Wow, that is pretty wild........ Great job on the paint!

very nice who did all the work I am in farmingron MI

I did all the rigging, built the engine, designed and built the dash, rewired the boat and built the seat frames.
TAOD did the paint and Mcleod did the seat design and interior

Great job Brian!!

:ernaehrung004: Looks great Brian - are you coming to LG also? Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Brian, that thing looks Awesome...I have a 92 myself and am looking to re-do the boat as well...Congrats on a beautiful boat...:drink:

WOW!!! Great Work!Don't forget to post the photos in the water and running shots.

Thanks and no I will not be making LG as I have a local poker run next weekend I will be in it with my own boat. Next year I WILL attend AOTH unless the "Great Depression II" hits before then.

Mick E-mailed pics to the head of sales at Donzi last night and already got a "WOW" response this morning so they are watching.


Mick is on his way for the water test, I will have camera in hand and post when I get back.

What Matty said. :)

Brain, you are obvioulsy a hell of a craftsman. Amazing work.......

The boat looks even better in person, even when it is dusty. I've seen it. Brian did some work on my 22 Classic also. Anyone in metro Detroit looking for a mechanic to work on your performance boat I recommend Brian.

Very sweet Brian! Great job!

Great Job!:drink:

Glad to see ...someone's getting away from the plain brown wrapper with the classic's! Great job! :drink:

Any info on the seats?

Nothing like the old traditional Classic paint job. It has it's time and place. It always will. I have a pretty well appointed 26ZX with some wild power for that hull. I keep my boat in a pretty cool marina and they are down with the whole big power thing. That being said, I was out in my 1973 X-18 this weekend. I had several folks pull me aside to tell me they respected what I did with the 26 but they liked the X-18 the best. I drove 30 miles up the lake to see a friend that has a Hustler 388 with Young 950's and Arnesons. He showed his friends my X-18 like it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. His boat was decked out to the 9's and he wanted to talk about my little Donzi. Classic Donzi's and the classic scheme will always have that timeless look.

I do think that this is very cool though. Good do see something out of the box. This boat looks way over the top. I like it and hope to see it in person one day.

:eekdrop::eekdrop::eekdrop:nicely done

awesome job on the boat is that yours? any ways the air ride seats are sick esecialy that 525 nice boat

Awsome looking boat. The whole thing looks great, I hope you make it to AOTH next year. I would love to see it it person.

pretty elaborate set up:drink:,somebody spent some coin

Yeap...
 

True statement, agree with ya completely!

Mick just called and the boat took all the awards at the Donzi dust off in Lake George. :party-smiley-020:

Ya made it happen from the beginning ....very nice job! :drink:

That is one of the nicest looking 22s I have ever seen "Great job"

That boat is beautiful, Im tring to find a 22 shelby gt.

i was just wondering how much did all the upgrades cost you, and what is the top speed on that now?

The boat is not mine I did it for customer and the cost...lets just it was not cheap.

Very Nice Stuff! Boat looks Incredible!!!

Mick was trying a few props up at lake george and trying to get her dialed in last i heard it was a tad off 80 and improving all the time
pics don't do it justice you have to see it in person

Has he tried a shorty drive? I would think it would help a great deal with how low the drive is mounted.

Boat is very cool!

you know there is so much to look at on that boat I am not sure what he has for a drive

We originally built the boat with a -2 IMCO shorty and it ran about 3 MPH faster but between the picking up weeds and cavitation issues Mick decided to put the stock lower back on.

That boat looks like the most expensive 22' Donzi in existence.
