This the boat?

Been looking for it for some time. I have the Nova24 race boat. Twin motors to a single V Drive to a single prop. Have lots of questions and would love to see the set up.

Here is what I did (why don't OSO have a video button?). www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA-bAhO101g

*All the Donzi experts are over at donzi.net , they will know the whole story.*
It's the same people on both sites except .net is 'public' by comparison with .org
.net is the 'original site' as you know . What makes the people on the newer site the experts but the same people on the older site aren't ?
Anyone searching for information is going to find it a lot easier on .net

Did you read the original post I quoted????
My boat's drive train was a almost copy (minor upgrades) of the Donzi 28's and I have often wondered if it may have actually came out of one. Once they were done racing these boats they were nothing but wasted fiberglass at that point so they stripped them most of the time and dumped it in the new boat. Just made sense. Why leave parts rot in the yard? I could easily see Brownie having the Donzi sitting out back (that's now a few years old) and saying lets slap the power out of it in this new 24 foot Nova hull and see if we can get it to work this time (the minor upgrades I mentioned). I don't know though. My research is fuzzy back then and everyone I ask says if you remember to much you were not really there.
Brownie is going to have to chime in to know for sure
