Re: 33 with 496 hos.
 

Great Question! They have not done one on the 33 AT yet. All of the 33 AT's have 525EFI's. My buddy is a Donzi dealer and he has done it on 3 35 Donzis and he gets 5-6mph on top and about 3mph in the mid range on each with the CMI package. I would assume it would be comparable on the 33 AT since they are about the same weight. You are probably looking at a mid to upper 80's boat. The great news is that Mercruiser will warranty it up to 5 years if installed by the builder. It will cost you about 6K-7K for both engines.

One of these! :confused: :evilb: :D

To me the 33 w/496HOs and CMIs is the perfect set up. Priced right/warr-5yrs/ Ins-cheaper by a long shot over Blue motors/ Good speeds/ HUGE cabin(if you use it) Just can't go wrong with it,perfect boat

I agree with cosmic on that and if I could just find that money tree I will have one of those before the end of this year.:cool:

You need to get rid of the goats. If one does sprout near you, they will get to it first; just like a wife. :D

6 MPH with a set of headers alone?

Re: 33 with 496 hos.
 

I've called BS on that before :rolleyes:

that equals enough power/RPM to go up 2 inches of pitch min.

pretty amazing for 35HP a side

Re: 33 with 496 hos.
 

I have never been in the Donzi. That is what my friend tells me. It gets more than 35 a side. You are looking at 45 a side. That’s 90 HP.. Most step bottom boats gain 1 mph for ever 12 to 13 HP. Plus you go up in prop...He is running 32 labbed bravos vs 28 stock bravos. Build one and let’s see...

condidered it. As I had my 353 sold to another board member.

but... I'm 6'5" and hang out on my boat/stay aboard alot.

The minimized cabin and sunpad of the 35ZR just won't cut it.
