2001 Donzi 26 ZFSold

2001 Donzi 26 ZF Twin Mercury 225 optimax 2-Stroke Magictilt Trailer. These engines were checked out and compression tested before we listed it for sale. The hours are only an estimate. We have the document to show you. It has a T-Top, Lee Outriggers with swivel control under T-Top, Garmin GPS Map 4212, Cobra VFH, Bolster pads, Removable Lean Post, Windlass and lots of service receipts.

Donzi's 26 ZF was designed to bring big-boat handling and features within reach, in an easy to trailer, easy to love 26-foot package. Donzi's proven ventilated step running surface and twin-engine muscle combine for a smooth, fast, dry ride, and like all Donzi's ZF models, the 26 ZF is loaded with thoughtful features throughout. The 26 ZF features a wide-open cockpit designed especially for the offshore angler. A flat floor runs the entire length of the cockpit for wide-open, 360-degree fishing. All hardware is flush mounted so there will be no snags when it comes time to land your trophy fish. The 26 ZF's wide beam means extra stability and plenty of room to move about.

In contrast to its futuristic hull, the 26 ZF's deck layout is pure, traditional center console, still arguably the most versatile fishing-boat setup made. And Donzi has designed in lots of fishing-friendly ideas, including a thin transom bulkhead in the integrated engine platform that offers perhaps the best compromise between the so-called "Euro-transom" and the more traditional, notched-transom designs.

Donzi has joined several other fishing-boat companies in building a bulkhead that doesn't contain fishboxes, sinks or live wells, and is therefore thinner, or less deep, than transom bulkheads which contain these items. It allows fishermen to stand closer to the stern when fighting a fish around the back of the boat, thereby lessening the chance of a cut-off.

A large, transverse fishbox lies just forward of the bulkhead, beneath a double-sided hatch. It drains overboard through a macerator pump. Cockpit coaming pads come standard, and the boat's 35-gallon live well is located in the aft end of the rocket-launcher/leaning-post assembly, where it's above deck and easily accessible. A pad on top of the live-well lid doubles as an aft-facing seat.

The console features a well-designed helm area with built-in drink holders and a good-sized electronics box above the wheel. Visibility is good through the wraparound, acrylic windshield, and the front console seat raises on gas rams for excellent access. There's a ton of room for storage beneath the console, and Donzi also throws in a standard porta-potty, just in case.

A raised casting deck forward contains a second transverse fishbox, plus a shallow storage box. The 26 ZF comes with a bow pulpit, anchor roller and a stainless-steel bow rail. Three cleats at the bow make anchoring easy, and the spring-line cleats are of the pop-up variety so they won't snag anything.

All Donzis feature high-tech composite construction, including the use of Plexus sealant to chemically bond hull and deck, and custom-blended vinylester resins. Donzi is so sure of its techniques that it offers the industry-leading Z-Care five-year limited warranty, which backs virtually everything installed at the factory for a full five years. That includes factory-installed electronics, gauges and engines. It means that you can not only look good while going faster than everybody else to the fishing grounds, you'll also have peace of mind once you get there.
