I know that very, very soon. The Harbormaster will setup an account to hang everything off of the All Donzi List. In preperation, Some of you have sent some really good stuff to be added. For example. Eric sent out total specs on the Genth Z boat line with addendiums:
"The Donzi Z series - 1986-1989
Basic Facts: The first Z series was the brain-child of Dick Geneth after he acquired Donzi in 1985. It was his attept to bring Donzi from the "Niche" player that it had been into the forefront of the performance boating community. Introduced as part of the 1986 model lineup, Donzi designed the Z33 as the flagship, with the Z29 and the Z25 rounding out the fleet. The Z21 was added in 1986 as a 1987 model. All boats switched to OMC Power for the 1989 model year.
Designers:
Chris Collier - According to sources on Donzi.net
Dick Genth - According to Boating Magazine Article - 1986
Don Westerman - Quoted as "Engineering" the Z series in Muscle Boats - Henry Rasmussen 1988

Comments:
Early boats with Through-Hull exhaust exited over the the Swim Step, was changed to unique Side-Exit by the factory. Most boats have port-holes, although I have seen some without. Other than 2 small compartments under the rear seat, and a small compartment behind in the back of the front Bolsters, the cockpit has NO storage, which was the biggest complaint in all of the reviews of the day.
Continued as Z22 with OMC Power in 1989
ZB21 -
Open Bow
Specs same as Z21"
This is exactly the way I want to fillout the linked HTML pages, but I need help gathering the info. cause, I don't have easy access to a good library and lost alot of stuff in a Virus attack. I was so close too. You can see that the new format of the list arranges boats in series when first introduced. With that in mind, I need someone to pick a series and find the specs for the boats in that series - ie the Regazza line, the Blackwidow series, the Deck Boats, the LX C/R series, or writeups on various non series boats like the 16. And easy project would be the new Z boats as pamphets are readyly available at your local Donzi Dealer. Any and all annotation on models is also encouraged. Dont worry about spelling or grammer. I'll make ya look good.
