And yes, no more starters:smash::smash:! I tossed that gear-reduced piece of sh:hangum:t and put the original one back on, works like a champ now (fixed a couple of other things too for the next proud owner)! Thanx again to Don and Sue, my grease monkey crew, for being a patient audience! No more JB Weld if I can help it, but I have proven I am not afraid to use it:smash:!

In a sense Don (Zelatore), you're right, our lake just shrunk up a whole bunch with the speed and length of this baby. Guess I need to head to the gay bay:eek!: and play on some big water:boat:. However, Lake Michigan and Lake Erie are a lot closer, when you come to visit your family here, tell them 'hi' and 'bye' and come up to Northern Indiana and spend a day on the boat!

Deric, Chrismas in July, don't give up on Put-In-Bay yet!

Barry, you and Denise can just steel one of those PIMP-daddy caddies:pimp: and aim it north and hang on our turf!

Mike and Byron, you've been a big help, hope I don't wear out the welcome mat.

Shea cant be a PIMP with a hat like that, we need to PIMP-you-UP!

Porn Star: I dont know Hedgy, its only 27' 7"!

Not to worry - My marina is in Oakland. Here you don't have to worry about the gays, just the gangs. :smash:

Congrats on the new bad a$$ ride! Looks like you won't have a problem having a good summer. I'm sure your daughter will get over the lack of portholes after a few rides. Have fun!

Thanx my Brutha! She was crying again tonite because some people stopped by the house tonite that were interested in her (boat). They actually saw it on ebay last night and were driving around today and saw it in my driveway (pretty bizarre).

Now if we can just get a ZX model to make the feature for next year's AOTH, then I KNOW we can count on you to make a WICKED SICK design for the T-shirt next year!?!?!?! I know you can do it, now what does it take to make it happen?

Thanx Sy! Mikey kind of gave me a complex at first 'cause he didn't like the fiberglass pharing as well as the windshield. But I have decided that I really like the looks of the pharing:yes:, it's different!

I love the look of a fairing! I had one on the 27ZX and it looked badass!

thanx for the support Hedgy, Rick, Sweet, Jefe, et all. We went out for our second voyage today with a couple of friends......DANG (anybody that knows me knows i wouldnt really say dang, just keepin it clean outta respect), this thing is cool!!! Our friends bought a beautiful new Mastercraft last year, but when I let him drive this today, I think he is ready to give up waterskiing! Not knocking waterskiing, I am one of the founding members of the Ball State University Water Ski Team (1989).

i didn't give up yet, the parents have though. so if we come we will be on the 28zx. i have to talk danielle into living on the boat for the weekend. she's not much of a camper. actually if she could shower she would be fine i have 110 outlets on my boat so she could use all her dryers and other hair crap. i'll work on her some this weekend.

Thanx Mikey! You may want to PM Trueser (Mike) and ask him, he had the 2000 28zx Scorpion at AOTH this year that he just bought a few months ago. there are some pictures of it at the top of this board if you scroll through them. Good luck and let me know what you end up with.

ps. did you like my response on ebay? Barbi said Shelley's aren't 'bolt-ons', so now I feel bad:(

Tom, You should feel bad! She is all natural...That hurts my feelings, never mind Shelley's feelings. Anyway, Good luck selling that boat!

I'm just sick about the whole thing! But now that I have gone through about 5seconds of self therapy, I'm fine, I'm okay! Keep in touch my brutha, always great hearing from you!
