Welcome to the Donzi Classic club. Get some seat time before you get too cocky because these boats are unique and you can throw a lot of what you know about driving a boat out the window. Once you master driving a Donzi 22 Classic they are a blast. Very predictable and fun once you master them. I run 83-85 top with a 525. If you are truly making 590 hp then I'd guess mid 80s. The King Cobra has proven to be a very tough drive but will preclude you from installing an Imco shorty which these hulls respond well to. Many of these boats are running in the 80s and 90s and I know of two that run over 100 mph. Just get lots of seat time on smooth water first. There are two excellent sites/forums that concentrate on Donzi Classics. Donzi.org, owned by Scott B (previous post) and Donzi.net.
