The Donzi 27 ZR runs 82-84mph with the 525 and runs 72-74 with the 496/HO all depends on water. In Florida were the boats are tested they run a little faster in the heavy saltwater and run slower the more north you go. A boat that runs 74 in Florida will run 2mph slower in NY/NJ and if its fresh water shave 4mph off.

Extended warranties are almost always a losing game, thats why they exist. If a warranty costs $5000 then there is a 99% chance the total repair bills will be under $5000 over the life of the warranty. Its like insurance or gambling, the house always wins in the long run. If not, they wouldn't be for sale.

If you get wear and tear you can maintain the engine and drives through the warranty process. Drives, electrical, and gages are covered. Trust me, the way I boat, 100 hours a year, I will use 5K a side over the next 5 years just is drives and maintenance!!!! Plus, boats that have the extended have better days on market than boats without warranty. The resale is also between 2-5% higher. Someone is more willing to buy a used boat when their AZZ is covered on mechanical than not. Thats real value my friend...
