Shown here, an alternate view of the Guest twin pictures the excellent woodwork, incurvate, molded to fit the occasion, its hanging locker and dresser drawers. There’s also the 30” TV to bolster the evening’s entertainment.
| |
Down one level, two-berth crew quarters also boasts a laundry area, sound insulated auxiliary machinery room, plus private entry from the engine room, as well as an aft entry/exit from the cockpit.
| |
In spite of close quarters, the crew sports its own private head, with toilet, vanity/medicine cabinet and a clever, disappearing sink.
| |
Now you see it, now you don’t. This cleverly designed sliding sink slips in or out of view, as needed.
| |
R-80’s robust pair of MTU/Detroit Diesels: 2,000 hp 16V 2000, w/100 amp alternators, a roomful by any measure, rest comfortably in her voluminous recesses. Side by side, ready to perform, the premier builder has allotted enormous access room to these giants, making for convenient total attention. Simply stated, servicing should be a snap.
| |
MTU/Detroit Diesels flaunt DDEC III controls featuring sequential turbocharging with 3 water-cooled exhaust-gas turbochargers; triple walled, liquid cooled. Each engine is 9.48’ long, 4.25’ wide, and 4.67’ high. The twins move this magnificent vessel, developing 1790 kW – 2400 hp, up to 40 knots, great speed for a sportfish/luxury yacht this size.
| |
In gleaming gold, the Aquadrive shaft coupler absorbs vibration normally transmitted to load carrying bulkheads. This unit also stabilizes the alignment. Additional vibration suppression comes from MTU's isolation mounts.
|
All things considered, we’re here to confirm Roscioli’s Donzi-80 Sportfisher is indeed a Luxury Yacht/Sportfisher to remember. For the Sportfisherman who has the passion/guts to lead the charge into big-time Tournaments, but relishes his upscale cruising comforts as well; this beautiful but tough tomboy has to be a number one contender.
One thing's for sure... Roscioli Does It Right! <end>
