28 donzi w 350s

Dang it Jamie. Can't you let us have a pissing match without your two cents
No, I would not have a stock 28 single over a stock 28 for the same money with twins. But then I would not have a stock anything
I guess that my point is that a properly setup (non stock)28 runs fine.
Jamie is pretty close on with the hp/speed numbers. My friends blown 500 efi was programmed by Marc Boos who got around 750 on the dyno with that setup. 750 hp+shorty gets him to 85 on the nose. Actually his high number is 85.9. That aint bad at all especially since he has about as much invested in the boat as a stock 28 with twins that runs 72.
Now as far as Fasttrucker's 28 goes, it sounds like Jamie really needs to set him up with a blower so he can run in the 80's too

Geez.....
Looks like I need to pay more attention to whats going on in here.......Thanks for the props Bill......however I will not be able to keep up with you in the near future....once I hit 250-300 hrs take the motor out.........and add some goodies and then a little more boost.....maybe then maybee I will be able to keep up with your new project....I do love my 500 EFI M-3 set-up! for now mid 80's is fine with me.

There is starting to be an opinion around my house that you may have inspired my latest project. I have not let on that its true. I dropped by Eddie's to take another check today. I guess that I had better get used to that. Breaking the 825 hp make is going to be expensive.

Donzi 350s
Im not really interested in big speed. I just want a boat large enough to handle Southern California oceans at a comfortable pace. I would prefer to do 50-55mph all the way to the islands. Ive done it in my Scarab 22 on calm days but those are few. I figured a donzi 28 gives me a longer hull, better ride and a single could still get me the speed I wanted. Plus Better gas mileage.

If you want to run at 50-55 all the way in a stocker and run offshore then a twin might be the answer. If you could find one well dialed in with a 500 EFI that would work as well and be slightly more efficient. Undertaker is right that you can't do that in a stock 502. If you are okay cruising around 45 you can do it with a stock 502

If thats all you want & you dont care about twins look for a 26zx.. Same boat less 14"... They have the same amount of cockpit & cabin space. The interiors are the same as the 28. The only difference is in the engine compartment. The 26 is a wave crusher as well.. I love mine, especially with my new blower motor.. Now I just have to finish propping it out.. Then I can load it with tits & ass this coming summer..lol Jamie / Lakeside

I agree 100 percent....
If ya buy a 26ZX or 28ZX or 33ZX or 22 classic you can not go wrong because they are Donzi's and are great boats:d
Jaime, I HOPE you get your boat on the bay with us next summer...I promise to keep you & fasttrucker behind me at all times
Undertaker

fuel consumption...
Basically it takes x amount of hp to push a 28ZX at a certain speed. It also takes basically the same amount of fuel to generate that hoursepower. It does not matter whether it is a twin or single. The single will be a little more efficient because of less weight and less drag.
If you want to run at 50-55 all the way in a stocker and run offshore then a twin might be the answer. If you could find one well dialed in with a 500 EFI that would work as well and be slightly more efficient. Undertaker is right that you can't do that in a stock 502.

The twins are the way to go if you plan on going offshore though...think about it.
The 350mag/MPI's are turn key, fuel misers with no issues. The 377's & 6.2's have had some issues.
I have almost 400hrs with no upgrades except Stainless Marine exhaust; added 150 rpms.
