Nice, it is a great 85 mph boat.

That sounds about right. My friend Bryan had similar numbers in his 27ZX twin step. His is one of the first out of the mold and had a light layup. Our steps and pad have the same dimensions. He has another lower strake.

Glad to hear that you are doing Donzi justice. I've surprised a few guys who thought 22 Classics were 65 mph boats...........:coolcowboy:

Still testing props. I saw 76 with a 32 at 4600 RPMS. Trying out a Mercury Racing Labbed 30, but I broke m tach last time I was out, so I did not want to beat on it to much without being able to monitor the RPM's. With the stock 502 running 5psi, I sam 79.8 on GPS, so I am guessing 85ish

Yep, I have surprised quite a few 80+ mph boats in my little 70 mph 18.

Hey Joey, keep us posted on the prop thing. I have not had success with labbed Bravo's with the hull but who knows. It might be just what you need to get into the right part of the curve so always worth trying.

What would you suggest for a prop? I tried a 28 and it was okay, but that is when my tach broke so not quite sure how it was

I have an old Baja that would make you Donzi guys wish you were still at the dock...... even you Carl (thirdchildhood).





SO THERE............................................. :evilb:

I hope that you are doing a little better than the 89.1 you ran last Fall. You will need a good bit more than that.

I have heard that you do great work though. Mick and Todd speak highly of you. Maybe you got busy over the winter?:party-smiley-004:

It will run in the mid 90's this year and a bought a mini me (24 Outlaw) last weekend to run with the Donzi boys next year at AOTH.

Mid 90's is hauling the groceries. It is still 8-10 mph short of running with my 26ZX so I don't exactly feel tied to the dock:evilb:

You do need to bring that mini me down to AOTH. We have a lot of fun and it is a great crowd. It is not really a contest or anything. Just a bunch of guys that love to run their boats and have fun.

My fav is watching the guys in the 16's run. There are a few that look like they rolled off the showroom last week and the guys run them like they stole them. Watching these guys launch is a site to see. Big air in little boats and they go right back into them. Heck I ran it hard in my X-18 and the beatings were pretty good. The 16's....some of those guys have big ones.

The Awakening of the Horses is a large time.

Some still only run 65 (ie mine):angry-smiley-038:
