As the story goes, Donzi got its name from Aronow’s secretary who nicknamed him: “Donzi Baby.” A multifaceted brand featuring high-tech hull technology, Donzi’s models range from the retro 16 Classic—known as the “Sweet Sixteen”—to the fishfinding ZF and ZFX outboard fishboat series to the speed demon ZR line of offshore high performance boats that go up to 43 feet in length. Fountain is another fire-breathing brand, founded in 1972 by tunnel-hull boat racer Reggie Fountain. Headquartered in Washington, N.C., the company set out with single-minded determination to build the smoothest handling, fastest performance boat on the market. Over the years, Fountain the boat brand has broken every world V-bottom hull race boat speed record—in fact, it has broken its own speed record nine times! In addition to performance sportboats ranging from 35 to 47 feet, Fountain also builds a line of highly competitive fish boats that have won more Southern Kingfish Association Championships than any other brand.

Their fishing boat line, built by serious anglers for serious anglers, soon “hooked” fishermen across the country and ultimately became one of the best-known brands in the world. Built with top quality construction, components and rigging, Pro-Line Boats gained a sterling reputation for durability and fishability. The line has expanded to include more than 15 models ranging from 20 to 35 feet, including center consoles, dual consoles, open Sport, Super Sport and Grand Sport fish
